And now I need to make a 3D printed mold in a comfortable shape that can be used to easily cast concrete around a lighter.

Maybe a simple cylinder, with the lighter off center so it can easily be flicked?

Maybe I’ll squish some play-doh around one and scan it and use that.

Whatever, it just needs to be too big to “accidentally” end up in someone’s pocket.

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

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.

There are adjustable for just about every aspect of your interaction with it.

All (well, the two or 3 models we have at work) of the enMotion dispensers have that option. It’s just a switch inside to leave one out or not.

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.

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?”
