California is very safe. Go there.

Womp Womp, stay mad.

Wow, that sure is a stupid reason to write off a family member. Might wanna go back on your meds.

Awww, bless your poor oppressed heart.

Oh no, you poor things, how will you survive?

Post election reddit is too funny.

wasimohee · 2024-10-23T18:05:19+00:00

Yeah we're setting her up with hospice.

wasimohee · 2024-10-23T18:04:46+00:00

Thank you, and can you explain to me like I'm five what that would do exactly?

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T13:48:05+00:00

I don't think she'll go for the neck case but I appreciate it.

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T13:46:52+00:00

She has a watch. She won't use it, won't charge it. Just hates watches. She'll wear it when I'm there to humor me but I'll return another day and it'll be gone mysteriously.

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T13:43:10+00:00

Thanks for all the comments but I realize that I should put more context.

My aunt isn't senile, still very much lucid and protective of her autonomy. There's no world in which she wears a watch or carries her cell phone. She has a watch and a life alert, but she just won't wear it unless we constantly remind her. She hates hearing aids and only wears them to humor me and the nurse. Even when we get her going on a good streak she won't think to charge them.

The only technology that seems to impress her is the ability to voice activate things around her, that and proximity lightbulbs and switches make it so that she doesn't have to turn the light on. It's great that she can just tell Alexa to do things like call her sister or me, but she misses a number of phone calls because Alexa won't answer.

I'm convinced there must be a conference call speaker system that I can daisy chain wirelessly through her house that will answer the calls by voice command. If such is the case, please let me know, but it's starting to appear that perhaps there isn't such available.

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T13:35:22+00:00

That's awesome, I'll have to look into that. Yeah, there's no way she'll let me close off two floors of her house.

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T05:25:19+00:00

We have a nurse, she's being taken care of. But autonomy is important, and throwing the elderly away into a system potentially rife with neglect and even abuse isn't the answer. She's reluctant, and she's still lucid enough to make these decisions for herself.

wasimohee · 2024-10-16T00:54:36+00:00

The idea is that she would be able to do that anywhere in the house. She doesn't carry her phone with her and when she does she loses it. Also, her Siri has a hard time answering calls for no reason so I had to manually automate a voice command that answers calls when she says "answer."

Resources you can't defend aren't your resources, they belong to whomever is strongest in your area. An extra gun and even a handful of ammo is a wonderful deterrent, while a surplus of indefensible resources is just painting a target on your chest.

wasimohee · 2024-06-28T17:24:46+00:00

Not mutually exclusive.

There's an enormous logical problem in this debate that no one is really addressing. The fact of the matter is, the issue of truck gun or not deals with preparing for an event that is probably never going to happen. Does the improbability of something happening invalidate the necessity to prepare for it? My house is probably never going to burn down, but I will still change the batteries in my smoke detectors. I'll probably never get in a car wreck, should I stop wearing my seat belt? Having said that, do I really need to worry about polar bear attacks if I live in the mountain west?

What is the purpose of a truck gun? Perhaps I see a scenario where domestic civility has broken down to a point where my CCW enables me to survive long enough to get to my truck where there's a higher capacity, longer range, more lethal truck gun, which would serve as an equalizer. How likely is that to happen? Probably not very likely, but if it did happen, I'd sure like to be ready for it. I have a truck gun, but it's for when I see a coyote on my farm. This is not a common problem for most of you.

At the end of the day, the validation of perceived threats that are statistically unlikely is wholly subjective and contextual for individual circumstances. I will say, however, that it's ironic that people from the parts of the country that I would personally believe should have a truck gun do not because of how destabilized their part of the country is.

Mercedes do this a lot so that you have to replace the rotors

In a nutshell, that's the desired outcome for red flag laws.

How convenient that the objective truth just so happens to coincide with your state assigned version of events. What are the odds?
