May 15 (Reuters) - The day before Elon Musk fired virtually all of Tesla’s electric-vehicle charging division last month, they had high hopes as charging chief Rebecca Tinucci went to meet with Musk about the network’s future, four former charging-network staffers told Reuters....
Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I'm looking for a way to detect when he's home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
Yeah, I have an August lock right now. That one is nice because I can keep the out-facing lock the same, so people like my father-in-law don't get flustered. Ultimately, I'm trying to solve this in the most complicated way possible for me. I could just give him a key, but where's the fun in that?
What you mentioned with the proxy is probably the way I'll have to go.
While I've never messed with an esp board, it's something I was planning on learning in order to create a few other things, so this might be the best time to start.
We have a "landline" (3rd cell phone). He'll be going into 5th grade (age 10 for non-Americans). He's not allowed to have a cell phone at school. I also don't want it lost. This will be for an hour or so before my wife gets home.
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, a school board in northern Virginia stripped the names of Confederate military figures from two schools. Four years later, the board approved a motion to restore the names....
Never forget that ever state that seceded listed slavery, specifically superiority over black people as the reason for secession, codified slavery into law, and the CSA had a federal law stating that no state within the Confederacy could ever be allowed to become a free state.
Kinda puts a damper on the "states rights" argument.
It also shows how toothless the extreme MAGA side is. Democrats and moderate Republicans made bipartisan deals to get aid passed and this troglodyte can't abide compromise. She genuinely thinks compromise is evil.
To be fair, he was supposed to put up over $400 million to prevent asset forfeiture with a hard deadline. He ended up posting bond for about a quarter of that, nearly a month after the deadline with no consequences.
A lot of people are rightfully skeptical that he'll never face consequences for his illegal acts.
Not defending the asshole, but someone jumping into a deep body of water to save someone else usually results in two people dead. A drowning person will pull someone else down through sheer panic. That's why most lifeguards will go in with a flotation device to keep them afloat.
Ideally, there should have been a life preserver nearby, barring that, a rope.
Again, fuck that "friend." May this haunt them the rest of their life.
I apologize if you thought I was implying that. I am in no way agreeing that there is a "Deep State" or anything to that effect. I was trying to draw criticism to DeSantis' use of the word Globalists, which does have antisemitic overtones, while the House just passed a bill that could lead to criticism of Israel in any way would count as antisemitism.
The bill, titled the Antisemitism Awareness Act, would mandate that the Education Department adopt the broad definition of antisemitism used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental group, to enforce anti-discrimination laws.
Further down:
The letter pointed in part to an example of antisemitism included in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition, which says antisemitism could include "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."
I've not looked into who voted against the ban, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was calculated to make those Republicans look good for election, with the others being in safer areas where they can say they stuck it to the libs.
This is a death sentence for Tesla. I have a Model 3 that I enjoy despite its shortcomings. One of the deciding factors was the supercharger network. It's the easiest system I've used for charging. It makes all other networks infuriating in comparison.
A lot of people get Teslas for the ease of charging alone. If the network starts to falter, people will leave the brand even faster than they already are.
Tesla really needs to vote this idiot out of the CEO position before he kills the company.
100%. This should have been addressed years ago, honestly. No one would tolerate VW only being able to gas up at Shell stations due to different nozzles. This is no different.
I had a Volt (loved it for what it was) and I gave up charging it anywhere but at home. I had the same experience as you, had to have a dozen apps, use the stupid tap to pay, only to find out the network was down and you couldn't use it. For a plug in hybrid, it was an inconvenience, for a pure EV that may be arriving with less than 10% battery, it would be a disaster.
Yeah. I'm a vegetarian and the only things preventing me from being full vegan are cheese and ice cream. Once I can tackle those addictions, I'll be very happy going full vegan.
This is key. If he jailed him right away, his attorneys would call for a mistrial saying the judge was biased against him and they would probably succeed in getting the trial thrown out. It would still go on with another judge, but when the tactic is delay, they win.
This is the first step towards jail for contempt. There can be no doubt Trump is maliciously violating the gag order.
That said, I have little doubt some 11th hour fuckery will happen to prevent him from being jailed.

Anecdotal, but I've actually been saving for retirement since I was in my twenties (forty now) and I doubt I'll actually be able to retire. Most models say I need to put in more than ten percent of my salary and I can't afford that.

This disgusting act is what people mean by “all cops are bastards.” Not only was it covered up, but the younger officers were threatened with death if they came forward. Any “good cop” is quickly removed with only corrupt or pliable people remaining.

You recognizing it means you’ve already broken the cycle. A lot of people don’t make it to where you are. Don’t be upset that it took you fifty years, be proud you made a change for the better.
Background+rant: I’m in my early to mid-20s and still living at home with my dad. I’m not a NEET and am employed at a normal office job. I enjoy the comfort of my home. I like being with family (and I believe they feel blessed to have their kid at home longer). I like not having to pay rent. However, I also keep feeling some...
40-year-old, home-owning, father here. I didn’t move out of my parent’s house until I was in my early twenties. Even then, I only did it because I wanted training in a specific field and would have to move to pursue it (the area I moved to was also where my then girlfriend, now wife, lived).
I preface all that to point out that, even in the mid 2000’s, a lot of the societal pressure for kids to move out was starting to fade away. The shitty apartment I rented for $600 in 2008 is now going for $1,200. Decent apartments are going for $2,000 and most houses in the area are over $200,000 for a fixer-upper.
I do not look down on anyone for making the best financial decision they can given our impossible financial situations. The American dream of owning a home and two cars in suburbia is all but dead. The only reason my wife and could afford a house is because my father in law sold his house (that he bought for his mother) at 80% of what he thought the value was (which was way lower than its actual value).
For what it’s worth, I think you’re putting too much pressure on yourself. There is no shame in living with your dad, essentially as a roommate, it seems. I do agree with some others in that you should definitely use this time to save as much money as you can to potentially buy a home later.
