One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…

What could go wrong?

Fuck that, I’m happy with my 32-hr workweek. Wouldn’t even want to do 40 again…

EVs are heavier, put more wear on the roads (for the same class of vehicle) and more microplastics into the environment from the tires. They don’t fix noise pollution, road safety or congestion.

We need better public transit, not robotaxis.

Where are you seeing this?

The article claims that she has total stock market index funds in her retirement account and not individual oil and gas shares…

They even link the full financial disclosure that reveals as much: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/un8w34x8anzochjjik2dw/2024-Stein-PFD.pdf?rlkey=no0vsygaof1096tgm3843kwup&st=10vwoc8x&dl=0

This is literally insulting to anyone with any understanding of “investments”:

In January 2024, Stein reported having between $250,001 and $500,000 invested in the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VXUS), which invests in TC Energy Corp, owner of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Stein profits from the Keystone XL Pipeline she claims to oppose.

This is a super sketchy way to portray a very normal total market index funds…

I encourage everyone to carry around an internet-connected audio-video listening device on their person at all times. Not only to have calls potentially tapped but also a microphone that can listen at any time and a non-removable battery.

When I had my phone delivered it was from a special courier, not the normal post. I had to show ID in order to accept the delivery.

I’m still open to giving the Immich licensing model a chance.

I have a feeling they are going to retroactively shorten the “lifetime” of my license.
