    Putting aside whether it's normal for you to be experiencing aging so early*, you should still see another PCP because they didn't manage your actual concern: "I am experiencing issues functioning day to day life, and would like a plan to manage this".

    It would have been one thing if the doctor had said "yup, just you, so let's get you into an assisted living arrangement now", or "I'm fairly certain this is just your shitty genes, but to rule out anything else, let's send you for X tests and see the Y specialist".

    From your post, it doesn't sound like that was the case.

    And that's only if your area has actual regulations on what free range even means.

    For reference, here in Australia:

    Under the law, eggs labelled as 'free range' must come from hens that are able to roam and forage outdoors for at least eight hours each day. The maximum outdoor stocking density for free range egg farming is 10,000 hens per hectare of land or one hen per square metre.

    That is awful! I buy a brand that has 40 per hectare, they have portable sheds that gets rotated across the property, and the hens get guard dogs to protect them as they roam.

    HSV infection of infants leading to death is a real thing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8284346/

    There are many things adults should and should not do in the early years of a child's life to set them up for success in the future... including not inoculating their mouths with decay causing bacteria (common pathway is testing food temp on a spoon, then using the same spoon in the baby's mouth).

    I'm in healthcare, and often work with children. It doesn't matter if they do or don't understand something, they don't have the emotional regulation to continue with something uncomfortable.

    I don't blame parents wanting to increase the sleepiness of a child prior to something like a long plane trip.

    8+ is the age I see the majority of children being able to grin and bear it, and to be reasoned with.

    When you say you printed IEMs and ear protection, are you able to elaborate?

    In my case I've only just gotten into FDM, and I'm having a lot more fun with it than my resin printer, but I might have made enough things for the resin printer that might make that a lot less of a chore.

    So far, the FDM has been handy with quite a few functional prints around the house (certainly not yet enough that I can say it's cheaper than just buying the items outright, but we're getting close!), and that's been an enjoyable process.

    I think you missed the point.

    OP thinks their life isn't impacted by politics. Other users are telling them their whole life is controlled by politics, and installing a dictator can have significant flow on effects on day to day life. They've already said they aren't well off, so economic turmoil can mean their father has to exit retirement, amongst other possibilities.

    That, and it's so very conservative to only care when something affects oneself directly... (The OP, that is)

    Keep the Harley.

    This is a common discussion for folks who have decided on a Honda Rebel, but can't decide 300, 500, or 1100. 300 is no or very low highway riding, it can do it but it's not enjoyable. 500 is for some highway riding, still a bit light and you can feel windswept, but good economy. 1100 much more planted and powerful and very capable of long trips, but a lot more expensive.

    Any particular reason you want to change? If it's just to ride a different style of bike, is it in your finances to get a used mt03 to putt around in, then sell once you've had your fun?

    Just a matter of faster charging, takes me maybe 5-10 minutes to fill up and pay, would take a lot longer for an EV. Certainly not an issue if every accommodation had charging points, as I'd then be unlikely to need a full charge during the day.

    And yes, for regular day to day driving I would just charge at home, as I'm fortunate to have a garage. Not the case for many folks, sadly.

    Definitely great news, and it's looking good that my next car will be an EV.

    Haha I had to go digging.

    So it is mentioned in an Australian page about the costs of Tobacco in Australia:

    https://www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-17-economics/17-2-the-costs-of-smoking#17.2.6

    A report commissioned by the tobacco company Philip Morris, when the Czech government proposed raising cigarettes taxes in 1999, concluded that the effect of smoking on the public finance balance in the Czech Republic in 1999 was positive, an estimated net benefit of 5,815 million CZK (Czech koruny), or about US$298 million. 77 The analysis included taxes on tobacco, and health care and pension savings because of smokers’ premature death, as economic benefits of smoking, and these benefits exceeded the negative financial effects of smoking, such as increased health care costs. The report created a furore; public health advocates found the explicit assumption that premature death is beneficial morally repugnant. The controversy was described by the journalist Chana Joffe-Walt on the radio program This American Life,78 and was reported in the British Medical Journal.79 According to This American Life, Philip Morris distanced itself from the report in response to the controversy, banning its employees from citing the findings. In fact, the report’s claim that smoking was beneficial relies on its inclusion of taxes as a benefit, not any savings due to smokers’ premature deaths80 Costs associated with smoking while the smoker was still alive totalled 15,647 million CZK, 13 times more than the ‘benefits’ associated with early death. The net benefit reported in the analysis arose because the tobacco tax revenue of 20,269 million CZK was regarded as a benefit. As detailed in Section 17.1.1, taxes are not an economic cost (or benefit); they are a transfer payment. The recipient (the government) gets richer, while the taxpayer gets poorer.

    So darkly amusingly it has actually been reported before, but in the Czech Republic.

    Opening Garage Door Options

    I figure I might as well post some stuff to the Fediverse. I have a Meross MSG100 to add "smart" connectivity to my otherwise dumb powered garage door. To my pleasant surprise, Meross can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings, and you can set a routine for when you arrive within a certain radius of home (100m is the smallest), it can then open the garage door. It can even be set to note if you've been gone long enough (I have mine set to 10 minutes). For more precise location detection, you have to do a little finangling to get it to be hooked up to the Modes and Routines app where you can then also set a location setting that includes connecting to your home wifi. The finangling involves setting up a virtual switch in SmartThings (as garage door openers aren't "supported" by M&R, but a switch is), and having a routine in ST linking the switch's state to the garage door. If you don't have ST Labs (only available in USA and KR), then you can make a virtual switch using Samsung's own web ui: https://my.smartthings.com/advanced/devices Anyway, we tested it this afternoon and it worked fine. For those without a Samsung phone, this will be a lot harder to set up (if not impossible). My backup options were: 1. Getting my Cardo set up (whenever it arrives) and yelling Hey Google open the garage door, waiting for it to go 'sure, what's your pin', and yelling that at it... from like two roundabouts away from home. 2. Buying and installing a Riders Magic Touch 3. Buying and installing a Mo-Door 4. Buying and installing the Garage Door Opener from Vizi-Tec (hooks up to brake line), apparently you do a zip-zip-zip-braaake on your brake and it activates it? 5. Taking apart a garage remote and making my own version of any of the above, including like the FlashToPass/FlashToOpen (they don't exist anymore sadly) which activated when you flashed your high beams 6. Tucking a remote into my tank bag and smashing the shit out of it 7. Do what I've been doing which was stopping, glove off, open jacket pocket, fish out remote and press button, shove it back into pocket, glove back on, roll into garage Anyone got any other unique ways of managing their garage door whilst on the motorcycle?
