Bishop Curry V may be young (10 years old, to be precise), but the little kid from Texas has some big ideas. He’s currently working on a device that could help prevent children from dying in hot cars.

The number of children who died in hot cars increased across the country last year, and Texas had the highest number of cases. Sadly for Bishop, the issue also hits close to home because a baby died in a minivan last summer outside a home near his own family’s home in McKinney.

Bishop was inspired to create a device he calls “Oasis,” which would attach to a car seat and detect if a child is left inside the vehicle, prompting it to blow cool air until parents or the police are notified.

“It would be a dream to have lots of inventions that would save many lives,” the precocious 10-year-old told the news station.

A lot of people don’t realize how easy it is to leave something in a hot car. It’s easy to forget something when it’s not in your daily routine, especially if it’s asleep or under a blanket or something. This is a nightmare. I don’t have kids myself, but I can absolutely understand how this could happen- everyone’s sick so you’re probably kind of out of it, you run in thinking you’re just going to be a minute, get distracted with the task at hand… and then your child dies in a horrific way because of it…

I’m all for any methods or technologies that can help prevent it from turning tragic.

A lot of adulthood is shouting “AUGH MY LAUNDRY” hours after you put it in the washer/dryer and running to go fetch it

you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity

        I was playing Minecraft, and I decided to go north with no materials other than the items i already had in pockets. For two REAL days I have spent my time going nothing but north. I eventually reached an ocean and I jumped in and swam…and swam… I was running out of food and just as i was about to give up and drown myself, i stumbled upon the most amazing thing i have ever seen. An island of 1 block sticking out of the ocean with a red rose resting on top. Against all odds, that one rose grew on that one block. This has given me hope, and i must believe that against all odds, I too can live on. I must keep going.

Hey all! 

My name is Rose, and I’m a junior astrophysics major. This will be my third year trying to support myself through college on my own. 

I know this pandemic has been hard on everyone, but I could really use some help right now. 

I moved back to my college town this Saturday, three days before my university informed us that all of our classes would be going online. Basically, they told all of us to just cancel our leases (because it’s that easy??) and go back home. The thing is, I can’t just go back home, because I don’t have a home to go back to. I’ve been estranged from my abusive family since senior year of high school. I spent the summer sleeping in my best friend’s basement. 

My housing has decided to raise my rent $200 dollars (I had a side job at my housing that gave me a discount on my rent, and wasn’t told that job had ended) this year. I’m missing a weeks’s worth of pay, due to moving back to town later than expected (also a financial issue). My main job is also at my university, and I have no idea if I’m being laid off or not. 

In other words, I’m broke. Like, I’ve never been in a position like this before and I’m completely freaking out, broke. I’m already behind on rent this month, and I have no idea what I’m going to do for next month. I’m $510 behind of what I need to have to pay my bills on September 1st, and that’s not even including groceries. I wont get another paycheck until September 11th. 

Anyways, If anyone’s able to help right now, I’d really appreciate it. Even if you could just reblog this so others will see it.
