My brother had a near death experience with a hard candy as a child and never got over his fight or flight. He could not tolerate even a wooden depressor in his mouth as an adult. How he made it 3 years as a US marine still amazes me.

What I'm less sure about is whether these are weird pathological cases thought up by math nerds (like myself) that would be vanishingly unlikely to happen IRL, or if these are serious problems that more people need to be thinking about. But until someone convinces me that these are extremely unlikely to happen IRL, I will continue my skepticism of RCV. It may still be better than what we have now though!

Police in that area(Durham/Dover/Lee) seem pretty easy-going. No significant gang-banger crime in the area to make them worry about getting shot down. Probably just dealing with taking fentanyl OD's to the hospital, the less-than-occasional UNH student working on their DUI scorecard, etc.

OMG. I remember living there for awhile in a previous life. Cheap and close to the U where I worked. Very cheap ... and old ... and run down.

Cheap enough that ... yikes. The people there seemed to be extra-specially "precious".

If the creek next door flooded, half of the first-floor studios in back could flood out right up to waist height.
