Please stop driving a car with a dog on your lap!

I just witnessed an Escalade swerve and hit a wall with the drivers airbag deploying squishing the dog on the owners chest. It was a big ass labradoodle!!

The driver is distraught and blaming the dog for stopping her being able to turn back away from the wall after it blocked her vision which caused the swerve in the first place.

The car is badly damaged.

The owner thinks she has a cracked rib and had a bust lip and nose.

The dog is likely going to die as it is not breathing well.

100% avoidable and 100% unnecessary all because a driver couldn't regulate their emotions enough to strap a dog into a seat or in the trunk if you have an SUV.

Poor dog....

I posted a spreadsheet that I use a few days ago and got a few DM's with suggestions to improve it (thank you!!).

During the conversations I mentioned I use AI a lot and automate almost everything I can. This includes quotes, invoices, expenses, job scopes etc.

We seem to get some coding bro with the latest wonder app that will solve all of our problems every other day. The sub seems to be a massive pitch-fest of the latest unproven tool that promises to solve all of your problems but you have to pay for it.

I do everything using Google Gemini that these apps can do.

If I spent the time creating a few videos on how to do this with Gemini or Chat GPT, would it be helpful?

I have nothing to sell.

I don't want an email.

It will be a few video links that are free to access, probably Youtube.

I just want to help the solopreneur handyman make more money and spend more time with family and less time working on the soul destroying tasks like preparing quotes, invoices, tracking expenses etc.

I can give you the knowledge to automate all of this within a couple of hours.

Let me know if there is some interest.

We are looking at high schools for 2027/28 and from a few conversations online, CCSD has gotten it's hooks more and more into Charter and Magnet schools.

Our oldest attended John Bonner for 6 weeks as it was not a pleasurable experience for a 5 year old.

The staff were very rigid on their teaching and methods, they used things like behavior charts and awarded "treasure" on Friday for the "good" children.

Threatened to suspend my son if he and his friends didn't stop (consensually) play fighting at recess, called us to discuss my son not being able to sit still all day, his teacher asking me to tell my son to stop fiddling with his t-shirt collar when she was teaching, forcing children on the class matt to sit a certain way for 30 mins.

Everything possible to make a typical 5 year old boy hate education and school.

My son went from hyper-excitement on day one to "I have a sore head and can't go to school" by week three! We had 3 meetings with the Principal and teachers and it was clear nothing would change, so we removed him from the school. It was a truly awful, awful experience that we don't want to repeat.

We currently have our children in a private school, which is stretching us financially so a free school would be a lifeline for 8th grade forward.

How much are the CCSD problems present in magnet and charter schools?

I’d like to get some outside perspectives on something unusual we caught. This happened in Las Vegas during DEF CON(hacking conference), so I fully appreciate there’s a chance we’re all just seeing “hacker behaviour” where there may be none. 😄

A man entered one of our building’s elevators carrying a backpack. Once inside:
● He removed a small electronic device with several wires attached
● He then put on a fanny pack
● He stood very close to the elevator control panel for ~20–30 seconds
● After that, he left without any further interaction
● He appeared fully focused on the control panel

The behaviour wasnt normal waiting and he left immediately after finishing

We had our maintenance team review the elevator afterwards, but they didn’t find anything obvious. That said, they are general facilities staff rather than elevator or embedded systems specialist

I want to be very clear: I’m NOT looking for exploit methods or “how-to” guidance.

I’m just interested in ideas from people with experience in:
● Physical security
● RF systems
● Embedded hardware
● Access control systems

Questions for the experts in this sub....
If you saw this on CCTV, what would your initial interpretation be?

Some possibilities we’ve considered:
● RFID/NFC reader interaction or testing
● RF scanning or reconnaissance
● Attempting to identify installed systems or hardware
● Accessing a maintenance or diagnostic interface
● Something unrelated we haven’t considered
● Or just DEF CON paranoia influencing perception 😅

Investigation perspective
If you were tasked with following up on this, what would you look at?
● System or access logs
● Elevator control hardware inspection
● RF environment analysis
● Maintenance or diagnostic records
● Any other indicators of interaction or tampering

Would really appreciate thoughts from anyone with relevant experience. Trying to separate “interesting behaviour” from “actually meaningful signal” here.
Thanks in advance.

I live in Las Vegas and it is hotter than a stripper convention. My AC is also bust!

Today was 112F and my car is like a nuclear reactor when I get in it due to being in the sun all day. It is time.... I need to put some window tint on to block the heat while I find enough money to get the AC fixed.

I have a budget of around $50 as my wife is not working due to a lay-off and kids off school, so I need to be sensible with the pennies.

I am going to do it myself but have no idea what films ACTUALLY work to reduce the heat.

I want the front side windows to be very lightly tinted or not at all (70%) and the rear windows around 35%.

So I am open to recommendations. What specific brands or Amazon specials actually made a real difference?

Howdy,

So I have seen a ton of posts about how to run a business and keep track of finances, tasks etc.

Here is my Google Sheet to share.

No charge.

No catch.

Enjoy....

p.s. You will have to save a copy as I dont want everybody else's data in my Sheet 😄

What options are there for hunting with a .22 caliber rifle within an hour of Las Vegas?

Coyote isn't ethical, but my son wants to start hunting and I want to start with smaller animals such as rabbits.

Looking to start hunting with my 12 yo. We have a .22 rifle, scope and a shotgun. We are in Las Vegas looking to get some Coyotes.

Where would recommend to find them within an hour of Vegas?

What additional equipment would you recommend?

Is it worth trapping them or just calling them in at night?

I am feeling very drawn to Christianity, I believe in god and want to live a biblical life and raise my children with those values.

However, my wife was raised Catholic and hated it, she still hates religion.... a lot!

I am worried about how I put her mind at ease and get her to at least let me raise our children biblically.

Any thoughts or helpful advice would be very much appreciated.

I want to mount this in the bedroom closet but I have children. A safe is just not practical.

This would be for both tactical shotguns and normal pump actions.

Any suggestions?
