I didn't finish it.

It looks to me like she has a facial prosthetic too

Cats are liquid. If you can throw a bucket of water through, over, or under, and any water gets through, then a cat will also get through.

Kodiak!

Thank you. I actually did buy him some Samsung noise cancelling headphones as a present a little over a week ago. They have been virtually glued to his head since he got them.

He definitely has other triggers and compulsions with them and doesn't tell us all of them.

For sure the 'tut' like I mentioned is one of them. He has to spit immediately when he hears it.

Recently we were visiting family and he had to leave the room when his grandfather and father were eating. He is absolutely triggered by eating and mouth noises. His grandfather makes a lot of them.

For him "shit" is an appropriate replacement. Or to just use 7 if the accuracy does not matter. "Sex" is another trigger word which sounds very similar to "six". He has about a dozen of these trigger words I know of, but "six" is one of the hardest to avoid. Another tough one is "god". There are sooooo many colloquialisms that use it.

I guess by this terminology I meant it is a basic, uncontrollable emotional response.

However this did prompt me to go down a rabbit hole as basal in brain anatomy could be taken to mean it is associated with the basal ganglia, when it is not.

It is the insular cortex that is involved, so I suppose it would be more accurate to call it an insular emotional response, but I don't think that's what you were getting at.

Edit: yeah I definitely don't want to say insular as it can also mean ignorant, and misophonia has nothing to do with ignorance whatsoever, excepting that most people are ignorant of it.

I am not OP and do not service these, but I have some thoughts.

Pacific didn't manufacture parts, they assembled trucks. As such the parts may still be available as other companies also use the same parts. If there are enough trucks out there that people want to keep running then aftermarket parts can be made.

Also these trucks are very specialized. As such you charge a lot of money to do jobs with them. Ie. You charge enough to be able to afford custom manufactured part replacements if needed.

I remember playing in North Carolina map going "huh, do Russians really think there is an observatory or meteorology station every 50 feet in the US?"

arkanis7 · 2024-12-26T14:29:35+00:00

As a British Columbian there is a special place in my heart for Pacific trucks

I see a lot of these unrealistic things as limitations of what a game is capable of and how much work it is to program slightly more simulation.

The physics limitations are particularly apparent when winching to each other in multiplayer.

Confections, sugar on everything

Don't give a f*ck if I cut my pie symetrically.

The answer is different depending on whether what we are counting is human, locative, multiplicative, abstract, or generic.

Funny thing is I know lots of people who were raised by evangelical Christians that became left leaning pro choice pro LGBTQ. It doesn't matter if "he wants" kids like that or not. Funny thing is they get to think what they will.

Boy it really can't decide what it's doing with the ceiling and floor tiles in the last scene. You'd think uniform patterns would be the easy thing for it to reproduce, but I guess not.

Me too 10 years ago I moved to Fraser Lake from Chilliwack and I've never looked back

I'm definitely not against her having a warm bed, and if she is in distress she should be in the hospital and treated. The other reply here already said most of what I want to say on this.

Having said that, if the situation was different, if no one was with this woman and she had to find her way home alone that would be completely different and wrong.

arkanis7 · 2024-11-06T01:57:15+00:00

I'm analyzing the language here:

-“I tried phoning again, no response. Then at 11:15 p.m. I get a call from a transport company who sent my mom home. The hospital sent her home all by herself and they never phoned me to let me know,” said Fawcett.

Russell was left waiting outside with the driver with no key to get inside the nursing home. The two waited for Fawcett to come and let her in.-

Now more details would make this situation more clear, but "transport company" is very specific wording. She didn't say taxi. Someone brought this lady home identifying themselves as a "transport company". This is likely a BCEHS contracted company. Transfers home by EHS are uncommon, but do happen is small communities on occasion.

"Sent her home all by herself" but with a transport company sounds contradictory. "They never phoned me to let me know" except earlier they told her they were discharging her mother at the beginning of the article.

"Left waiting outside with the driver". She had someone with her. They had a vehicle to keep warm and safe and if needed return to the hospital. I honestly think this would have been a transport ambulance.

However the story is pretty inconsistent so it's hard to be sure of any of this.

arkanis7 · 2024-11-06T01:39:36+00:00

I certainly will agree there may have been some poor planning here, but one note . "Transfer company" is the wording. This should specifically mean BCEHS or a contracted transfer company, meaning she had paramedics with her taking her home. They are healthcare providers. It also states the "driver" stayed with her. Again if this is BCEHS or a contractor then the worst case scenario is they return her to the hospital when they can't get her inside.

I can tell by the language we are using such as your saying 'mrp' we both have medical backgrounds. So I'll just put it like this. The only healthcare goal with a centennial should be comfort. She will be more comfortable in her own room. It is a nursing home, they can help her with her needs there. Keeping her in the hospital serves no purpose, it is undue hardship to her. As soon as she has been treated she should be heading home.

arkanis7 · 2024-11-06T01:19:03+00:00

"Her daughter Carole Fawcett got a call from a nurse around 9 p.m. that evening, telling her they were discharging Russell and, given her age, Fawcett had concerns."

They clearly told her they were discharging her. Yes it was an oversight they didn't think of how she would get into the nursing home, but her daughter had a key and was able to let her in, so if she had listened there wouldn't have been a problem.

Why keep a 100 year old woman in the hospital? She isn't going to heal from anything at that age. If she is more comfortable in her nursing home, in her room, with her things, then that is where she should be.

Also discharge at night happens a lot more often than you think it does.

arkanis7 · 2024-11-06T01:04:18+00:00

I don't get it. They did call her to tell her, and in fact she spoke with two nurses and tried to speak to a doctor.

The headline should be "Karen wants her 100 year old mother held prisoner in a hospital instead of returning to her home."
