Happened about a month apart. First was my parents van. Mom was going around a corner and some idiot was in her lane. She swerved or else could have been worse. She was just a little sore. Other guys fault. 

 

Second was my sister.   She had the green and the guy turning left had an flashing orange arrow. He was driving and turned hitting the front driver side. He was driving a jeep compass and my sister a Nissan Versa. 3 air bags deployed. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance.  Nice seat belt bruise, bruised ribs, hurt her neck and got glass in her arm. Week later she is still in pain but doing better. Chest really hurts and muscle spams. She also has a couple chipped teeth. Other guys fault as well and his insurance is paying for everything. 

 

Hopefully no more accidents in the family anytime soon but happy everyone is ok.

Thanks. Mom is fine sister still in a lot of pain. Specially when breathing.  Bruised ribs are no joke. 

"Especially" - aren't she breathing all the time?

 

I am pretty sure I had a broken rib and I know how sucky it can be.

at least they are paying for it and hopefully it will all be well soon.

 

my last crash I had a neck fracture and concussion both were scary as hell but after 2-3 month the neck healed and he headaches finally stopped. And it was in another country when my travel insurance was expired... Total close to$4000 for hospital and pills

 

 

My memory is not great though as this was my 3rd major concussion (2 sporting accidents before) so I hope eventually it will come back but I have hazy memory of anything further then 10 years ago.

 

Which is wierd because the last concussion the missing memory was everything in the last 10 years but it came back in a day.

 

Damn I hope I never ever get in accidents again - because I don't think my brain can take another hit... And I still have to use it daily....

Title should be changed to 3 cars totaled. Mom totaled her car couple weeks ago.  Ran into the concrete base of a sign in the parking lot. In her defense, her mind was on my gpa, dad's 97 year old father, passing. 

 

When it rains it pours.

I hate to be a prick but if you know your mind is elsewhere you shouldn't be behind the wheel.

Please avoid the area of Queen and 410 in Brampton, have enough problems with the drivers in Brampton to begin with... (more so for your safety) lol

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
