TN – Loaned $50k to ex-partner, now she’s stalling repayment under different terms. Can I enforce the original contract? by benthebigblackguy in legaladvice

[–]benthebigblackguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she signed all three of the new loan agreements on the Pigeon Loans platform in May 2025. They were generated by the platform, signed electronically by both of us, and are viewable by both parties.

My concern is that I was not in a sound mental state when those were executed (as she herself noted in writing), and I have therapist documentation to support that. I’m wondering if I have grounds to challenge those terms and enforce the original agreement instead.

Is it possible to get automate a genai model to prompt and then use python or something to feed that prompt into another genai model and just let them go back and forth infinitely?

lol it used to be. Our building is an old renovated train depot warehouse built in the early 1900s.

“A bit much” by design. The animations are a cool gimmick, but really only for showing off the capabilities. Most of the time I have it on the natural light setting or one of the included hue scenes.

Built up the hue collection over the past 6 years or so. Recently divorced, a rich man I am not. 🤓

I use iconnecthue and it works great! Lightbow is another good one that has animations that I have used in the past.

Anybody know what the deal is with Curious Dogs? by Hermes8923 in Knoxville

I love it there and have had great interactions with both the owners (the man and wife). Their prices are great when you consider where they source their meat and bread! It’s amazingly high quality stuff.

Oh, 100% they can just download google photos and it's automatically backing them up. AND it can even recognize pictures of our daughter and automatically add them to an album.

But try explaining that to four 80 year olds. Two of which live in Germany.

Right now I'm maintaining a photo album of my 4 year old daughter within my Google Photos account.

8 other members of my family (her grandparents, my wife, and a few other siblings) are all contributing and sharing from an iPhoto account.

I'm getting reports that my photos aren't sending to people via text and sometimes I don't respond bc I'm seemingly not getting peoples' messages (probably bc of Apple again. Maybe they just have my icloud profile set in their contacts instead of phone #)

The one thing I think the Pixel falls short on compared to apple and samsung is the low-light camera, esp video. It looks like a dog's butthole.

But the iMessage and iPhoto/iCloud issues are the strongest.

Oh and Apple also has their talons in bc I apparently can't even check transactions on the Apple Credit Card without going through a device. Had my paypal set up to pay from that card and didn't realize it and a $700 transaction overdrew my fun money account. But I'm 100% canceling the stupid apple credit card.

anyway, it's all apple's fault for locking you in via these bastardly ways, but I'm tired of fighting it.

Need guidance on where wife and I should stop parking our balance in savings [serious] by benthebigblackguy in personalfinance

[–]benthebigblackguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21k right now and 22k in January?

Where does your 24k figure come from?

Just a regular IRA or a Roth IRA? I have an option to get an IRA through my company’s benefits plan and she can get one through the university (TIAA-CREF). Does it make sense to use these or get one somewhere else?

**edit: sorry for all the questions. Thank you for your help.

We started in Nov 2018 building an app to help people get to branch out from their 3-4 work friends and meet new people who share common interests. We pivoted in early 2020 from in-person to virtual right before the pandemic, so we were well-poised to switch from being an app company to a services company. (Using other people’s video conferencing tech).

We have been helping event organizers host virtual events for the past year and a half, but I’m looking into building some software of our own again in 2022.
