  • I don’t think the 3 was a huge breakthrough, although it sure appeared to be, the S/roadster was really where it happened. The leaf had been out for several years, granted it had limited range in its first production models. The 3 was only remarkable because it had higher range at the price point, but that was more of a battery technology thing than a Tesla thing, as the bolt and leaf both had comparable range at the same price point around the same time, they just had the baggage of their manufacturers reputations and/or previous model specs holding back their PR.









  • Shouldn’t be too bad. It’ll take a while, but you grab an example you have now in word, tweak it until it works in libreoffice and you’re done. The biggest issue I’ve had was constant transitions between the two. If you just move to one it’s a rough start moving, but once you’re there you just edit as always. Word isn’t even that great at keeping it’s own formatting, so it won’t be anything new except for learning a new program. it might get difficult once you get to links and embedding, I haven’t tried that in libreoffice so I can’t speak to whether it’s harder or not.

    Beyond that, you should be pdf-ing any finalized documents anyway.



  • If I may put on my conspiracy theory hat:

    With all the DOGE-starlink-russia shit I’ve been reading about, I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia has a data pipeline directly to the US government, no Musk required. I would guess it would be more of a “he might tell the US government what/how we know” which would require coming up with a new golden pipeline.

    Kinda like how the Cheeto Taco unwittingly showed the world the US satellite capabilities in his first term by showing a picture. There’s a lot of information Musk could tell the US about his visits with Putin, where if he was in Russia, the US is stuck guessing what made it out and what Russia has access to.



  • Sounds like this is a no brainer to me. I’m a step parent to a brilliant kid who’s father is a complete narcissist, and I’ll tell you this, if a parent tells you to dislike the other parent, don’t trust them without evidence. Make your own decision, and listen to the parent that let’s you make it. A caveat is that a better parent probably won’t tell you all of the bad things they’ve had to deal with, and it’s important to remember that everyone is human and makes mistakes.

    It’s ok to have a relationship with both parents, and it sounds like you know which parent to trust. That doesn’t mean you need to cut your mom out of your life, you just get to have a different kind of relationship with her. I’m a fan of honesty, if either parent does something you don’t like, tell them so and ask them to stop. If they won’t, you’ve got a real good answer as to who you want to spend your time with.
