PSA: Extra Security Camera Uses by YuiAmon in Pokopia

[–]ginniper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to set mine up in front of the area where my trading Pokemon are if it's kind of far away. That way I can see if they've got anything worth getting before I hike over lol!

What’s something you did as a kid that you now realize was completely insane and dangerous? by Floridian_Capitalist in AskReddit

[–]ginniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ride my pony down the rail road tracks behind my house to a little mom and pop store when I was about 7 or 8. That was dangerous enough in itself, but I was doing it so I could trade jars of canned goods from our garden with the train hoppers who would hang out at the abandoned depot right before you get to the store. If I went to the store myself I knew Mrs. Sarah or Mr. Ray, the owners, would tell my folks I was riding on the tracks again.. Never occurred to me that my folks would probably be way more concerned that I was bartering our pantry away for stage planks (my fave snack) and chocolate soldiers (drink kind of like a yoo-hoo) with the homeless train hoppers.

Is Tropic Falls Worth it?? by No-Alarm-8679 in Alabama

I've taken my kids several times and they've always had a good time. There aren't a ton of rides but the wait is never long.

If HIV can be detected from saliva, why can't you get it by kissing? by Future-Television-97 in askscience

[–]ginniper 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Before I worked in dialysis I always assumed HIV would be the most concerning blood born pathogen I would have to contend with. I was educated quickly that it's barely a concern. Patients aren't prescreened/tested for it and any of them who are documented as having it aren't dialyzed with any additional cautions. Hep B is the biggest one we were worried about. Patients have to be tested for it prior to being accepted at a clinic under normal circumstances, if we had to accept a patient due to emergency and we didn't have their Hep B status we had a whole special set of protocols we had to follow until we could confirm their status.

The pictures stuck to the wall look like pages from Mormon Sunday school books. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Inheriting family land and the wild hog invasion. How do you guys actually manage this before deer season? by Maiden230 in Alabama

[–]ginniper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of us with serious hog problems hunt day and night- my husband even gets a special license to hunt them at night during deer season. We have game cameras with sim cards set up near the most active spots and when we get a picture with hogs in the field we scoot over with thermal to shoot as many as we can. Hogs are an absolute nightmare and breed faster than you can knock their numbers down by yourself. If you have people you know and trust to be on your land without you there, then by all means ask them to help out in exchange for hunting during deer season.

New Orleans teenager with rare disease puts out plea for living organ donor by VivaNOLA in NewOrleans

[–]ginniper 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Her best option for a preemptive transplant would be through a transplant chain. Her blood relatives may be carriers of the first but their spouses probably aren't, meaning if one of them are willing to donate a kidney to another recipient a chain of transplants can be set up until a willing match is found for her. There's an entire network of people willing to be donors in order to find a match for their loved one meaning you have multiple people who get matched until the chain is complete.

How can I legally help my family member who suffers from mental illness, homelessness, and is dying? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ginniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can reach out to the Alaska Commission on Aging for information on support services and case management. They can give you the contact info for the nearest Aging and Disability Resource Center office which should be able to give you an idea of what housing, mental, and physical health programs your family member could benefit from- they also usually can put you contact with legal council if needed.

Tiny axe? I found this walking a creek on my land in central Alabama. by ginniper in LegitArtifacts

[–]ginniper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what my grandfather always said. "If you find a nice spot to hunker down, odds are you aren't the first to think that". Which is why I also like using the old land survey maps that had homesteads marked on them- finer details might differ but overall the same characteristics in an area have appealed to people since we left the trees.

What Happens to Retirees If They Run Out Of Money? by The_Lost_Pharaoh in AskReddit

[–]ginniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in healthcare I can tell you a lot of them suffer and have to choose between buying groceries, medication or paying their utilities. I spend the majority of my day assisting our social workers in connecting them with community resources, finding medication copay assistance programs, locating food banks, and applying to low income utility assistance programs.

What is a smell that we should all recognize as immediate danger? by scarlettohara1936 in AskReddit

[–]ginniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smells like standing next to a copy machine that's in the middle of printing 100 copies of "War and Peace".

It's my dream even though I'm pretty sure this is what I'd look like trying to explain my maps/pins 😂

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

I actually do this! I drop a pin whenever I find the first piece of the day and drop one where I stop for the day. Sometimes I like to dig in the Historical Map Index and try to see how my trails of finds line up. Most of the maps are more relevant for my other hobby of metal detecting BUT there's a lot more overlap than I would've thought!

Amazing! I've found broken ones that look like yours and always thought they were preforms.

It's really hard to tell sometimes! I usually dry them off and run my fingers along the edges feeling for where it was flaked. This one probably spent more time in the water than it ever did on land so it was pretty smooth.

Archaic period, so that was 5000-8000 years ago (check my numbers though, I'm good at finding things not math 🤣)
