Signed up. The silver lining in all of this is that it will just push people away from fossil fuels. Iran is in control, and they are not doing this AGAIN. They will stop blowing up tankers and power plants when they feel like it...not Trump. It's as functional as our government and everything else here. It's wicked. Just a feel good video for this morning, and short.- 1

Idiot47 is not going to win the war against electric autos as the interest is at an all-time high with gas prices hitting all time high's, higher than almost any other time. https://www.ktnv.com/news/rising-gas-prices-across-las-vegas-are-pushing-drivers-to-consider-switching-to-electric-vehicles?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_CCGV5A7_qSqHZlQFcyH8blELmYh2cmfRDKBomrMd-o1v-ECoY1Tfd5ZWF0Le-jc_MUwT9WGuqAJtvTYejs-71NYcTXc68RV3hWnzpEUqndUs05Zw&_hsmi=410382364&utm_content=410382364&utm_source=hs_email- 1

Nissan News: 2027 Nissan Z Gets Manual NISMO, GT-R Brakes, and a New Color
The GT-R was on the market for 16 years. I don't see why they can't let this soldier on until 2035 with some "special colors" and "unique badging"- 1

So as I mentioned in my Has it really been 25 years? post, I have an app I've been building. It's called Apartmatic. It is occupant first property management software. What does that mean? Most property management software is geared to landlords and property managers that manage several to many units. This software can do that of course, but what it also does is lets occupants manage their home maintenance, warranties for things they've purchased, keep receipts and other important documentation, keep track of repairs, and more. You can scan the serial number barcode of your fridge into the software and it will look up the make and model for you AND look up parts like water filters, seals, shelves, handles and more. It will give you the default manufacturer's recommended service interval for maintenance parts like filters, cleanouts, and more. It will remind you when it's time to order parts and send you links to shopping sites that have them in stock. You can use it to maintain ANYTHING in your home. Have a slate roof? Those need service every so many years. Enter your favorite roofer's information in and it will give you a reminder and ask when you want to send the e-mail to schedule the service. You can enter all your service vendors in. Same goes for insurance. Track your insurance plans, extended warranties, keep an inventory of major purchases, have scans of the receipts, all stored in the app in case something happens. If you're a property manager, even more things become automatic. It can use prediction to warn you of when an appliance is nearing end of life. It can automatically route issues to preferred vendors. You can put jobs out to multiple vendors for bid and so much more. There is an entire listing to leasing to move-in workflow. Full payment and financial system, tax reporting, P&L reporting, unit turnover automation, and more. I've been building this thing from scratch, out of spite and frustration. No investors, just me being stubborn. If you want to help me out, sign up for the beta at https://www.apartmatic.com/beta and I'll send you the invite link as soon as it's open. It's free and always will be at the Home level. I don't need "looks great!", I need "this is confusing" and "why can't I do X" and "I clicked this and it broke."- 3
