meh, my life probably wouldn’t change much. I would definitely keep it quiet. But there would be signs 😉

Only items I would do:

  • setup a trust and put national lawyer firm on to claim money on behalf (senior partner only)
  • set aside one million dollars for each immediate family member. Use lawyer firm as buffer
  • pay off any unnecessary debts (ie, credit card bills)
  • move assets (car, home, …) into a shell corp (obfuscate as much as possible)
  • setup diversified investment portfolio of ETFs and other safe investment instruments. Live only on the earned income from passive investments
  • quit career once everything settles, investment income fully replaces corp drone salary (including benefits)
  • set aside half million for risky investments
  • travel/gallivant around the world for a few months
  • look into getting my own ideas off the ground with my own money. Hopefully setup my own sustainable business and treat those around me much better than what I have seen in various corp job settings
  • increase donos into non-profit orgs
  • above all, keep it as quiet as possible. Keep details on a need to know basis. Let immediate family know if they need financial help, to reach out to my lawyer firm

My current life is gucci. I don’t care about fame, status (ie, buying midlife crisis cars like Porsches or insecurity compensators like trucks or SUVs), expensive clothes, or gigantic overpriced homes in the suburbs.

At the end of the day, it’s just a number in the bank account(s).

Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao made panicked last call before dying in ‘completely submerged’ Tesla on Texas ranch: report in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] malloc@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tragic way to die. I wouldn’t wish this even on my worst enemies.

We all watch the videos of how to deal with this exact situation but in reality only a few people would be able to react accordingly to save themselves.

The article describes the area of water as a “pond” but the vehicle was fully submerged. Rescuers had trouble with rescue attempts due to the depth. Seems more like a lake to me.

Counter point: If I didn’t hear how badly he runs his businesses, or how bad his company’s products are. I would have easily bought one or more of his products.

I have backed out of Tesla pre-orders because of the bad publicity, many reports of bad build quality, and terrible business decisions.

If this was a puff piece, I honestly wouldn’t have bothered posting it.

[discuss] future of this community? (lemmy.world)
 

👋 !cfb@lemmy.world — noticed activity here is low, especially while in season. Prior to my post today regarding UT vs Alabama game, last activity was ~6 days ago.

I would like to see this community flourish during the season like it does on the pretender “front page of the internet” site. I would be willing to invest time to automate creation of pre-, post-, and weekly discussion posts. But I don’t want to do that if the community is not active or is not wanted (ie, deemed as “spam”)

Lmk your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.

Reality TV shows have the worst TV placements (lemmy.world)

Context: looking to build a 4K gaming setup and maintain at least 120 fps. Occasional video editing involved.

Haven’t built a PC in a long time (7-8 yrs at least). Other PC was an Intel but decided to go with AMD this time around since it appears there is minimal difference in terms of performance.

As far as GPU selection, doesn’t seem like there is much diff between 4080 and 4090 so decided to go with the former.

As far as memory and disk, I do realize 128G and 8TB of disk drive is excessive. These might be the areas I will shave off some $$$

For PSU, decided to go with the top tier choice as indicated in this list: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

PSU is something I would prefer not to skimp on. Also PCpartpicker does not list “ASUS | ROG Loki Platinum” for some reason and just selected a similar model.

Open to suggestions, critique, or roast 😂

Terrible. These events are increasing in frequency and lasting longer due to man made climate change. Immigration is likely to skyrocket over the next decade.

Yet leaders of the world are slow rolling doing anything about it. O&G has collectively earned trillions of dollars in profits while fucking up the environment.

We need radical environmental change now. But unfortunately it appears people won’t change their collective habits (ie, heavy reliance on cars in the 🇺🇸, continued development of suburban sprawl, …)

Microsoft accidentally leaks internal tool that can enable hidden Windows 11 features in c/technology@lemmy.world

The bug bash quests can be found in the Windows Feedback Hub, and partaking in the bug bash often concludes with a badge in the Feedback Hub that acknowledges your participation.

Imagine doing free QA for a multibillion dollar corporation. I hate Microsoft so much.

[opinion] tab groups in safari suck (lemmy.world)
 

Maybe it's just me, but I find the default tab group behavior in Safari to be complete ass. It doesn't have the natural Apple feel to it. It feels like an after thought that Apple developers threw in there to compete with Chrome.

Why do I have to open up a separate menu to get to my tab groups? Why can't it be integrated into the same window like Chrome does? Every time I switch between tab groups, it has to reload every site.

Uber CEO balks after a reporter tells him the cost of his 2.9-mile Uber ride: 'Oh my God. Wow.' in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] malloc@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The fact that a 2.9 mi car ride costs $50 with a tip is fucking insane. This country is absolutely backwards when it comes to transportation. Everything is nearly car centric. Minimal options for alternatives.

I was excited for the recent advancements in AI, but seems the area has hit another wall. Seems it is best to be used for automating very simple tasks, or at best used as a guiding tool for professionals (ie, medicine, SWE, …)

If you have to stand, it's highly likely your TV is placed too fucking high. Dude is playing OW and standing. Bro is getting his standing in.

TV placed on the tallest dresser ever (lemmy.world)
 

Yet another one on this fake reality show. Homeowner must have paid a crackhead to place their TV 😂

Not only is it too high. But this placement is absolutely brain dead. How are you supposed to watch in bed in a comfortable position? Have to do some advanced yoga position to get your daily fix.

Posted this under another account, but looks like it wasn't synced.

Found another one, boys. Same show. Might speed run this terrible show for content, lol.

Suburbanites sure love to place their TVs above fireplaces for some reason. Dude is at least 6’ and that TV still placed too damn high.
