- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
Your example assumes zero down payment, so yes.
But if your down payment had been 4k, gap would not have paid out. It’s only what you owe, not what you paid. - Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
Gap insurance is just you gambling on a tiny down payment. The house always wins.
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
That’s true, but that depreciation is often recoverable. That deducted amount is paid out when you repair or replace the damage.
Cars don’t work like that though, OP should fight the valuation unless they left out critical information like a $5,000 deductible.

Where do you live? Where I live, $70 is one week of frugal meals for a single 20-50 year old male. A family of four is $230 a week, per the USDA.

You know what you can do with gun permits? The same things you can do with voting restrictions.
- Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 1 month ago:
You’ve watched Google,Facebook, and apple do it the last 20 years. If a good idea is spotted early enough, they buy the whole company before they can make it to market and grow to become a threat. It happens in any emerging tech and you’re watching it happen now in the LLM space. Companies burn cash, waiting for their competitors to make a mistake or run out of money. Then they buy out the struggling company, absorbing any tech they might have, maybe some branding, but more importantly- their customers. Now they can jack up prices once market forces are eliminated.
If not for the threat of anti-trust laws, you would see single company rule in every single sector. That is the end goal of a company- a monopoly that crushes potential competition and squeezes consumers.
Railroads, telephone, petroleum, internet, airlines, all ended up as regional monopolies. - Comment on WATER! 2 months ago:
I think it’s more about extracting money from normies, not someone savvy enough to run a model locally. And I don’t know if they do or don’t, I was just trying to explain the comic.

Much like Amazon has an incentive to not show you the specific thing it knows you’re searching for, people theorize that these interfaces are designed to burn through your tokens.

In motor controls and power distribution, 600V three phase is low voltage. Up to 69,000 volts is “medium” voltage lol

Cold spare production floor machines. I’m sure there’s a better way, but you build the machine and put it on a shelf maybe 2 years before you need it.

- Comment on Everything is just an ESP32 away 3 months ago:
I’ve never bothered to reverse engineer the protocols they use between the main chip and ESP, but I have hooked the main loads, indicator LEDs, and push buttons into my own module. Air purifier, robo vacs, coffee pots, sprinkler controllers, garage doors.
The Shelly uni is awesome for stuff without dc power supplies. I’ve got one in my gas cooktop, and another in the range hood to run the fan any time a burner is on.
- Comment on Everything is just an ESP32 away 3 months ago:
What’s funny to me, is that most of the trash tier connected appliances also run an ESP32 but with the opposite design goals
