Something don't add up in that house. 38yo mom ditches 3 kids for 24 years w/o a peep and never made attempts at contact, and still don't want none. So what did hubby do to move on legally? She ever declared dead? Changed her Identity? etc. Very fishy.

He accidentally gained control of 7,000 robot vacuums

CNN’s Clare Duffy spoke with Sammy Azdoufal, who says he accidentally hacked thousands of DJI Romo vacuums while trying to connect it to his play station control, giving him access to other users’ microphone audio and video streams. DJI says the issue has since been resolved.

No wonder my Roomba has been sassy.

This story is really old but we were talking about this today and made me think about it. I used to play soccer with this guy and I had spent time with his family at his house. Very surreal. Its my understanding he is still at Moccasin Bend

It just really shows you that you never really know what someone is capable of.

I had seen the guy a couple of times after we graduated high school and I could tell he had really changed. The story or rumor is he had gotten hooked on angel dust in the year he was at college. So maybe that was a big factor in changing him

Angel Dust is old school and powerful. Way back in the day. Late 70's/early 80's guy from hometown was an engineer major at Ga Tech. Brilliant. Smoked a dub he didn't know was laced aith PCP. Fried his brain. Parent's disowned him. I mean he was fried. Skizo and all. The whole bucket. Spent his time homeless after that around the fast food parking lots getting handouts and talking to all kinds of invisible beings. Even if it don't fry your biscuits Angel Dust will alter the norm.

If you read articles on what I posted the state doctor stated that the guy I knew was suffering from skizo and bi-polar. He was not like that in high school

Yeah. Definitely could have been side affects of the Dust if he was doing that and was not like that when you knew him. Of all the foreign things to abuse your body with, that is one of the most dangerous. Never had an urge to try anything growing up and thankful for it. Having a sister at 65 that can't even stand up from alcohol abuse, and neices and nephews that all binge drink, I just don't get it.

I have seen the effects of alcohol abuse... its not pretty. I used to drink socially but the last three years or so I think I can count on one hand how many times I have drank. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Same. Never was a heavy drinker. Max of two drinks of anything for me. Beer, wine, whatever. I'm a lightweight anyway. If the first goes down too fast there won't be a second. I typically don't mind an occasional beer or sip of whiskey or glass of wine. 6 pack would last me and the wife a week and we haven't bought one in some time. Whiskey has only been a winter interest for me. No hot weather appeal. But, didn't even buy a bottle this winter. I guess just seeing her rapidly declining at a young age still just from excessive abuse the last 7 years and what lack of moderation can do to a person. And I've always been practical. If we're struggling in other areas, can't justify spending money on stocking drink in hte house. Having only a son to my credit and one chance of raising a good kid, I'm glad God blessed me with one. At 23, he does his thing, puts himself through college, and has kept a clean body. I'm thankful he hasn't taken to the abuse like all his cousins. He's a rare kid in our two families.

That's interesting. I haven't looked into bipolar or things like that I guess because I haven't had anyone that I was super close with be diagnosed with it.

Nephew was probably twenties like you say when he was diagnosed. He was also a heroine addict after coming off oxy from a hand surgery. Those traits did not mix well when you don't take your bi-polar meds. He is also highly intelligent which I've noticed can cause short circuits in other areas. He's been clean and stable and very well employed for 7ish years now. Getting out of that GA town and up here to the farm changed his life, or saved it rather. Now, if we can just get him to lose the dreads. He's a very good looking young man either way, but they'd probably bring him into hte office and really elevate his position with the company if he groomed to his age now. I helped him get that job and they've loved him from day one.

In the nineties, at a start up of which I was a part, the accountant was bipolar. We discovered this when he went off his meds and had a manic episode. Witnessing that unfold was a cold dose of reality.

I think the worst part is trying to hide it from the family like you're embarrased. It was a long time coming before my sister ever told anyone what was going on when my nephew missed holiday gatherings and trout fishing trips for that year. Tried to cover for him instead of adressing problems. Like he was a family roach or something. He don't mingle much with his mom these days. They are toxic around each other. He can't deal with her. He was a really good kid that developed some issues. Where he is now he did on his own. But, the in betweens during all those times cost his parents all their retirement on lawyers and bails. And he got railroaded a few times by local corrupt police cause they didn't like him. Even today he can't ride thru the hometown w/o getting pulled over for nothing and hauled in. They've got a strong case but no money to pursue. Rather sad.

Totally unrealted, but I witnessed a severe diabetic have a really bad episode in our warehouse one time. A mx of being disturbing and trying not to be frantic. One of the other moderate diabetics was actually my supply clerk. His episodes usually resulted in a very nasty and mean disposition. The dose of reality on the one that just dropped to the ground and zoned out though, that was hitting real time.
