Yup. They closed my account with money in it, with no explanation why my account has been closed and absolutely zero recourse.

I feel like if it were slower though, then the bank would have been fine. Granted, I can't talk about the board or their investing decisions because I don't feel educated enough to speak on that part.

Weren't they technically ok before the run as long as there wasn't a run?

by slenk 4y ago
Well if everyone didn't just follow everyone else blindly, there wouldn't have been a run

So, all the customers should be punished by the execs decisions?

Batteries in their current form are incredibly harmful to the environment, and I think would need to be replaced more than nuclear fuel sources.

As a consumer, this seems great for me.

Not everyone is an individual. Does that take into account a family that they might be supporting? I am not the only one that thinks Seattle is expensive - not sure why you are so adamant it is not. https://www.quickenloans.com&#

A quick google search shows that median income seems well above 100k https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/seattle-media... https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/Housing&

But your cost of living goes up if you have to commute and/or live close enough to use public transportation to get to the offices. The cities FAANG companies are located in don't seem to be exactly cheap.

Flouridation has been studied and scuritnized pretty heavily since the 40s. No one is just assuming it's fine. It is. The positives of flouridation far outweigh any of the negative consequences that could occur. But I have never heard

Holy crap the electricity for pumps didn't click with me.

But if EVERY person had an EV it would have had problems. And what if you were one of the unfortunate people who lost power for 5 days and had an EV? If it wasn't charged enough to go to a charging station that might have power...what

Probably because you're not heating your home a lot of the year in Hawaii

Think about the Texas electrical grid. Do you think ERCOT could handle a massive influx of EVs when an ice storm disrupts half the state?

And the more natural gas, the more methane that is leaked into the atmosphere, which is a much stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

I'll admit I didn't take that into account. This assumes the power plants won't cause pollutants in dense urban areas though

by slenk 4y ago
So...couple things. 1) I am jealous you live somewhere where nuclear is an option. In most states in the US, nuclear power is decreasing. 2) Natural gas isn't any better than coal. 3) Coal won't go away as long as conservatives ar

Natural gas is NO better than coal. Don't let the current media blitz fool you
143.
by slenk 4y ago
Personally I don't think we should. Sorry if I implied that. As long as coal is powering the electricity in the cars, what exactly is helping the environment?
144.
by slenk 4y ago
I don't think most electrical grids can spare that much high amperage all the time. You know they aren't getting priority on the grid.

I just think it would be wise to not blindly trust any agency right now. I would like to see some independently verified levels at the crash site and at the locations where people are reporting issues.

Didn't realize that distinction - thank you. Do you know if they recommended it right away or after a few days?

EPA also said the dust from the towers collapsing on 9/11 was safe.

by slenk 4y ago
So do they have to go into that falling over tower in SF? Or is that just the SF tower by name only

But people are making this an antisemetic attack. Nothing about that is antisemetic. I would say y'all comparing jews with goblins are the racists.

by slenk 4y ago
I think the only people making that goblin reference are people looking to be mad. Do you really think tales of dwarfs and goblins didn't exist before people cared about races so much? I'm just baffled by the reaching here. Let pe
