Random Irritations

[Slime]

My wife's aunt died yesterday morning, that's not the irritation, that's a blessing.
The irritation is that she was kept alive for two years longer than she should have been.
She had no memeory, couldn't do anything herself, never left her room, didn't recognise her visitors, couldn't remember her previous sentence, she was just a bag of bones being allowed to live on a ridiculous cocktail of medications with absolutely NO quality of life.
She wasn't alive, she was merely in existence.
We're all so pleased that she's now found some form of eternal peace, she was a lovely woman, she deserves her peace.

The clock on my car is wrong by 2 minutes. Big deal...........but it is supposed to work via GPS so how can it be wrong? I'm hoping it will have corrected next time I start up.

It just means your car is not when you think it is. You need to park it somewhen else.

Just move it approx 20 miles east or west of the Greenwich Meridian.

How do you know it’s the car clock that’s wrong? You must be comparing it to another time piece, how do you that’s correct?

I checked my phone, googled 'what time is it?' and it went to site showing the time. My watch was matching it to within 2 seconds.

It wasn't matching it then...or is this your version of timekeeping like some's version of offside and VAR??

Could well be a slight delay over the wifi . It was close enough, a big toe in an offside decision

You need a watch synced to the Atomic clock

The rules on assisted dying need to be adjusted. It doesn't help much in this case, but....The religious priority views need to end.

It’s an awful situation and glad she is at peace now

Did you feel a ripple in the space time continuum? You may be stuck between parallel universes - a common problem with Skoda’s.

Our personal devices all linked to such primitive geostationary satellite technology just makes us easier targets for Borg assimilation.
Probably not a bad thing that the motor vehicle's internal chronometer has severed its link.

Isn't your phone set to update the time automatically thus not needing to ask Google you just check the time?

Consider yourself lucky, for six months of the year the clock in my car is wrong by one hour, plus or minus a couple of minutes. What's the point in putting the time forward or backwards by an hour when in six months time they're going to change it again.

I have a really old watch that is still correct twice a day, every day.

I just wanted to double check

I suspect this was not relevant to the assisted dying debate. Rather, it was probably a case of keeping someone alive who would otherwise have died through natural causes. (And I doubt religion has anything to do with it).

My mother was in a similar situation, being kept alive for a year with no quality of life. There were several times in that year when she acquired chest infections that would have killed her, except the doctors pumped her full of antibiotics when the kindest thing would have been to let her go. When the end finally came, it was a relief to the family.
