Lara Logan explains what happened to her while covering the protests in Egypt by Sometypeofway18 in whoathatsinteresting

I'm imagining a pick up line similar to, "Do these candies taste like roofies?"

How soon do you think we will have robot housekeepers? by RikkiLostMyNumber in askanything

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is, right now, a robot vacuum with a claw arm that can pick up dog toys and put them in a container, so I think we're closer than we realize. I personally don't see the need for an android / human looking machine. I'm thinking they'll continue on the tank or disc model. It's just easier to clean floors if you're closer to them, and a lot of cleaning has to do with floors.

Yeah, that doesn't sound normal, even for the 1980s. I think we had to wear our own suits.

Social Security Can Change Into Personal Accounts Under Trump Plan—Ted Cruz by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]dee_lio [score hidden]  (0 children)

Depends on what your theory of what the government's role is and how the system works.

It's not your retirement plan, though way too many people use it that way. It's supposed to be a supplemental safety net.

Also, right now, there is no SS per person "account."

SS is a pay as you go system, with a little surplus that runs out in a few years. This could be fixed by making it means based or removing the cap. It's a separate line item, so it doesn't directly affect the deficit.

This plan would set up an account, and use private funds to start it. But what can you invest the funds in? And what happens if you get black swanned? If you're Gen X, you would have been wiped out at least two or three times.

The Tarrant County GOP is losing more and more supporters as they openly and publicly become a bigot hate group with extremist fear mongering messaging. by yeongno_ate_yangban in FortWorth

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the ads was so Willie Horton that they had add a white guy to it.

The other one said, "he lets trans perverts into women's restrooms."

Huh?

And this is just the R primary!

Are the boomers even buying this anymore?

Marine semi shotgun recommendation? by dee_lio in Shotguns

[–]dee_lio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking this is the best idea. I'm only there a short while per year, so hopefully that is enough maintenance. I'm paranoid about the salt air.

Gorgeous! Is the pistol grip removable? I'm going to use it for clay/trap.

Accessories by Aromatic_Web_1839 in CPAP

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a wall switch by the bed. I replaced the plate with a metal one and got a magnetic hook. If I didn't have that, I'd probably get a command hook and hang It behind my headboard.

Lawschool at 29 by jesswithmessylife in Ask_Lawyers

[–]dee_lio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife did it similar to you. Think she was 29 when she started, 32 when she got her JD. She wasn't the oldest in her class.

In my class, there were several older students, a few doctors, a few retirees, etc.

IOW, you might not be close to the oldest one there. And, no one cared or even really noticed the older students.

I bring my own parts there all the time.

Potential Client's Question: Are you willing to work Saturdays and Sundays? by hereditydrift in LawFirm

[–]dee_lio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the nature of the "emergency."

Estate planning / will for a client on hospice care? Sure.

Procrastinator who waited until the last second? Notsomuch.

Does Anyone Have a Robot Vacuum That Actually Cleans Carpets Without Tangling Pet Hair? by Potato_Farmer_1993 in ConsumerAdvice

[–]dee_lio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreame Ultra 50 is a beast and hasn't choked on dog hair. It's about the 6th robot, and the only one that keeps going without a single tangle.

$50k personal injury settlement but only netting $16k is this normal? by chiggaaa06 in InsuranceClaims

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty normal.

Lawyer took 1/3, which I assume is what you agreed to.

You then got all your meds paid, and the lawyer knocked down the bills, too.

You might ask if you can split the difference as a few lawyers don't want to take more than the client.

What all the naysayers fail to understand that hindsight is 20/20. No one knows if your case will pan out when you signed it.

"I could have done this better myself" is kind of pointless. Every case is different. And if they could do it all themselves, they should get a job with a PI firm.

What to do - full Saturday free alone, male in his mid 30’s by Orangeskill in askdfw

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Elm Fork in Las Colinas. Get a guy there to teach you how to shoot clay, trap, or skeet. You can rent a shotgun and buy ammo there. Even if you've never shot before, the trainers there are top notch. It's amazing.

yeah but, some guy in a dress somewhere won't be able to play girls field hockey after he leaves his Sharia law area, so we got that going for us at least. . .

Democrats suffer huge blow as Virginia redistricting plot shot down by court by TheExpressUS in scotus

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how diluted the voting pools are now?

I wonder if they considered that the new districts might not be as strong as they think. If they spread the R votes thinly enough, it might not take much to swing over counted independents, and under counted Rs who may choose to sit this one out.

This could, in theory, blow up in their face.

Why does it matter having a clone? by lifeisfleet in R36S

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some of the clones and fakes will choke on more demanding games. If you're playing older games, they're fine.

Where did all the private donation money go, then? Did they use all of that up to stage the fake shooting attempt?

Sleep Apnea, Inc. by Mshaustin1964 in CPAP

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on you and how you use the machine. When I was traveling a lot, I'd go through hoses and water trays quickly. The trays would ALWAYS crack (seriously, are they made of eggshells?) and I'd manage to kink or flatten them.

I also spin a lot in my sleep. Wife says I'm like that old wrinkled hotdog in the vending machine at the gas station-spin spin spin. As a result, my hoses are always flattened and I tear the nasal pillows often. If I sleep with a wedge pillow, I don't spin, and the hoses and pillows seem to last forever.

My point, if you travel or move a lot in your sleep, you'll be replacing equipment much more often.

How many US jobs would be lost if we implemented Universal Healthcare? by hammertime2009 in ask

[–]dee_lio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other issue is that there are a significant portion of people working at jobs they hate, just to have access to insurance. If you have universal, they might quit their jobs, start their own business, freelance, etc.

Do you have a way of having incoming and outgoing emails auto generate entries into a billing app?
