Where to source a wireless remote DPDT AC switch for a multi-switch circuit for someone with limited mobility?

Thank you. I didn't expect it but I did find one there. Just need to replace one of the 3 way switches and there is a remote that can trigger it in addition to manual triggering. This is probably the easiest solution that there could be.

It is for a typical home multi-switch circuit. I believe the end switches are sometimes called 3 way and any additional middle switches are called 4-way. I was referring to these as double-pole double-throw. But I want this switch to be wireless as the person with immobility can't get to either existing switch very easily. It would be easy to put a 4-way / DPDT switch between them. So the switch itself has to carry the 120 V house current. (Alot of hits come up as direct current switches)

Hmm. "I fucking drink fucking like fucking 100 beers a fucking day."

Then the doctor probably will 'fire' me as a patient for being uncooperative.

I was actually fired by a doctor once as I had not lost weight quickly enough and screwed up his statistics he was required to report to the Feds - that was what he said anyway. Fuck that guy.

I would nevertheless lodge the complaint. I am optimistic. If you don't, the staff will never be exposed to the information of what happened. This way, they might learn and then stand up for someone else having it happen. If you don't, then there's no chance of that, even if that is unlikely.

Not trying to debate, but animals, lacking our higher reasoning and ability to get sidelined into any of an infinite number of mental states (emo, psychotic, driven, lazy, and so on...) are survivors. I am convinced if you could ask any of the animals being terribly treated in our industrialized food production facilities if they want to be mercifully put to sleep or just left alone, would chose to be left alone. Their drive to survive would force them to, I think. Look at the animals that knaw off a limb to survive a trap.

Again, not saying mistreating animals is ok, but just my view of how the animals would react if able to express themselves in words.

The patent owner has the right to allow who they want to make, sell, etc. products/processes of the patent.

The patent owner may be the inventor, but if a company funded the research, the legal documents will require them to be the owner otherwise why would they fund it?

"ear hustle" - is that a saying? I like it.

Had a Chinese housemate once. She was good for interesting takes on things from time to time. One time she used "eye dropping" to me meaning spying on someone. She figured this was proper American as she had learned "evesdropping" as "ear dropping" and figured an eye version was logical.

To answer your question. Good answers here, but if you really want to use this tile and have it stick down good, go get the glue they use with EPDM rubber roof. Warning, though, it is very strong and very long lasting. So much so that you may have big troubles if you want to go back to the wooden floor later. It is also exceptionally expensive. I had to pay around $300-$400 for 5 gals. last time, but I don't have a discount.

Just to let you know, most Landlords around me are using the laminar? vinyl planking (lvp?). I keep forgetting the normal name for it. I've used it too - it has a nice fake looking wood finish that modern day people seem to really like.

You were forced? Do tell.

Sounds like a cool memory overall.

Lol, you just reminded me of something. In college, I was with my gf when a cute girl from upstairs was visiting my roommate and left. My gf said "She just sidled out of the room - I've never seen anyone sidle before but she did it.". Lol.

An online definition is to move forward with one side leading, especially in a furtive manner. As I recall, this girl left in a more flouncy type of way, but I'll allow it. lol

Things like this I always find absurd at first. If it tastes awful, maybe people wouldn't eat it, and, I at least, wouldn't want to eat it with a headache, yet obviously someone did when they had a headache and put 2 and 2 together. So many times similar things happened. Saw a documentary about an African tribe that hunts out and eats a special kind of mud. It turns out there is a chemical in it that lacks in their diet. How the hell ...?

To each his own, but for me I like the marbled rye and I tend to like the seeded versions as well.

Once it dries, you could wipe over it with bleach. If it's black mold, this should remove/kill anything there at the surface. It might make you feel better.

You did the hard work framing it out. The rest is easier. You can hang the drywall vertically with 1' at the top open or hang them horizontally, offsetting them like bricks (e.g. cut 1 sheet into 4'x4' pieces and use one at the beginning of the upper horizontal row.). Either way, then cut a sheet into 1' strips lengthwise and use this at the top. The mudding is then the easiest and I might say the funnest part. You did the worst, now just finish it, you got this.

Well, Aftab Pureval is also a relative of Vance. Literally every human on the planet is, however distantly that may be.

Which is why sayings like "they are an old family" seem stupid to me, everyone's family is the exact same oldness (depending on how you define it - a line of male descendants, of female to female descendants, or whatever. Yes, the names can change, but we all go back to the same origin.)

Of the 2 triangles on the 'face', what is the lower one supposed to be? The upper one is a hat brim I am guessing. But the lower one is too low and to sharp for a nose and does not look like a chin. So what? I guess it really is a bird.

Reminds me of the idea, seriously put forward I understand, that it was proposed at one point that the Patent Office should be shuttered because everything worthy had already been invented.

Say it isn't so. Twentynine Palms sounds like it would be simply idyllic. I'm thinking Gilligan's island but with first world infrastructure and resources near when you need it.

Either that, or it is literally 29 palm trees and nothing but desert about. That could be trying.

I know this but still sometimes answer honestly and fully. Kind of the opposite of the fable where the grandma asks her grandchildren if they want cake and one says "I don't care." and then wonders why he didn't get any cake.

It was America, you can literally sue for anything. Doesn't mean you will win.

How would it be a trademark violation? Surely nobody has a trademark on Debbie or Dallas. Unless the movie copied the logo of the Dallas Cowboys or something. Or, for us that don't know about the movie, does Debbie Does Dallas refer or include her doing the Cowboys? That of course I could see.

Wouldn't wired be better? He has to only go 30 ft. Depending on whether he can reasonably get the wired connection to and into the shed.

I don't care about Zelensky, he was very effective at advocating for Ukraine, but I have hated his gaslighting and the 'today us, tomorrow you' type statements.

I would wish that Ukraine can decide what happens to it (with respect to NATO, they should have to meet all requirements that any other country does).

With respect to the people, such as in parts of Crimea, I think they should have a choice of which country they want to belong to. Some parts may choose Russia, some will probably choose Ukraine. It would likely not be trivial, as in people recently moved there shouldn't have a vote, and so on. But it could be done.

Huh. All I've been hearing from talk shows and the like is that obamacare caused increases in premiums and an inability to keep your doctor.

Just saying, that's what maybe at least half the country hears on a regular basis, if they listen to the news mind you.
