@lisaviolet not as bad as your example, but My bestie had a couple DVT’s while recovering from bowel surgery pre-covid( too much couch time, not enough moving around), and several of his family members have had them as well.
In my family, we have a History of NOT clotting in our older years…
not hemophilia…VonWillebrand Disease.
@mehcuda67 To be fair, Henry Ford died in 1947 and he is still selling them. Walt Disney started a streaming service from his cryo chamber, so maybe death doesn’t work the same for the rich.
@mehcuda67 Tesla failed to register his name as a trademark and bequeath it to jealously protective heirs, so it was out there waiting to be appropriated.
@mehcuda67@werehatrack and contrary to popular belief, Elon DID NOT start Tesla Motors, or any of the other things he’s credited with.
"The company was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.[12][13] Eberhard and Tarpenning served as CEO and CFO, respectively.[14] Eberhard said he wanted to build “a car manufacturer that is also a technology company”, with its core technologies as “the battery, the computer software, and the proprietary motor”.[15]
Ian Wright was Tesla’s third employee, joining a few months later.[12] In February 2004, the company raised US$7.5 million (equivalent to $12 million in 2022) in series A funding, including $6.5 million (equivalent to $10 million in 2022) from Elon Musk, who had received $100 million from the sale of his interest in PayPal two years earlier. Musk became the chairman of the board of directors and the largest shareholder of Tesla.[16][17][14] J. B. Straubel joined Tesla in May 2004 as chief technical officer.[18]
A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five – Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk, and Straubel – to call themselves co-founders" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.
the ONLY thing he’s ever Invented, is the Public Figure “Elon Musk”
This reminds me of the time I was perusing the comments section of an article about the Cascadia Subduction Zone (which lies off the West Coast and runs from British Columbia to northern California) and the danger it poses. One poster didn’t think it was that big a deal. She suggested sending down some drones to smooth out the areas where the tectonic plates were hitting together, maybe add in some lubricant, and…voila, problem solved.
What will he do when he hears the back story for Wonder Woman?

This one was a definite facepalm for me. (We’ve had to say goodbye to four cats due to clotting.)
@lisaviolet An especially clueless & annoying example of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.
(And I’m sorry to hear about your poor cats. 
)
@lisaviolet I feel like I lost intelligence reading that one. Cripes.

@PocketBrain Stupidtire?
KuoH
@kuoh @PocketBrain Whose tires are you calling stupid??
If Tesla really died in 1943, why is he selling cars now?

@lordbowen I must reply with this thing. I must.
@werehatrack I have a tee that reads “Stop Plate Tectonics” and the number one question people ask: “Is that possible?”
Wait until he finds out that Greek myths were altered to include an Amazon tribe.
There’s going to be a Jason and the Googlalites myth coming next.
