I understand the need for science, teaching, and all the beneficial reasons. But damn is there not anything capitalism canā€™t exploit the less fortunate for?

@JPlowman : Probably not lol. Everything is for sale if the price is right. :sweat_smile:

Watched an independent documentary last month about the old medical skeleton trade out of India. A bunch of shady people doing shady stuff to make them and send them to the US and Europe for hospitals and schools. And thereā€™s still some of the same shady people doing the same shady stuff today, but a lot less. Iā€™ll see if I can find it and link it later today.

Edit: YT docu style like Simon Whistlerā€™s 30 channels. MedlifeCrisis, love his butt head skeleton lol

I think that this use case is common enough to try to get a few hotel chains to get on-board. But this might require allowing the use with all fidesmo fobs to make it more attractive to the hotels?

I donā€™t know if itā€™s possible to do this and Iā€™m fully aware that Amal is busy enough but Iā€™m putting this out there.

Sounds like something Fidesmo should be doing, not Amal :thinking: maybe reach out to them and suggest the idea?

The thing about all this stuff that has proven to be true over and over is that the thing you think makes the decisions is not the thing that makes decisionsā€¦

Hotels donā€™t design their access systemsā€¦ they pick one. Itā€™s not the hotels you need to convince, itā€™s the access system companiesā€¦ and they have interests to protect which makes bringing in an alternative device a very scary proposition for them. Likewise, banks donā€™t get to decide what their customers get to use to make payments at point of sale terminals, itā€™s the payment networksā€¦ and they have vested interests to protectā€¦etc.etc.etc.

Everything has so many layers to it that lining everything up takes eons.

Today I learned that Pilgrimsmaster has a brother who never got uploaded and is a bit of a party animalā€¦

Ok, maybe notā€¦ But that statute made me think of my favorite AI for some reason.

Storytime please. I read this and continued on my day. And it ate at me and now the brain worm has me wanting more. What is it you do that makes you a prime target? Why are you being kidnapped. i am so facinated by this right now.

And also where did this happen? Brazil or Boston or Baghdad?

I have a few stories of robbery attempts in Colombia and of family members who got kidnapped.

Thankfully, I donā€™t have any stories of successful attacks against meā€¦

And I moved out of that country, things are getting worse over there. But I do miss having easy access to Amazon.

1.) Alaska. Age twelve. My father sold me into sex slavery and had me kidnapped from our home.

2.) Utah. Age thirteen. They called me 204. I escaped the compound I was being held prisoner in. I was caught hitchhiking and returned hours later by a man who used to work there after recognizing the grey sweats they forced us to wear and noticing I wasnā€™t wearing any shoes. I told him Iā€™d remember him.
His name was Rob.

3.) Utah. Age seventeen. They transferred me to a new compound. I took advantage and escaped again. They didnā€™t catch me this time. I swore Iā€™d return someday, and burn their world to the ground.

4.) Alaska. Age eighteen. Hitchhiking home; a winter storm hit during the last 100 miles. Old guy picked me up. He wasnā€™t going far. Told me he was heading back to his cabin to watch porn. Said Iā€™d be welcome to join him. I looked out at the storm to weigh my odds. ā€œOkay.ā€ I told him. He taught me about drugs. We got really high and really drunk. ā€¦Probably the day I became an addict. I woke up hours later butt naked in a room I hadnā€™t seen before. There was a large door in the floor, but it was locked. There was another door at the end of the room. I ran to it and opened it to the storm outside, two stories up. I jumped, landing in a snow drift. I ran back around to the front of the cabin and opened the door. The old man was passed out on the couch naked with a needle in his arm, laying very still. I searched the cabin for my clothes, but couldnā€™t find them, so I took some of his. Considered taking his truck keys, but I didnā€™t know how to drive. I left and headed the direction of the sunrise because he turned left off the highway heading North last night, so the highway had to be the same direction as the sunrise. I finished hitchhiking home. Knocked on the door of my childhood home. My father answered. His jaw kept dropping and closing like heā€™d seen a ghost. Itā€™d been years since he saw me. I hugged him tight. He hugged me back. ā€¦I had no idea it was all his fault.

5.) Alaska. Age twenty. Some ā€œfriendsā€ of mine spiked my drink and took me on an ā€œadventureā€ where I almost died numerous times because I was drugged out of my mind. They thought I was too intense; wound up too tight, needed to relax; they wanted to show me a good time. Weā€™re no longer friends.

6.) Nebraska. Age twenty-two. Kidnapped on vacation by a middle-age man who lost his wife and infant daughter. He wanted me to be his babygirl. I played along for a while; biding my time. I snuck out of my nursery a week later after becoming sick from the food he was giving me; broke the plastic child safety devices around the door knobs. Almost felt a little badā€¦Stockholm Syndrome was starting to set inā€¦he was the nicest kidnapper ever and just wanted to keep me safeā€¦FOREVER lmao, but stillā€¦he was sweet in his own sick, twisted kind of way.

Yikes! @204, youā€™ve got some stories!

Reminds me of something at the work,
We have a ā€œradioactive material spill cleanup kitā€

Itā€™s locked in a metal cage with a padlock on it

Itā€™s amusing to me because Iā€™d be willing to bet push come to shove, nobody knows who has to key lol

Like, I understand the container with recovered material has to be securedā€¦ but the kit itself isnā€™t actually that specialā€¦ so why lock it up?

ā€œSo nobody messes with itā€
