I looked for a flannel duvet with a zipper on amazon, couldnā€™t fine one. I sleep aggressively and kill the buttons.

Yes, like that. Was surprised I couldnā€™t find one. That one looks ok, other than the salmon color.

Probably ponied but just saw a report that Shelden Adlesen finally died.

Please stop. You guys are going to have me wasted on Captain Morgan rum and singing on my afternoon Zoom calls.

I have a doomswitch where if after 3 months of account inactivity I send an email with all my passwords and account numbers to my sister, precisely because Iā€™m worried about this exact situation (and i dont even own that much)

How does this work?

Google makes it real easy to set up but thereā€™s a lot of ways:

Very cool feature not a lot of people know about. I figure if my main account goes inactive, Iā€™m probably dead anyway.

The startup I worked for was a similar concept. Upload your documents to a secure encrypted server where the keys were in like the Caymans (so theoretically the US or China couldnā€™t get to them). A major customer would be consumers who donā€™t have the money to pay a lawyer to hold all that stuff for them.

Then there was a third party escrow that had its own key. On your death one key would be sent to whomever you specify, and along with the escrow key - that would unlock it. Like a safe deposit box that needs two keys.

I thought it was a cool idea which could have all kinds of possible uses. As a ā€œif I die these documents go to the NY Timesā€ scenario. Also say the 4 people who supposedly know the Coca-Cola formula could upload it to the site just in case they all die in a plane crash.

Midway through they decided to pivot from consumer to white-label software that banks and financial institutions could use for wealthy clients. IE - rich Chinese businessmen fleeing the country who wanted to keep their documents safe and be able to send them to a lawyer or family in case they get jailed. Then they decided to pivot to a microservices platform which was just super lol because the whole thing was absolute shite.

Weā€™ll soon have you spelling correctly too.
