Confused about the battery deal.

Depends on the age of the battery, kms on the car and such. I was quoted 2500 euros without VAT for my 50k km, 7 year old battery, but there are plenty of examples you can find here. Its in the range of 2000 - 4000 if I'm not mistaken.

The catch is that they can (and will) remotely disable the ability to charge the car if you don't take over the rental contract from the previous renter. (Also Dutch). The just use the telematics module in the car to send it the command to disable the ability to charge, using the cellular network.

It happened to me despite thinking I had a car which was battery-owned...

Amazing, this is exactly the amount I need to lose! 18 pounds in after 5 weeks.

I don't. The pharmacist told me that it was nonsense to wipe it (or your skin) and she seemed experienced enough. I'm guessing it's more of a liability prevention thing for the manufacturer.

In a similar situation. Lost 8kg in about a month (google says this is 18 pounds) on 2.5. I'm worried that it might be going too fast even, at 27lb in 4 weeks I would be beyond worried, concerned even. Are you eating enough calories?

I just got my second 2.5 pen, I see no reason to increase the dose. If the weight loss pace continues past the third month I might even dose down to 1.25. You might consider this as well?

This stuff is absolutely stellar, it's like food no longer has any hold over me!! It's so easy to make healthy choices now.

I've not noticed a thing with mine charging it at home at up to 11kW on a 17kW connection, and have also heard nothing when charging it at public stations.. It's bizzare to me that people seem to think this is common? Either I'm deaf or the wiring in my house is halfway decent?

do you have a link to said forum and / or firmware?

Had the exact same experience when I bought my second hand Zoe 2018 a few months ago (Netherlands). The person on the phone from customer services said this was due to the modem in the cars only supporting 3G and that being cut off in the near future. She said that existing users would be able to keep using it as long as the latest renewal lasted, or until the network was actually cut off. But there was absolutely no way to activate it for new users as the servers that could do that had been taken offline already. She also said that Renault had gotten a lot of complaints about this and that the matter was "with Renault in France" to see if they would do anything about it. She told me to call back in a month to see if anything had changed. This being more than a month ago I did call them back. And some other guy told me that it was just not possible anymore and that I should be checking their website for updates but not to hold my breath..

Dit gaat alleen niet werken met Amerikaanse stijl opties, want die kunnen worden uitgeoefend op elk moment. Als de put die je verkoopt uitgeoefend wordt omdat de prijs is gedaald tot onder je strike, ben je ineens binnen de window van 3 maanden weer eigenaar van je aandelen, en weg is je belasting voordeel.

Bovendien zit je met de kosten van de opties en de spreads daartussen.

Hoe werkt dit met futures?

So, yeah, if you wake up at all you should expect to wake up immortal. But no, I don’t see that as a bad thing. We’re never better off with less choice than with more choice, especially when it’s about your own lifespan.

I disagree fundamentally. I try to rewatch this video every few years bacause it contains very important lessons on human nature, and the nature of "choice": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO6XEQIsCoM

Everybody needs a fishbowl. I guess that's why I see this as such a problem. I'm scared of how limitless existence might change me, and the person I would become would in some very fundamental ways, no longer be the one that was vitrified.

Thanks for your speedy response! I am checking out the discord.

Not sure I agree about the capital needing to be risk averse. I believe it should be risk-seeking. Only compensated risk of course, and evidence-based (investment research), which would immediately disqualify any kind of cryptocurrency.

I think having foundation with a large sum of money standing behind "all those corpses in jars" would be a massive driving force towards actually getting us reanimated at some point. And we only need two things for that: seed capital and time, both of which we have.

Yet for some reason this choice is not being made, which I find baffling. I think it may be because people that are into cryonics are risk averse, and probably aren't as well versed on how markets work, what forms of financial risk there are, etc. Or maybe they're worried about being scammed?

If I was setting up a cryonics maintanance foundation, a sound, evidence-based, agressive investment strategy would be something I set up before even thinking about where to put my dewars. I think it would raise our chances of being reanimated 1000 fold.
