We haev a few defibros, and previously we used it to revive someone. But for the past few games they do nothing. Does it only work if you had one on you at the time of death?

Recently picked up a mid range budget gaming laptop on sale last year. HP Victus 15. I've been very happy with it, but I rarely use it. Mostly for trips a few times a year, or when the power is out or something.

The last time I used it was a couple weeks ago. It's been off since, and when I fired it up today it's at 35%. I have 'fast boot' turned off so it's not doing the silly not-hibernation sleep state thing. Are there other settings to turn off? I know batteries aren't perfect but losing 70% power while off over a couple weeks is a bit much

We couldn't find the cursed possession today and I'm wondering if the stack of papers where the monkey paw normally is was covering it up

Our son is almost 18, and one of his main chores is to put the dishes away in the morning before school. His alarm is at 8, to be out the door by 8:45. He usually gets out of bed at 8:40, throws clothing on, and runs for the bus. Furthermore, on weekends/days off, he's not getting out of bed until 2pm sometimes. Yes, he stays up late.

That means the dishes are not put away, and by the time he gets home theres a pile of dishes on the counter.

We tried to counter this by 'incentivizing' him.. If he didn't do them on time, it would cost him. 5 bucks a day, which increases 5 every day he doesnt do it, and decreases every day he does.

It's gotten to a point where it's costing him $200+ a month in these 'fees' and he just mopes and pays it (he has a job, so technically can afford it). But it doesn't seem to actually be getting him to do it. All it does is make him unhappy to pay. We thought 'if you dont want to be unhappy paying, do the thing' would work. It does not.
