  • I don't recall him ever having a transplant done but again as I said below in the long story you might find interesting. I haven't heard from him in years. It was certainly wild to think about and to realize he has no heartbeat anymore. I'll ask a family member what ever come of him. Hopefully all is well with him. Who knows.

  • This rejogs a partial memory. I do recall he said he no longer has a heart beat. He told me his heart was pronounced dead part or the whole thing I am unsure. I gave a decent story and better description below in another comment.

  • So his heart was pronounced dead, it didnt function but was left inside I think. I always wondered his abilities and I asked once that very question, particularly towards having sex lol. He used to be an alcoholic and could no longer drink as it would thin the blood and thus mess with the pumping ability.

    I don't recall him ever doing anything strenuous and truthfully don't recall his answer to that question but seems like he joked that he could still do it with a woman. He walked slow, talked slowish labored sort of, laughed sheepishly like a labored laugh. Generally looked sick like you can imagine. He drove cars and that's about all I remember. Im unsure if he could turn it up maybe? I haven't spoken with him in a decade. I don't even know if he is still alive.

    He got robbed/mugged in a big city about 10 years ago, the mugger took his satchel containing his medical battery bank despite him explaining the battery pack and pleading at gunpoint on a downtown street. He nearly died and an ambulance couldn't arrive in time. A stranger he flagged on the street transported him to a hospital where they somehow got him hooked up to a new battery system. They said he had mere minutes left on the internal battery inside his pump. That was the last info I heard of him. Wild to think about and he told the robber it was a medical pack but they thought it was a laptop bag and took it anyhow, it was more square like a car battery than a satchel but more vertical shaped like a rectangle.

  • This might be sort if news. I know a guy that had a pump for a heart it pumped the same non stop pressure and he wore a satchel type battery pack forever but functioned fairly normal. Always had to keep extra batteries around and the internal pump had a backup of 30 to 45 mins. This was 15 years ago.

  • What I have seen like duckAI in duckduckgo search it cites references and if you query GPT and other models with the specific data your looking towards it will cite and give links to where it sourced the input from like PubMed. Etc.

    For instance I will query with something like give me a list of flowers that are purple, cite all sources and ensure accuracy of data provided by cross referencing with other studies while using previous chats as context.

    I find it's about how you type your queries and logic. Once you understand how the models work rather than blindly accepting them as supreme AI then you understand it's limits and how to utilize the tool for what they are.

  • They get you 80 to 90 percent close to generally solving most problems asked. Sure they need fact checked as any info does. They are of major use in all areas of study and life. Just not the god everyone wants it to be.

  • Building a house. Accomplishing goals towards all the dreams of eco friendly and carbon negative inside and out. Then showing others how, selling and doing it again, or somehow spreading the carbon negative practices by installing low maintence systems. Profit for the sake of repeating the process. Carbon negative for all!

  • Check if my apps are up to date. Then remind myself fun is in real life not my phone. I'm not being pedantic it just helps to focus on my real happiness and keeping my hands busy than not and dooming in my phone.

  • The biggest advice I can give is put systems in place to reduce as much as possible the list of things you have to manage freeing up your mind and time to solve more complex issues.

    Stick a hose on the dehumidifier route into the drain never empty it again as an example where as before you emptied it daily or every 2 days.

  • Its gut wrenching. No amount of lawsuit money could give true justice. Lives were taken. You can't give those back.

    Change is the only positive outcome, and money to the families sure. But to prevent that horrible atrocity and to give power back to the people. Where they aren't in fear to go home for fear of losing their jobs or what ever the punishment was.

  • All you have to do is change severs sometimes a few and refresh. Then it can flag your browser. It's a pain because people get severs blacklisted that and Modern sites like Google and YouTube and others use AI to detect unusual traffic patterns.

    Sucks but once you find a good server remember the number and use it until it's burned takes some time months even then move on again. They are trying really hard to dox all users and make it hard for privacy minded folk.
