A woman known by community members as "grandma" in one Washington, D.C. neighborhood helped put a 15-year-old in the ambulance after he allegedly attempted to carjack her as she was leaving to go to chemotherapy.

The attempted carjacking occurred on Feb. 17 at around 8:30 a.m. in the 22nd St. Southeast neighborhood, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, which said the 15-year-old suspect entered the senior citizen's vehicle "demanding keys" to the car. Police say that the victim attempted to pull the teenager out of the car while yelling for help from her family.

The woman told WJLA that she told the teenager he wasn't taking her car.

"Next thing I know, he walked up talking about, 'give me your keys, I got a gun.' I said, 'baby, you better shoot me, because you’re not taking my car," the woman said.

    Love you man so glad you are still here

    I live a very boring life otherwise.

    23AndMe is apparently looking to sell the company. I wonder what that means for all the genetic data they have. I don't have an account for The Atlantic so I can't read the rest of their news, but presumably whoever would buy the company would then have access to that, and I don't think there are any HIPPA or equivalent protections on it
  • Varine Varine:
    I'd bet it would be a treasure trove for pharmaceutical manufacturing and genetic research. I know they sold some genetic information a few years ago but they did that without identifying information attached
  • Varine Varine:
    It's be like a really boring biopunk dystopia. My TV started giving me ads when I turn it on recently (which is real fucking cool), and now I'm imagining it just being like "bioinformation says you have cancer. Get a prescription for Avastin today" and then you get connected to someone that is technically a doctor but really mostly just selling drugs to people right on your TV since they have cameras now to give you a prescription.
  • Varine Varine:
    So, buy stocks in whoever buys them would be my bet
  • Varine Varine:
    I wish I had time to keep up on things like this. My investment portfolio would probably look a bit better.

    I would rather not have anyone ever post then those kinds of posts

    lol what were they doing?

    3D printer is working again. Had to get a bunch of parts, cuz I forgot I kind of modded it and then never finished modding it. Turns out thermistors aren't all the same
  • Varine Varine:
    And as a result I may have gotten the hot end way too hot and caused a small fire
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I have a new not end and this one has the right things
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I get these really weird artifacts, I think its from my bed not being clean. Not really sure, I've seen this before though and I think cleaning the build plate fixed it. Eh, I'll figure it out, worst case scenario it rips the rest of the model off and it catches fire again
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm now realizing I could have cut out like 99% of this print and it would have been fine cuz I just need to see if a frame will fit over an LCD
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh well
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm not an engineer
  • Varine Varine:
    Although this filament is kind of expensive, I should probably be a bit more wary of that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I love the whole concept of 3D Printers and am very happy you have one so I can hear about them
