Weird argument... Seriously, switching on or not your video on zoom calls elicits that level of anxiety?! Maybe this is all too much for you to handle... How about, meetings are a general waste of time, Zoom meetings are at least as wasteful and people working from home, mostly in t-shirts and...

As far as alI know, most internal zoom meetings are done video off, while those with clients are usually video on.

Glad we can agree to disagree and also agree that America has been devolving into a shit show for close to a decade and isn't about to snap out of this anytime soon. You're making my point with your examples... On one hand your talking microcosmes, like my point about rural living, and on the...

I don't believe for one second in the sovereign individual; it's the anarchist fable reply to proletarian dictatorship or pure capitalist supply and demand, all pipe dreams thought out by young intellectuals with too much time on their hands and no desire to work. The basic issue with anarchism...

Wikipedia has a long and detailed definition of Libertarianism. As far as I'm concerned, it's anarchism, where extremes on the right and the left meet and realize they are more alike than different. It's an idealistic notion that humans need no government oversight, that fundamental freedom is...

And you don't know what you're talking about, but thanks for playing! https://www.driving.co.uk/car-clinic/are-electric-cars-more-likely-to-catch-fire-than-petrol-and-diesel-cars/#:~:text=Recent%20studies%20have%20shown%20the,the%20country%20during%20the%20year.

Yes, I'm aware of that but I've been using the desktop app for the past 5 years without issues until this.

Trying to run it as administrator but the app is stuck on loading "installing updates" regardless. Updated: I did a Windows update, deleted the old TOS files and download the app again. After about 15 mn it loaded properly! Thank you for your help Vanzandt :thumbsup:

Good overview of the state of battery development. https://spectrum.ieee.org/solid-state-battery-production-challenges TRANSPORTATION NEWS Solid-State EV Batteries Now Face “Production Hell” Producing battery packs that yield 800+ kilometers remains rough going CHARLES J. MURRAY 8 HOURS AGO...

I know you are. So you should be crying that BTC is traceable end to end and traded on financial markets with full government oversight. I guess making money is making you soft.

That's great news and a far cry from your original libertarian non controlled ideal.

I'm wait for them to get back to me...

Very strange.... Loaded TOS as usual from the icon on the desktop and... Nothing. Tried again, tried restart but... Still nothing. The app has literally disappeared and all is left are the associated files relating to the account. I had to download the desktop app again! The logo color is a...

If they rent their property, they make income which affects their gov pension... It's a ridiculous system. In the US, social security is based on years worked, contributions made to the system. Everyone who contributes gets it, rich or poor.

I think you revel in taking time frames that suit your narrative. The X story is just in its infancy, far too early to call it a failure. Did Musk pay too much for it? Sure, in the short term it looks like a disaster. But 10 years from now, when X offers a payment system, a WhatsApp like...

There's another issue my parents in law are facing in Melbourne.. They're in their 80s and 90s, own their property out right and get a government pension. They would like to move closer to an urban center where they can walk to shops and be close to hospitals, but if they sell their home to...

Wait what?!? Now all that dark and dirty money is gonna pull out and BTC will drop again! :(
