Absentee gear

Absentee gear is gear which looks good to a beginner who isn't familiar with a hobby yet, but is actually low quality.
The kind that a good role model (such as a present father figure) would prevent you from buying, as they'd tell you to do better.

Often, but not always, associated with "50 features in 1", gimmicks with little practical application, and cheaper materials.
Originates in the outdoor community, but is applicable for a broad range of hobbies.
Jeremy bought a survival axe from walmart with a built-in compass, survival whistle and magnifying glass. Unfortunately the handle was made from cheap plastic, so it broke within a week.

Had he had someone to show him what to look for instead, he'd not have fallen for such absentee gear.

Death in Absentia

When a person who has been missing for an extended period is declared dead, even though there is usually no evidence to support whether they are alive to deceased because they are...well, missing.

A missing person is declared dead in absentia when they have not been located for seven years after vanishing.
Death in absentia can lead to odd scenarios if the person comes back.

For example, a man who had gone missing long enough to be declared dead suddenly turned up again and appealed his declaration of death in court. However, the decision was ruled irreversible, and he remained legally dead despite his clearly being alive, as he was standing in the courtroom!
