Montreal shopping mall plays “Baby Shark” on repeat to prevent unhoused people from loittering
  • Fairly common for older houses.

    I'll be selling mine "as is where is" in a few months. Nothing wrong with it, just don't want the liability. Buyers will have an inspection and then make a decision on whether or not to buy it from that report.

    Bought for $80k, put a ton of work into it, and will be selling for ~$250k, stair stepping into what we really want. (Also, USA, not Canada)

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades
  • We shall see. ProtonVPN has some handy features that make it beneficial for me to route all traffic through.

    A local university sells surplused towers for $40, so my last resort is to get ime of those and only run plex on that computer and not have a VPN on that one.

  • I paid for a lifetime subscription 6 years ago... would definitely say I got my $80 worth.

    Only complaint is that the streaming my own media files doesnt work great with my VPN, but I so rarely need that, so I havent spent much effort trying to figure it out. It's on my list of things to do though.

  • As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • If you don't mind me asking, what are your disabilities?

    What do you enjoy?

    What education do you have?

    What state/general region do you live in?

    If you're willing to answer some/all ofthose, I can start providing some more specific answers than you've gotten.

    Biggest thing though is going to be to realize that you are likely still able to provide for yourself well, no matter who is president. And, hyperbole is not super healthy to internalize.

  • Cops shouldn't count as emergency services.
  • It depends.

    A lot of FDs run the ambulance, a lot don't.

    In my area ambulance is seperate from fire, but fire crew responds to lift assists and certain other calls where we may need a driver or another set of hands for CPR. Some departments respond with a pickup/brush rig, and other respond with the full engine, just depends on manning.

    St Louis City is one FD I am aware of that runs their own ambulance.

  • why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?
  • It's a personally owned light, not medical equipment. And, I also can use it on moonlight mode to check pupils, works better than the lights we are given.

    And, why carry a big light if a small light can do the trick? I have a bigger light (noctigon K1) with a 1 mile throw, I can't lug that around in my pocket.

    I mechanically lock out the light in my pocket so it doesnt accidentally get turned on. It's my choice to carry a light with those capabilities, it's also not that dangerous...

  • Has anyone experienced a spinal disc bulge, hernia, and/or or stenosis/radiculopathy and how long did it take to recover?
  • Got two bulging discs 5 years ago (L4/L5). Have impingement on my femoral and syatic nerves.

    I ride a desk for work and do hobby farming to stay active outside of work, and work part time as a first responder (EMS)

    I have a cane for bad days, and meloxicam for really bad days/weeks.

    Doing CPR sucks, running sucks, basically most excersises suck. I can't pick up my kids as much as I'd like, and I am having a hard time convincing my wife to let me try bull riding... doing to much gives me nerve shocks down both legs from by butt down to my heels.

    But, I push through and try to stay active.

    I've done physical therapy twice, both times made it worse. Tried a chiropractor, each visit would give me about 45-60 minutes of relief after the procedure.

    Long car rides are about the worst. I'll be bent over almost double getting out. During isn't bad, it's the straitening out afterwards.

  • How does car insurance on multiple vehicles work (USA)
  • It's about $80/month each for me. I'll usually keep two deactivated while they are parked in the barn. I'll have two active, and the other two are either waiting for me to repair them, or waiting till the other two break down. Sucked that one time I had three down at the same time...
