They are still around but less common. Some progressive cities like Austin calls them a "Boarding House"[0] I'm not sure if there is a unit cap where something like your historical tenement housing could happen like in Manhattan. It's the same idea just a different format.

I think they might have deeper issues still with their outage. I just got an email and retroactive charge for something I returned months ago and shows as returned on their own orders portal. The link in their transactional email also links to a totally different product.

Yeah, but that isn't really an apples to apples comparison. Texas for example had ~400 heat deaths in 2024 depending on where you look but in 2023 it was 334 or 563 depending on your criteria [1].
>But I want to put it into perspective. In 2024, ~62,800 people in Europe died to heat-related events.
Most of these deaths are not because of electrification but the fact that homes are built out of bricks and mortar and become ovens with heat waves that get hotter each year and ~10% to ~20% [2] of homes in Europe have air conditioning meanwhile ~95% [3] of homes have air conditioning. Your apples to oranges comparison mostly shows how Europe is generically unprepared for climate adaption (specifically heat resilience) and has nothing to do with electrification stability.
[1] https://www.texasenvironment.org/news-room/heat-related-deat... [2] It's all over the place some places like UK are around 5% adoption while southern Europe can be close to as much as 95% adoption. [3] https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/data/2020/state/...

I’m not sure about this round but I know someone that resigned out of the DOGE wave in Homeland and she got 9 months severance. I would assume something relatively similar.

It's just a tool I know, I guess if I posted any link you'd say the same thing regardless of the tool.

It seems kinda weird to Dox the guy's home address.

> The appeal of sending a letter isn't to avoid human contact, it's to avoid the time suck of aggravation and frustration that these dark pattern schmucks throw in the way.
It also very likely goes through a different pipeline to get solved and is immediately escalated internally.

I've cancelled everything but YouTube Premium and Apple TV and share for everything else I'm interested in.
