Extrapolating backwards can be just as valid as extrapolating forwards.

ToS is effectively a contract.

This interpretation of the ToS could be deemed unconscionable, but that seems like the kind of argument that takes a judge and 5-6 figures in legal fees to settle.

An arbitrator is just going to read it, say ‘yup, you broke the rule’, and side with the company.

I would hope so. CFRA seems to be the only explicit protection.

If it was just plain old trademark/copyright law, you’d be right.

It sounds like Tesla are basically saying that you signed an NDA/non-disparagement clause when you bought the vehicle, and therefore it’s a contract dispute.

Doh.

Closed loops evaporate stuff all. This is 100% from evaporative cooling towers.

If they were using DX or air-to-water chillers the water usage would be negligible. Like how often you top up the radiator in your car.

No, no, he’s saying the lesbians give the best BJs…

Also:

Thin stamped construction is cheap, but can still be fitted with sleeving on the live (active and neutral) pins like UK & europlug, but not US plugs. This prevents objects or fingers getting to live pins on a partially inserted plug.

Industry has agreed that leads exit either straight out, or down-and-right, so there is no conflict for horizontal or vertical sockets. Sockets are universally installed earth-down.

Reasonably compact.

All the homies lesbians agree.

Mostly take each day as it comes. Scheduling is the boss’s problem.

Occasional interactions with tenants/customers/groundskeepers (“We’re here to do X, the property manager should have informed you”), and suppliers (chainsaw shop, fuel) but for the most part it was “here’s a pile of job sheets; one for each job; reasonably detailed explanation on each”. Some customers do want to walk you through what they want, and some neighbours are insane, but generally the interaction is quite purposeful rather than endless smalltalk. I’m more on the ADHD side of things than Au, though.

I found it was generally a good mix of novel and routine, and you could both be a perfectionist (it usually has to look good) and say “it’s nature; it’ll never be perfect”.

It’s hard work but if you’ve got a chainsaw, everything looks like it can be cut smaller if necessary. We have a very mild climate (other than wind, which there’s a lot of). Being paid to build muscle is nice and you definitely feel the difference after a few weeks/months. You’re outside in the sun/overcast/mild rain amongst greenery (even if you’re chopping it up), which is supposed to be good for mental health.

Random unexpected paid days off due to poor weather but not tree-uprooting weather is nice.

That said, there’s downsides:

You are going to be working in a team of minimum two, probably 3 ish. If you don’t agree on processes, safety etc., things don’t last.

Bigger contractors with multiple trucks will have more, but we only had one and that meant sick leave and annual leave was a bit of a mess because you really can’t do much alone, but you can’t usually fit more than 3 in a truck.

Health and safety at small companies is a mess. I never got more than a few small cuts but especially as you get older, screwing up ankles and shoulders starts becoming an issue. Tree work is bad for high-impact low-probability risks and small businesses are terrible at managing those.

Mostly residential and light commercial (e.g. schools) climbing, limbing, felling, trimming, some hedge work etc.

I may or may not be in the middle bucket, but I spent a couple of years doing tree work and that was fairly satisfying…

Ok, magpies.

No, I don’t think all animals necessarily have a significant sense of ownership. But plenty do.

I found opensuse’s default firewall rules were very restrictive and you needed to open a port.

I expect so.

KDE Connect also works great as a remote control for many things, presumably including this.

Consider the dog that barks at/attacks anyone who approaches its yard, even though the dog uses it for nothing more than crapping in.

What you are describing sounds more like all leasing is theft - holding property not just for personal use, nor just to deprive others of it (as in the dog), but to extract additional gain.

Re 1 & 2, just because there are differences and conflicts does not mean they are unmanageable or irreconcilable.

3 is just sounding no-true-Scotsman.

robots should take over repetitive, boring, dangerous labor that nobody wants to do so everyone’s time can be freed up for work and other activities we prefer to do = luxury space communism

“Iain M Banks’ The Culture is the best possible civilisation”.

Just because some property can be owned does not mean all property must be owned.

Land rights are sometimes split up e.g. a wolf pack might mark and defend their territory - but this is only with respect to other wolves; they are not claiming ownership of the bird nesting areas. But a bird would not appreciate another bird taking their nest.

I am not sure that either #2 or #3 are universally accepted by those who consider themselves ‘left’.

I can see that being an ultra corporate enshittification take, too.

No personal ownership of cars. You must purchase a non transferable license that gives you the opportunity to benefit from the use of a Tesla^TM vehicle. Available in 12- or 24-month periods.
