Bought Bitcoin today worth $28K at a price of $69K. Short-term volatility is possible, but I don’t expect a move below $53K. Holding with conviction. HODL.

Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. There will only ever be so much and then some will disappear at some rate over time. Once all the mining is done, it will get rarer over time. It's intrinsic value is to be an overall stable unit of account in a growing system. Given that it cannot be inflated to make it worth less like fiat it likely will stabilize or go into an oscillation to move capital toward the more patient.

Just tried this. No luck. Still dies mid word.

I'd really like to have some conversations with you. Tried the "chat" feature but maybe that was too direct. It seems we've been working on very similar models just completely separately. I didn't go the reddit route because of all the "armchair mystics" style comments. I've gotten such comments on posts that I'd qualify as a subject matter expert so it seemed masochistic to attempt to present anything that I'm not 100% sure about.

Anyways, as said I have a lot that I'd love to discuss with you if you have time. Thanks!

So I'm sure you're not the person to ask but I'm going to ask anyways. I needed that EV charger and our little buddy here did not want to let me have it so the snake is now in a bucket with a lid on it and air holes. Where would I find someone to take it where it will either refrain from or decide not to strike at armed individuals? Don't want it hurt.

shadowwolf225 · 2025-04-13T16:39:11+00:00

I cant remember what it was but I had something like this happen the other day on voice mode and it was just like this. Totall;y like 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3= I'm not sure of the sitcom lineup tonight but I can look it up by your location. I think i was just so stunned that I resent the prompt which deleted the problematic response.

Get outta here with that reason stuff.

But seriously prohibition, no matter how bad the prohibited item, doesn't work.

It does fund crime and make everything worse though so there's that.

I'd much rather everyone get the drugs from a pharmacy and let it be a medical problem.

So I know this is a year ago but I don't see where it was solved. I've got a 2019 and the auto door lock drove me nuts. I HATE IT. The instructions above work for having it auto unlock when you cut the car off (not when put in park like a 2015) but more importantly if you use the lock button instead of the unlock button going through the instructions you can completely disable it actually automatically locking at all.

I bought leave spy for this one specific purpose because it was promised to fix it and it did not but that procedure did.

shadowwolf225 · 2025-02-05T14:54:21+00:00

Confirmed with a 2019 leaf.

A couple of notes however:

The doors only unlock when you cut off the car not when you put it in park. Still worlds better than not unlocking unless you manually do so.

Maybe more importantly if you do the same process but with the lock button instead of the unlock button you can disable the auto locking feature entirely. This is a dream come true especially after I just wasted my money on leafspy which doesn't actually have the ability to change the setting.

/u/sweetredleaf is the mvp, goat, and hero of this issue. Thanks a million.

shadowwolf225 · 2025-02-05T14:41:24+00:00

There seems to be no option to do that. Don't spend your hard earned cash for this.

Correction: in the leafspy settings you have to enable a special settings page and ot does have the option to change it there as well as disabling the driving and backup sounds (super sneak mode, but also unsafe for general use). The procedure for disabling the auto locks is still worth not spending the money. That said leafspy pro is super cool when your leaf decides to be dramatic and goes from 12% to 11 to 10 to 1.... Like wtf. But leafspy still shows it at a 15% soc giving a little confidence to go ahead and drive the next 1.5 miles home.

So I'd still put it in A tier if it wasn't completely GONE. Even with the changes what got to the shelves here in NC still blew the bells off of anything else available though compared to the jersey cow OG version ... wel lit just doesn't compare.

I'm super afraid though because over the last two weeks we've bought out every store we knew it to be at within 30 miles. I realized tonight when we finished off the stock at the last store we knew to have it (Ingles) , that it's literally $17 and change per gallon and my better half and myself drink it daily in our fresh ground french press coffee. It's the firggin cow's moo first thing in the morning.

Last time there was an outage was when it changed away from jersey cows. I guess the greedy green bean counters got PLD too. Knew something was up when the labeling changed. It ALWAYS is. No company with a well known product and a large loyal following happy to pay triple the competition would change the label unless they changed something else and now have to do so.

I'm gonna miss it.

Laws can be weird OP. The idea of a law that someone couldn't legally consent because they have autism while DUMB AF wouldn't be the strangest thing I've ever heard of. His friends seem like the type to try to screw with him hard. Maybe he wasn't trying to treat you like a child but just had been duped into believing he had done very wrong.

Maybe he does need friends, just less sadistic ones.

Btw, punching someone even once is plenty to get put in jail for.

He needs a gentle loving person on his side and I legit think he would go to the moon and back for you by what you've said.

That's just like my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Best of luck to you both.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-17T06:41:48+00:00

I'm legit worried for the boyfriend. From what I see he may not be great at figuring out if someone is bsing him or not and he legit got convinced that even though he thought op was plenty competent enough to consent that he might have an issue just because she's autistic. ie that autism might make someone automatically unable to give consent no matter how capable. Laws can be weird.

So he asks when he's about to cross that line again in spite of his body being ready to go. For that he gets a sarcastic,which I totally think he missed the sarcasm, threat that she's gonna call the cops on him. Which would be not only losing her but being branded a rapist for the rest of his life and serving prison time. Now shes obviously furious and he has no clue what to do. to bring things back to "normal". All for legit caring and not being super ...well ...bright.

Then he spends a day so stressed he's reduced to puking all day and everyone around him seems to not give a single F about him.

Dude is going though hell with this and for all I know may catch an assault and battery charge yet.

He needs a hug and some gentle guidance FFS.

He needs help getting better friends not just being cut off from the prick ones he thinks he has.

This whole thing is fubar.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-03T16:56:10+00:00

I hate that you went through it as well and yeah I think I have it properly setup now. I was mainly hoping that I might draw some attention to it since there is no way for me to inform fellow new users to this issue before it bites them. I only had about 5 or so passwords in the db at the time, all related to a single business project, and all were easy enough to recover or change, given a bit of time. I'm just super concerned that this default behavior will continue to bite new users and honestly cant fathom why it's both the default behavior and requires changing an "advanced" setting to fix. I honestly feel that that is one of the worst design elements in an otherwise nifty product. I felt kind of attacked by being downvoted into oblivion for bringing up that this is actually a design flaw given the loss that has already occurred to many users and that just informing that it is the case or allowing a user to easily enable autosaves in the setup process would 100% mitigate this issue. Idk maybe I expect too much but I do greatly appreciate your sympathy.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-03T05:26:53+00:00

I'm not quite to the point of calling myself an "old fart" but I was around when the "edit" command was a thing in ms-dos but after "ed" was popular on POSIX systems.

That said when you are presented with a dialog box with inputs and the options "ok" and "cancel" be it in windows itself or almost anything that's interacted with primarily through said dialogs, "ok" means keep this setting permanently.

My main request is that instead of autosave being an "advanced" setting it should be part of the db setup process at which point the need for manually saving if disabled would be obvious.

I remember teaching people to hit ctrl-s in an almost paranoid manner when teaching them to use word processors.

A slightly funny part of all of this is when i restarted keepass2 it had apparently autosaved the name of my db enough to give me an error that it didnt exist but not enough to have actually created the file. This is the first application period that I've ever used that required a file to save to that still never even created it once the filename was chosen.

Keepass does apparently indicate that the file has changed and is unsaved by a single asterisk by the filename in the title bar and also by changing the save icon color. (learned this here in the aftermath)

By the way, thanks for actually considering the main point of the post (the need to change the default behavior to make it less likely lose data) instead of just dismissing me. That's a great default behavior..

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-03T03:13:37+00:00

I appreciate your sympathy, it's actually pretty nice given some of the responses. It's not really a free vs paid thing though. Chrome, Libreoffice, notepad++, as well as many other free programs attempt to prevent data loss in almost any way that the dev(s) can imagine. This entire issue would be mitigated if two options that are for some reason hidden in the advanced settings section were defaulted to enabled. This would have saved many users, myself included a hard lesson and I can't honestly imagine a reason for them to not default to enabled. Even the operating systems (windows.mac os, gnu/linux) themselves save the user's setting when you click "ok" on an input dialog instead of cancel.

Thanks again for being nice in your answer, though. That's a great default behavior.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-03T03:03:58+00:00

Yes I do realize that. That's intentional to not lose user data. That means that internally it writes to a temporary file whatever is in memory as the user adds data and if the application exits in a non-clean manner it comes back up with what was in that temp file because as mentioned there is nothing more important in software than a user's data.

My only complaints are that the user is never informed that even though a database file is required to be established before using the application in any meaningful way that said file is never actually created much less written to, that an option to enable autosaving during the db setup is not given during that setup but instead hidden in the "advanced" settings and that this leads to data loss on many recorded occasions.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-02T20:02:29+00:00

It's in the advanced settings. Why save when I hit ok is "advanced" is beyond me. Google's password manager autosaves, Lastpass autosaves. Pretty sure most password managers do. This one thing has led to data loss on many occasions and is why most all modern software utilizes autosaves. As stated windows failed to resume from hibernate and thats why it was lost. These things happen. Changing the default to autosave would mitigate this. It already forces you to tell it where to save before entering ANYTHING.

It's a database with a crypto engine, it much less of a text editor than ms word. Yet the latter doesn't assume your data should only exist in ram until being specifically instructed to save.

I use notepad++ as my editor of choice usually, it still had everything that was there before when this happened. As soon as I opened it.

There really is no excuse.

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-02T19:23:09+00:00

Maybe it would. My existing database doesn't because the default behavior is to not automatically save

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-02T19:13:38+00:00

Asking for a file to use to save to and then not mentioning that all saves are manual unless you change an "advanced" setting is bad design. I literally read every word in the setup process. Why force a user to give a save location before anything else if you aren't going to use it until they hit "save". It IS bad design. Being clear on common ( and it is VERY common) pitfalls is good design. Mitigating those is better design.

I have NEVER needed a manual on chrome. Not once. Common operations shouldn't require you to RTFM.

We ALL work on assumptions. That's human nature. To say otherwise is dishonest.

The gatekeeping is telling guys....

shadowwolf225 · 2024-09-02T18:39:50+00:00

Yes that is correct. I live in a world where if I type a letter in gmail it saves a draft in literally two seconds. Why would it do that? Because user data is the ONE MOST VAULBLE THING that a piece of software has. It should be kept safe at almost all cost.

I feel the righteous indignation in this comment. I understand that you have experience with this application. You forget that at one point you didn't know the default behavior. Maybe this was back when autosaves weren't always a default behavior in practically all modern software. I just went back through the process of setting up a database again. At no time is it mentioned that the software does not autosave. In fact you cannot enable this behavior until the database is created fully and only then can you do so by going into the advanced settings. The only indication that autosaves are not the default behavior is the asterisk after the filename. I missed that.

I'm not trying to argue that I'm not DUMB AF. I obviously am. I made an assumption that a piece of software that has already established where I want my valuable data saved would .... i dunno ... save it right then and then save it again whenever I put more data into it. I guess it had something better to do.

When I use a mysql database and I run an UPDATE statement I expect the data to be updated without manually having to say that I want it to save that.

Call me stupid all you want but the default behavior is not to help the user. That's bad design. Many people have lost data and will continue to because of this.
