  • If they want in they will just break a window or damage the door frame so bad the lock breaks with a big crow bar... I have been broken into before no one even tries to bump or pick, they will just look for a window that isn't visible from the street, get in, take stuff then leave through any door they want.

    The VAST majority of locks sold at home depot or put in cheap buy builders are not that secure, many can be bumped or worse do not have many key combinations.

    If I wanted high security I would be re-enforcing my ground level window first.

  • Ya I am keeping an eye on it.. in my case I may be looking for something different than a GREAT front door lock for the majority of the doors, just something more basic that I can be sure is locked.. Maybe even the cheap keypad ones as many support auto lock, and for some of the doors that is really all I want..

  • Been here only a few days and we are a large family, been finding doors unlocked each evening and need to check them all each night. This is mostly because we have doors to the attached garage and to the back yard where there is a lot of in and out not just the front door.

    No one is leavening doors open just unlocked.

  • If I am in great pain or have been injured I just head to the emergency room. My only concern is how long I will have to wait to be seen which is based on urgency of the symptoms.

    If you have a less severe or chronic problem it can take a few months to see various specialists or get non critical surgery. However again time is the only concern.

    The only financial concerns come from over the counter medication for which there are programs for low income and extended coverage that is commonly covered by employers. Also most of these medications are cheaper in Canada vs the US as the provinces negotiate the costs. For an example an epi pen purchased without coverage of any kind is 6x cheaper in Canada than the US.

    It is slow at times but I never have a financial concern during an emergency or that I need to go to a specific in network hospital like in the US.

  • Odd I have tested them in stores before and they are typically well rated.

    However I was using Bose QC II for a few years and now I use the apple air pod pros.

    For in ear seal is really important for nose canceling and apple also provides a test mode / app on apple devices to test that sound isn’t leaking substantially.

    Makes no difference in a quiet environment but will easily cancel out a loud air conditioner or most traffic noise from passing cars.

  • I specifically purchase noise cancelling headphones / earbuds now since it makes it easy to listen at MUCH quieter levels. I have done some tests with the noise cancelling disabled and setting the volume and with it on.. It really makes a huge difference as I am not cranking it up to drowned out noise on transit or walking down the street.

  • The drool always (several extractions including wisdom) faded for me once the numbing wore off and I took the gauze out to sleep (you should not sleep with gauze in your mouth).

    You can google about this or ask your dentist if it persists more than a night or so.

  • Summer Cooling 22C - 23 C (71.6F to 73.4) in Winter Heating 20 C- 20.5C (68 F - 68.9 F) Since we have large summer and winter seasonal temperature differences we are all dressed more warmly in the winter so a lower over set point.

  • The hard part is getting a a host that allows the ports, a “clean / private” static public IP and a matching reverse lookup record for it.

    Email servers and spf / dmarc / dkim are not that hard to setup. There is still going to be a “trust” period for some spam filters but if you did everything else right it isn’t too hard other than in bound spam filtering.

  • You clearly haven't tried to use them for any significant task, the error rate gets bad. Hell I just use Siri for my shopping list and have to figure out some of the random garbage it inserts.

    At the very least READING works well but speech to text is very hit and miss. You also can't use it everywhere.

    As far as communication goes it would be similar to being blind but not knowing braille or Tactile signing and being 100% dependant on technical aids.

  • Assuming you were completely illiterate it would VASTLY limit your interaction with the current world and ability to work than having no legs.

    I am not even sure it is a contest here. Having no legs would absolutely limit my physical mobility but there are accommodations and workarounds for that. I can 100% do my current desk job with no legs, play online games etc.

    Being completely illiterate would heavily isolate you and your ability to grow and learn. You would have to be verbally / visually be taught everything yet somehow not ever learn how to read or write?
