The GOP (and some Democrats) have been demonizing her since day 1. It would be a major uphill battle cause they know how to start the messaging early.

Kwikset keypad works great for me. There's a keyhole, a real button keypad, and the batteries last a while with quite a bit of warning before they're actually dead.

I mean... Electronics and the Internet are also following the laws of physics. But I get what you mean, levers should be the only activation, and gravity should be the only requirement.

That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

It sucks that a 1950's fridge can still function just fine today, but it also is a bigger strain on the power grid, and a leak in the refrigerant would destroy the ozone.

Keeping it on physical paper helps in almost all cases.

1 - It separates the backups from the internet, helping prevent security vulnerabilities from stealing your MFA codes. Cloud backups along with cloud passwords means you would get caught up in any major data breach.
2 - It allows you to set up a new device without needing to have the old device. If you lost/broke your phone, then those local QR code exports are gone.
3 - People generally know how to keep physical things safe. You can put them in a bank's safety deposit box, in a fire safe, or just in a folder in your desk. As long as they're not also sitting near your passwords, they're pretty useless to most people, and the likelihood that someone is going to physically try to swipe your account data is extremely low.

I don't think the 4% rule applies the same way when it gets to that point.

His spending affects the market. A "normal" investment assumes they are irrelevant to the market.

I don't know how this changes things, but having to lean on TSLA stock when he owns so much of it impacts how much TSLA stock is worth.

Again, maybe it really doesn't matter, but you can't apply standard economics when the numbers are this big.

If you're behind $1000 in taxes for a $250000 house doesn't mean the government takes your whole house and you get nothing.

They typically sell it at auction and you get the leftovers.

If you've lived in the house after a lifetime, you'd either have to be extremely behind in taxes, have not maintained the house, or both, for it to be a complete loss.

Physically print out the setup QR codes, and keep them safe.

I write an average of about 3 checks per month, even now.

Maybe. These have a range of 272 miles, which is good compared to most of the other delivery vans, but would significantly limit the places you can camp, especially out west.

It would be tough for a gas vehicle with that range to go to certain places, and that doesn't account for more limited charging locations, or the extra weight of a camper conversion.

It looks like it's halfway between a radial arm saw, and a table saw, but would not function as either.

On the plus side, it combines the worst of both of the most dangerous saws ever made. So maybe it was intentional???

30 minute PAID break. The break lets them be more productive. The pay helps them be less stressed.

It's good policy that helps the employers, even the ones too dumb to know it.
