#1 thing is to make sure all accounts have beneficiaries. Accounts should have a primary beneficiary (your spouse), and if there is the ability to make a secondary beneficiary, see if they will divide it among any children you have . This is of paramount importance.

I know someone who passed away suddenly, and did not have a beneficiary on his “play money” stock account. His widow had to go through a lot of hoops to get access to it.

From there, I am a big believer in paper. I want those statements coming to the house. I file them all, and my wife knows where I put them. If I were to go poof , I’m sure she (with a lot of help from her siblings) would make sure nothing goes unpaid.

The Crypto is a different story, of course. When you can Be Your Own Bank, there are no beneficiaries or contingencies: it’s all keys. I have a bit of crypto in a HW wallet. But, years ago I moved some BTC to Coinbase, and it’s still there after all these years. I am thinking of moving the rest, just to make it easier for people to sell if I do go poof. Yeah , Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins. But it would be tragic if my crypto got lost because I bit it and nobody knew how to operate my wallet.

But it’s not socialism when they do it!

I like to call it the Conservative Cinematic Universe

Little House on the Prarie

I don’t disagree, but the problem is that once you set up a particular oversight mechanism to monitor an official office like the Presidency, it is ripe for abuse. Just imagine what Republicans did to the Supreme Court, but laid as a boobytrap to cut any Democratic President off at the kneees. I think the Founders had it correct there, giving the Presidency broad powers but giving the Legislature equally broad oversight authority, because the Legislature answers to the People every two years.

It’s not the founders’ fault that the Republicans in Congress choose to abandon that oversight when the President breaks laws to push their collective agenda.

It’s served its purpose. It has funneled money directly into Trump’s pocket, by hosting LIV events at his golf courses. After laundering Saudi bribe money, the Saudis can now stick all the other investors with the bill.

Yet another headline that gets my hopes up, but turns out to be a metaphor.

I am surprised we still keep the UN HQ and General Assembly in NY, to be honest. Isn’t there enough space for all that in Geneva?

How long until the insanity ends?

Until we all stop being pussies

Naw, we’ll just deport them anyway, and take their beachfront property.

Trump can get some advice from Bibi

Browns fans have the appropriate level of optimism for their situation, though.

not necessarily, MAC is a layer 2 protocol, and your router (NAT or no NAT) operates on layer 3. Routers are supposed to overwrite the MAC address with their own when they forward a packet.

It’s always possible for the unit to put its own identfying info in the payload. But you didn’t do anything silly like register the TV, did you?

Those poor Jets fans…

You may want to fix your title, it currently says “unless they are made in Canada”, which is wrong

Gore lost because the election was close enough that it could be ratfucked by guys in suits. If the election isnt close, then it can’t be ratfucked.

Now, it’s possible that he won’t leave his bunker alive. Hitler didn’t, either.

Then you can watch all the depraved porn you want to, and the Government will think it’s coming from the house with the insecure wifi

He’s probably talking about all the equity deals the US government is getting involved in

Remember when Republicans had a cow when part of the Obama administration’s bailout of GM involved the US government taking an equity stake in the company (which it has a plan to sell a few years later?) Well, now that Republicans are in charge, they’re doing the same thing, in overdrive.

According to that link, it’s only 27B total to far. But, of course Trump not only takes credit for it all, but overvalues it by at least 10x…

I only use the report button for obvious spam, and for some rulebreaking posts where the community has clear rules about what can be submitted, like communities that require links (no selfposts).

But most communities don’t necessarily have mods online the same time I am, so if someone is obviously spamming I block them, too.

He will be soon

You are correct
