the type of people who have to pay $500 for premium tinder aren't gonna get answers for their dms anyway like who's going to answer a dm from someone they haven't liked? e: does tinder have a block feature?

Something to consider is the Apple Watch that you can make calls from. If he falls and isn’t near his phone he can make/receive calls from it. He can do it on the basic watch if he’s nearby his phone but there’s an upgraded version that doesn’t require him being near his phone and has its own cell service.

The few people I know with smartwatches all have apples so trying to figure out if the samsung is viable for this or if I have to switch him to an apple phone I'll do that (and he'll hate it) Joey Freshwater posted:Something to consider is the Apple Watch that you can make calls from.

Yeah, definitely looking at the LTE version of whatever I get. Dude's getting forgetful, want to make sure he can make an emergency call without his phone

Also if anyone you know has surgery and has PT to do, make sure they loving do it. Jesus christ dad, you got the hips of a 80 year old because you wouldn't get into a drat pool.

I didn't have surgery and I'm not 80 but I start PT for what seems like a pinched nerve in my neck this week. poo poo suuuuuuucks I hope that's what it is, if it's still hurting after six weeks I get an MRI to check for a slipped disc or bone spur rubbing against a nerve

Id bet money that they gently caress with the algorithm to keep likely matches behind the pay wall and drip feed you just enough to keep you coming back. Most dating apps will tell you, you have likes in your queue but you can't see them, and if they don't come up in your daily like allotment... Dating apps aren't about matching people they're about engagement with the app.

FizFashizzle posted:Life alert aren’t scams. Insurance will (maybe) cover them as well. Yeah life alert is great (for the patients). Apple Watches aren’t purpose built for elder fall detection and 911 activation the way life alert pendants/bracelets are. They’re also more fragile. About the only benefit is that you can call from Apple Watches.

My one goal today is to score one of the giant boxes with one of our new printers in it so I can break down the sides to use a mat for my office puzzles. I have one right now that I'd like to put up so i can start on the next one, which I may or may not put up depending on how much I like the finished product. It's a little weird but doing a puzzle keeps me from staring at a screen all day and gives my hands something to in meetings that I am required to go to but don't need to do things at.

One of my best friend's grandma was saved by LifeAlert when she fell in her house and broke her hip, and couldn't reach her telephone. The fire dept completely wrecked their back door getting in though, but a small price to pay for your life  Neil Armbong posted:nah. def feels like 100% monetizing incels. Certainly sounds like an opportunity for them to message women "whyyyy didn't you swipe right on me?!?!?" and yeah, sounds awful for women.
