Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.
With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won't.
If the images they show in the video are of the final revision of the device (unlikely), it should not be difficult to make a close copy of it right now.
EDIT: Mocked it up as best as I could with made-up numbers for diameter (~3.1") and taper angle (2.0deg) since I am to lazy to go out to my shed and get my electric leaf blower. At 0:55 in the video there is a close-up of the end of one of the mufflers, and it looks like it is made of multiple pieces, with some black material lining the outer shell. I am going to guess that might be something acoustically absorbent, but inexpensive and easy to get, like a sheet of neoprene with an adhesive back. That way, you can stick it inside of the outer shell and then insert the center with the helix. That is the kind of material I would expect in a senior design project when you are iterating through designs and need stuff cheap and quick.
So, I designed it that way for the one I did. https://imgur.com/a/Qr0vOhb
I'll probably get my leaf blower and update the model so it fits on my leaf blower, and if it works well, I'll post it to Printables and Thingiverse.
If you keep your eyes closed, you would only have to be a hundredaire to make it happen.

There are adjustable for just about every aspect of your interaction with it.
All (well, the two or 3 models we have at work) of the enMotion dispensers have that option. It's just a switch inside to leave one out or not.
I bought a set of keys for the most common ones, and when I run across paper towel dispensers that spit out the shortest length of paper with the longest delay, I pop them open and flip the switches to give the longest length of paper and shortest delay. And fix jams and misfeeds as well if I run across them.
Interesting. I knew they made some sounds, but not that many!
Crow Making a Noise I Have Not Heard Before
I have been feeding some crows for the last couple of years, and one of them started making this click-cooing sound about a year or so ago. I have caught it now a couple of times, and posted the videos. Has anyone ever heard crows (or ravens, I am still confused as to which is which) making this sound?
I learned my lesson about 'lifetime' updates with a Tom Tom GPS unit, from the late '90s, maybe early 2000s. After about 4 or 5 years I couldn't install the latest map updates, so I contacted CS. They said, "Oh yeah, lifetime means the time of the expected life of the unit, which is 4.5 years. We don't support that model anymore. Any other questions?"
Looks similar to a tool for bedding a rifle barrel in a wood stock.
Here are the Milwaukee Low Profile Parts Organizer Bins I duplicated. I was going for an identical looking copy, and not just a functional equivalent.

Here are the "regular height" Packout Organizer Bins I duplicated.

This post has made me realize I need to consolidate them and get them into one post of each depth. Also, I need to put the divided square file up, since I designed it, but haven't posted it yet. I think I will wait and print it to make sure it works properly before I put it up. Maybe this weekend. . .
It Took About Two Months, But They Are Finally Done - Milwaukee Deep Organizer Bins

I have previously duplicated the Milwaukee Low-Profile Organizer bins, (as well as designed modified ones) and the regular height organizer bins and posted them on Printables and Thingiverse, and I was asked to design printable bins for the new deep organizer.
They don't have bins, so that allowed me the freedom to design them, and not just duplicate the existing ones. It also was a pain in the ass, because I had to buy new measuring tools to measure some of the weird inside angles of the deep pockets. But after a couple of tries (10 iterations for the corner pieces) they are all done.
Yup. I hesitated when I should have bought one in 2022 and now their prices are back up.
I've been sitting in the same Steelcase Leap V2 for 8 years at work and it is still comfortable. I love it. When my current chair at home dies (it's good, but not "Steelcase" good) I'm biting the bullet and getting the Leap V2 at home as well.
You mean Aunt Bunny?
She can't walk down a flight of stairs...
But I bet she can climb the fuck out of a tree!
I haven't heard that routine in 20 years at least, but I listened to that cassette tape for months on end.
Yeah, he's a talker. I've got a few more videos of him talking, and some other videos of them seeing how many pieces of kibble they can hold in their beak at a time.
I Duplicated the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile and Regular Organizer Bins - And Added Divided Rectangular Bins As Well
I bought the Milwaukee Packout Low Profile Organizer, and loved everything about it - except the rectangular bin. The fact that it was divided into three sections bothered me, and the fact that it couldn't be divided along the long axis also bothered me, so I modeled it and duplicated it. I wanted my model to be indistinguishable from the original, so instead of just making something that would work, but look out of place, I tried to make something that just blended in and disappeared.
So, I duplicated the rectangular bin, but also moved the separator slots around so that it could be divided into four sections along the short axis, and also be divided in half along the long axis. That meant that it could be divided in a bunch of crazy ways as well, so I modeled a bunch of different dividers for it.
I also modeled the square bin as well, just in case I wanted "spares" that could hold additional stuff that could be swapped out without having to dump stuff from one bin to another. My bin is completely compatible with the Milwaukee bins. They stack on each other, the separator I made fits in the Milwaukee bin, and the Milwaukee separator fits in my bin.
Chatty Crow That Comes By Occasionally
We sometimes feed the local crows - and the occasional Raven as well - and this crow really likes to chitter for a bit before coming down and getting some food.
