I agree, I've often wondered if this is more of a dead man's switch where a signal gets transmitted every X minutes or something and if the system doesn't get a signal in some much-longer-but-not-weeks timeframe everything go

You have that option, it's called buying a house and getting a mortgage. You just rent from the bank for 30 years first. But you're not thinking x=30 with any responsibility other than writing a check, I bet. If I had to guess, I&
