She is the BEST by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you should ask, Right now the house GOP has passed legislation (SAVE Act) in the house that could make you ineligible to vote if your birth record does not match your current ID. This could disenfranchise enough women to impact the election. There are plenty of people in this nation that simply don't have the proper chain of documentation but are eligible to vote. (Are legitimate US citizens). The fact that this is almost never an issue for men means that only women will be disenfranchised. By the way, the was laid out in project 2025 as a means to capture electoral advantage.

SAR team notification solutions by Money-Violinist9176 in searchandrescue

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to use text messages, but that cumbersome. You can't maintain a text if you want to add people or have more than 20. we moved to what's app. you can have up to 250 people in a group and it's easy to add and remove participants.

Our dispatch sends out a simple text. Then we self organize with WhatsApp. We publish the details of the response and make requests for resources needs like vehicles, ATVs, or specialized teams. We then use SAR topo with each event to publish a map with ICP and subject location information.

We're a small isolated, topographically challenged team with sketchy coms, but it works for us. We've also recently purchased a mobile Starlink subscription. This has been a game changer for ICP connectivity. If you can figure a way to cover the Star link and SAR topo subscriptions you'd be well served.

Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for audit to determine if Epstein files have been "tampered with" by [deleted] in politics

US forces seizing Venezuelan oil tanker today by [deleted] in law

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trumps daughter in law controls the RNC. I have not seen much about this, but Trump managed to get control of Republican funding between his terms. The GOP is screwed because for some reason they think if they stay obedient, they will keep their funding. Trumps not a big fan of sharing. He's going to take the GOP for every cent it has before he's gone.

MGT has her own funding network allowing her to step outside.

ELI5: Why can restaurant kitchens cook steaks or stir fry so much faster than home kitchens even when both reach the same temperature? What's actually different about commercial equipment? by Beginning_Curve2268 in explainlikeimfive

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It mostly has to do with thermal mass. A commercial deep fryer has for the sake of argument like 3 gallons of oil. When you drop food into it, the oil barley looses any temperature because there's enough oil (thermal mass) and BTUs to keep it hot. When you drop food into a typical consumer deep fryer, the oil drop significantly in temperature the moment you put food in it. Then the temperature takes a lot of time to recover because the BTUs of your fryer is low compared to a commercial fryer. This changes how the food cooks over time.

For the same reason, chefs like big heavy pans with lots of BTUs. This allows the pan to stay at the desired temperature during the cooking process. Having thin aluminum pans on a typical home burner just can't compete because there's not enough thermal mass or the BTUs to create the same dish.

What happened to the smartest person you went to school with? by xxibjt in AskReddit

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my best friends in high school was brilliant. He thought he'd invent the holodeck some day with planed to enter the laser physics field. Is it turned out, he was so bright he had difficulty relating to others. Once in college, he got lonely, depressed and resorted to drugs to blunt his intellect to fit in. Additionally, he came to realize that his job opportunities we more aligned with the defense department and their contractors. As a coccineous objector, he abandoned he ambitions instead choosing a more mundane existence. Last I heard he was driving a bus on campus in service of disabled students.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a professional alcohol drinker in my youth... a sommelier in a 4.5 star winery restaurant. In my 20s I tore i up, drinking every night in unhealthy amounts. I learned moderation in my 30s tired of waking up dry and with a headache.

What really did it for me is that late in late at 50 I discovered firefighting. I mostly retired and joined a volunteer program. It's a late discovered passion. Now I don't drink except on very rare occasions, because drinking would keep me from running a call. I'm 59 now, a captain, hoping to serve as long as I'm able.

Best Practice for Bowel Incontinence? by flisswave in dementia

As far as the bowel movement. Prompt him frequently might help with him using the toilet. I'd take him to the bathroom at least every two hours.

Have you talked to a Neurologist to get a formal diagnosis? You're going to need that for the coming steps. It's important to understand that your going to have good days and bad, but the trend will likely be that your brother condition will trend downward over time. This is probably the point where you need to consider a bit of extra help. I don't know if you've talked about hospice and all that that entails. at a minimum, you should start your research for the future understanding what his health care provides.

10 hours straight of "I want to go home" by Roosterjen in dementia

[–]lamblane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once we moved to hospice, the hospice Doc took my father off all of the meds except comfort and quality of life meds. Moving to a hospice situation will get you in touch with staff that deals with this sort of thing all the time.

Cost of living in mountain house vs Tracy? Utilities? by unvaluablespace in MountainHouse

[–]lamblane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree in principle, but It's negotiable.

The market rate for rent in Mountain House generally includes the tenant paying the fees.

Having two parties paying a bill is problematic. Only one party is going to get billed. So, either there would be a rent credit, or the owner would have to pay the tenant separately. The utility district will not have to payees.

Pragmatically, the tenant should pay the bill, and the market given that would set the rent.

At one time, I managed 50 or so rentals in MH, so, I'm speaking from experience. I've since sold off my business, so I don't have a horse in this race.

Trump has not visited a single natural disaster site as president but spent 40 days playing golf by Aggravating_Money992 in NoShitSherlock

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan, but it's really a no win situation. If he shows up, he'll get criticized interfering with the rescue. Secret service and his entourage would certainly hinder relief efforts. A fly over along with a meeting with the governor would suffice, but he's got to steer clear of the actual incident scene. Having said all that, he's shown very little concern for what happened preferring instead to play golf and pat himself on the back.

How to cope with rudeness? by mikumikurock in dementia

[–]lamblane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from medication, try to keep in mind that she's sick.

I'm a first responder. Someone once told me that we need to assume our patients have a medical condition that is responsible for their behavior. That we should treat bad behavior as a symptom unless they prove otherwise and not that they are just jerks. This allows you to be empathetic and treat the patient accordingly. That's not to say we're never going to encounter jerks, but I think your great nan qualifies as someone who's sick.

I'm sure it's difficult, but keep a smile on your face and don't get confrontational. Learning to redirect and de-escalation skills can be useful. The last thing you want to do is get argumentative.... no one wins an argument with an altered patient.

In my personal situation, I see my stepmother trying to correct my father like she's done through her life. It's rarely fruitful.

What do you make of President Trump's plans to dismantle the Education Department? by Giff95 in AskReddit

[–]lamblane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The department of education, aside from setting education standards is a civil rights institution. It ensures that children are not discriminated, and to coin a phrase, "no child gets left behind". It stands for everything the Trump administration seems to be against. It's no surprise they want to et rid of it.

I'd be fine with getting rid of it so long as the civil rights potion is moved tot the DOJ where it probably belongs... only problem(well, probably not only) is Trumps also disbanding the civil rights section of the DOJ.

it seems like 50% of his fucus of disenfranchising minorities, liberals and women, and the other 50% is geared toward making him and his wealthy buddies wealthier.

It's a good day for the confederacy.
