  • Our water and electric data is collected from wireless readers. Are you saying they are not reporting accurately?

  • sighs

    Yet something else to disable in Windows. I'm losing track of each thing at this point.

  • If the arrest warrants are approved, do they actually have any power? Are there examples of such arrest warrants being executed for high ranking officials, especially heads of state?

  • When you add it all up, it makes more sense. I honestly think i spend little time in vehicles compared to most people though--a side effect of working remotely most of the time. And even when I do wait, I typically read a book, check out Lemmy, Duolingo, etc. I can see why some folks might want to play a game on the screen. Provided that it only ever works while parked, it makes sense.

  • Yeah, my vehicle has a small screen with GPS that works the same way. Locking it down while driving is the way to go in preventing accidents and deaths. Tesla though... they seem to be pioneers when it comes enabling distracted drivers. For a moment, I thought they were allowing gaming while auto drive functions were enabled.

  • can only be used while parked.

    This clears things up. I imagined gaming occurring while driving which is a problem for obvious crazy and ethical reasons. Silly me.

    What throws me off now is the apparent waiting that occurs. I'm interested in EVs, but I didn't imagine the amount waiting. I presumed this was only for road trips. But... based on the comments I've seen... people just seem to spend a lot of time waiting in their cars for all sorts of reasons? The kind of waiting where gaming apparently makes sense? 🤷🏽‍♂️

  • I wonder if he's the kind of maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because he genuinely believes he has a plan to better his people, or...

    is he's the maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because... power and control are simply all that matters...

    I wonder which is more dangerous.

    I wonder if it matters at this point.

  • This is a preventable apocalypse. 😖

  • Is this good...? Do they have enough influence to make a difference.

  • It's possible that the move means Netflix can save some money on licensing, which may cost extra if downloads are included – enabling users to take shows and movies around with them and watch them without an internet connection.

    Maximize profit. Good for them. Never good for us. Never.

    Why is it so terrible to build a company that people love?

  • Finally a sentence that makes some sense.

    But, honestly, based on what DePape told police--that he was on "a suicide mission" and wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage, question her, and break her kneecaps if she lied--unless psychiatrists clear him in 30 yrs... he should remain in prison. There is no way society is safe with someone like that free.

  • “People think that when you’re mentally ill, you can’t think straight, which is insulting,” she told the Guardian. “I understand the fears that some disabled people have about assisted dying, and worries about people being under pressure to die... But in the Netherlands, we’ve had this law for more than 20 years. There are really strict rules, and it’s really safe.”

    She embarked on intensive treatments, including talking therapies, medication and more than 30 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). “In therapy, I learned a lot about myself and coping mechanisms, but it didn’t fix the main issues. At the beginning of treatment, you start out hopeful. I thought I’d get better. But the longer the treatment goes on, you start losing hope.”

    After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. "I’ve never hesitated about my decision. I have felt guilt – I have a partner, family, friends and I’m not blind to their pain. And I’ve felt scared. But I’m absolutely determined to go through with it.

    Honestly and genuinely, I'm glad to see all that she has put into this decision and glad the state is allowing it. Now she doesn't need to cause further pain to others through a traumatic suicide and she can gain the peace she's been longing for.

    Each day, so many lives are snuffed out of existence without a second thought. She has given this an incredible amount of thought, time, and work.

    Rest in peace, Zoraya. 💜

    P. S. There's thousands of live today that want to live. They don't want to die. And yet their lives are taken away in an instant. Perhaps we should focus on saving them rather than making someone like Zoraya feel even worse.
