Mine, no, but I definitely know people who went from very happy with their lives to deep depression in a shorter period then that.

That doesn’t necessarily equal suicidal tendencies in all cases but there’s certainly common ground been the two.

Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!

Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.

He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don’t believe he had a W&T.

The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.

Yup. Just waiting for a little while from now when Trump starts deporting Ukranians to Russia because “well the place they came from doesn’t exist it’s Russian now”

I kinda wonder about this in regards to the weird way these people structure their money/finances against their wealth. While I’m sure Elon’s bank account shows not figures then mine ever will, it’s my understanding is a lot of the “wealth” is tied up in assets like stock etc, and they then borrow against the stock for actual liquid cash-flow, such Elon did in order to buy X.

So my hope is still that at some point, Tesla takes enough of a dive that the bank makes a call and if he doesn’t have enough liquid capital to pay back the loans he might get outsted. Having Tesla survive sans-Elon would be great IMO

Well, in Canada they got caught faking last-minute sales for EV rebates, which might trigger closer scrutiny in other places as well

It’s possible he can be both. Given the current administration it’s even likely

I’d imagine that they good l could also be converted into decent power banks for homes during outages

Free for life? Here is always been free for only the first few years of ownership and then you pay, plus the system is fucking terrible and doesn’t work half the time.

The privacy thing isn’t necessarily part of advertising though.

Advertising can be as complex as targeted algorithms built using harvested information and even AI bullshit, or as simple as a sign by the road saying “next right for MegaBurger” or even a small box with “Bob’s autoglass repair” in the paper.

It’s the volume and invasiveness that’s a problem. Ads in your mailbox, ads in your inbox, ads on your streaming service and when you turn on your Roku etc etc acting as blockers to the content you’re actually looking for.

I’m totally cool too go back to having an “autoglass” or “plumbers” section in paper and online yellow Pages etc, which target people actually looking for a service. I’m also cool with places which I subscribe to advertising me deals I might like (not so much signing me up for their shit the first time I buy from them), but the shoving crap in people’s face and information harvesting that needs to end.

Hell, I even have a collection of saved ads that were clever and entertaining I’d share with people, yet most companies go for volume (both audible and amount) over substance

Quality of content vs engaging presentation. I can understand this despite my loathing of Twilight

Shut up you fucking bitch!

Barbie-wannaby, including the plastic

The French Foreign Legion is actually pretty badass

I still have my circa-2016 email confirming my pledge for the Time 2 Silver, which ultimately got cancelled just before the fulfillment date due to Pebble selling out to Fitbit.

While I loved my original Pebble back then, I would really want something similar to look and function of the T2S so will watch this project in hopes it too is resurrected

That and/or a big influx of vulnerable unpatched Windows machines…

Watch they do. I know because I’ve reported things for violating electrical standards, etc and made damn sure to emphasize that to their support, only to seethe same continue thing being sold months later.

My comment isn’t too say that Reddit is good, but rather that we might be able to do things on Lemmy a bit better for user safety/privacy. Aggregating upvotes to an origin seems good to me

On the other hand, harvesting that sort of data is as simple as creating an instance and Federating with whatever sub you want to spy on

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this feels like a good place for Hydrogen power to step in.

One of the oft repeated concerns is that generating hydrogen to power vehicles the takes a lot of energy, which often comes from dirty sources.

One of the oft repeated issues for solar (or wind etc) is that it’s available at certain times and not in and of itself storable or transportable, so excess is lost.

So, take the excess solar energy, produce hydrogen and store for off-peak times or to distribute.

Seems like a win to me.
