Despite surging demand for long-term care, providers struggle to find workers
  • Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.

    With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won't.

  • I bought a set of keys for the most common ones, and when I run across paper towel dispensers that spit out the shortest length of paper with the longest delay, I pop them open and flip the switches to give the longest length of paper and shortest delay. And fix jams and misfeeds as well if I run across them.

  • Crow Making a Noise I Have Not Heard Before

    Crows on my pergola talking. I have not heard the click-cooing sound form a crow before.

    Chatty Crows 03

    I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?

    I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.
  • I learned my lesson about 'lifetime' updates with a Tom Tom GPS unit, from the late '90s, maybe early 2000s. After about 4 or 5 years I couldn't install the latest map updates, so I contacted CS. They said, "Oh yeah, lifetime means the time of the expected life of the unit, which is 4.5 years. We don't support that model anymore. Any other questions?"

    Milwaukee Packout 20in Deep Organizer 3D Printed Bins - Finally Done!

    I have previously duplicated the Milwaukee Low-Profile Organizer bins, (as well as designed modified ones) and the regular height organizer bins and posted them on Printables and Thingiverse, and I was asked to design printable bins for the new deep organizer.

    They don't have bins, so that allowed me the freedom to design them, and not just duplicate the existing ones. It also was a pain in the ass, because I had to buy new measuring tools to measure some of the weird inside angles of the deep pockets. But after a couple of tries (10 iterations for the corner pieces) they are all done.

    Do you sit at a desk and keyboard for multiple hours? If yes, please recommend a good chair.
  • I've been sitting in the same Steelcase Leap V2 for 8 years at work and it is still comfortable. I love it. When my current chair at home dies (it's good, but not "Steelcase" good) I'm biting the bullet and getting the Leap V2 at home as well.

  • You mean Aunt Bunny?

    She can't walk down a flight of stairs...

    But I bet she can climb the fuck out of a tree!

    I haven't heard that routine in 20 years at least, but I listened to that cassette tape for months on end.

  • I Duplicated the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile and Regular Organizer Bins - And Added Divided Rectangular Bins As Well

    I bought the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile Organizer, and loved everything about it - except the rectangular bin. The fact that it was divided into three sections bothered me, and the fact that it couldn't be divided along the long axis also bothered me, so I modeled it and duplicated it. I wanted my model to be indistinguishable from the original, so instead of just making something that would work, but look out of place, I tried to make something that just blended in and disappeared.

    So, I duplicated the rectangular bin, but also moved the separator slots around so that it could be divided into four sections along the short axis, and also be divided in half along the long axis. That meant that it could be divided in a bunch of crazy ways as well, so I modeled a bunch of different dividers for it.

    I also modeled the square bin as well, just in case I wanted "spares" that could hold additional stuff that could be swapped out without having to dump stuff from one bin to another. My bin is completely compatible with the Milwaukee bins. They stack on each other, the separator I made fits in the Milwaukee bin, and the Milwaukee separator fits in my bin.

    Chatty Crow That Comes By Occasionally

    We've got a few crows that come by for the occasional food we put out, and one really likes to chitter.

    We sometimes feed the local crows - and the occasional Raven as well - and this crow really likes to chitter for a bit before coming down and getting some food.

  • I don't know exactly how it is implemented, but if I had to guess, it is probably just metadata in the file. I know that when I print out the 2D drawings I make, it puts text in the bottom corner with something to the effect of "This was made with the educational version of Solidworks, Not for commercial use" or something like that. I expect something similar if you tried to open a file made on the educational version on the commercial version, there would be something similar on the screen. Not sure though, since I only have the educational version.
