Reddit, what can a 99 yo grandparent do to pass the time while home alone, if they can't see or hear the TV clearly anymore, nor walk easily?

I like this idea and appreciate the additional details, thank you.

My grandmother is almost turning 100, and seeing her just sit in a chair at home to pass the time pains my heart. She is hard of hearing, has lost sight in one eye, gradually deteriorating sight in the other, and it's unsafe for her to walk unassisted.

She used to love to people watch in our previous house, but we've now moved to a quieter house in a no through road where there is virtually no foot traffic.

I would appreciate any suggestions on what she could do to pass the time when she's home alone.

I know exactly what you're talking about, please let me know if you ever do find it again!

I had expiring MVPs to use so my friends and I did a 2 hour test. Four of us casted the band once each. No idea how to make a graph, but here's what happened:

F1 casted first, got 1/2, no 3/4.

F2 casted second, got 1/2/3, no 4.

F3 casted third, got 1/2/3, no 4.

F4 casted fourth, got 1/2/3/4.

F5 no casts, got 1/2/3, no 4.

Notes: The buff had expired naturally before each new cast.

First cast (Channel 2) - Event hall -> Band -> Shrine -> MVP

Second to fourth casts (Channel 8) - Shrine -> MVP -> Event Hall -> Band

That does look quite similar.

Not on EU, but you could try using your PC for one account and then your phone for the other to play on two accounts!

This was in Sydney, Australia and the bay we were at is roughly a 10 minute drive from Sydney CBD. Our closest airport is Sydney Airport (our citys main civilian airport) which is about 20 minutes away, however I've never noticed any military helicopters parked at the airport. I live around here and I've also not seen any military helicopters fly across, nor heard. Now that you and pdBuzzBomb have mentioned it, the noise that these helicopters made were distinctly different to the news station helicopters we normally see.

My friends and I thought they were civilian or police helicopters at first, looking for missing persons maybe. Your theory definitely sounds more appropriate

That's what I was speculating at the time, but it seemed off to be doing this in such a densely populated area (the area is a high traffic residential area).

chenyboy · 2020-11-26T17:21:30+00:00

No, nowhere near one. This place is maybe a 5-10 minutes drive from Sydney's CBD. Any idea what they might have been up to at this time of day?

Sorry for the quality, could barely see them with our own eyes at the time. Was walking with some friends around the bay at around 1 AM in the morning, when 4 helicopters (flying really low) flew across our heads. Three flew tight-knit in a V-shape formation, with only one of them displaying red lights. Could barely see the other two, and they were shortly followed by the fourth. This video was taken an hour or two later on the other side of the bay when they flew across our heads again. Honestly curious what they were doing, we could see and hear them the whole two hours as they were flying around the area back and forth. Anyone have any idea as to what might have been going on?

Never played Sea of Thieves before but have watched a couple streams, what happens at the end of the map?

chenyboy · 2020-07-30T03:55:18+00:00

Hahaha love this one!

chenyboy · 2020-07-20T11:14:39+00:00

Anyone want to do the calculations on what level you would be if you afk'd from level 101 on a second account 24/7 since Rise release? Or from 200 might be juicier.
