I have a question about whether my credit union has a notary on staff today, and if I need an appointment.

Avoided it for a while for naive reasons.
But they’re all predatory. I get a push notification 10 minutes after I’m on the app, for content I already saw that happened 6 hours ago. 🤬

My Tesla Model 3 was having fun glitching today.
Beautiful sunny day, so naturally the windshield wipers kept activating, & headlights were perpetually on.
Most likely it's just a confused camera (bugs, bird poop, shadows, etc.).
But that's Tesla for you. It does stuff like that CONSTANTLY.
