Blood sugar can be too high as well.

I know Steve!

But definitely call her that :-)

Don’t call her that!

Waste heat reclamation for water heating purposes seems like a no brainer. For small buildings as well as large ones, but no one talks about it.

Ruin!

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve always thought that housing is an absolutely terrible “store of value”. Given the fact that appreciation at a population level, by definition means housing will be less affordable for the next generation. How is value for one generation balanced against subsequent ones. Also, it’s an incredibly inefficient way to build a nest egg or whatever. If you pay a mortgage like most people do, over 15-30 yrs, you’re paying something on the level of 150%-200% of its value over time. It seems to me a more rational way to build value is to keep housing costs low, allowing people to invest that difference (mortgage interest) into either investments or savings, rather than paying it to a bank.

I get that the US doesn’t really have a culture of saving, but I feel like this is rationalized by the “my house will be more valuable when I retire” crowd. It’s so easy to save now, with efficient investment products broadly available to individuals. Maybe it’s time to let the house as the bulk of your wealth go, and make housing affordable again.

First TNG watch throughl, she was And impediment to s02 crusher. But as I’ve watched repeatedly, she was a great character who made her presence known. She wasn’t perfect, but she was interesting and she changed as the season went on wrt Data. I still think she was a eagerly underrated character.

Yeah maybe the problem is no one is describing what “work” means in this case. The goal is to reduce Chinese market share in the US EV market, protection of US industry ( lets be honest, probably the owners’ income stream). I don’t see that goal failing being likely.

See this makes sense to me. In good faith I don’t understand how tariffs couldn’t work. I mean, even if it doesn’t STOP import of Chinese EV’s, the uptake would be so much less than if they were 50% off…right?

History is rife with examples of countries developing their own industries by making imports more expensive.

Signal no longer requires a phone number. You can now create an account. Not sure if that helps your outlook on it, but yeah. It was a fairly recent update that this was rolled out.

Edit: being told we still do need numbers to register. I haven’t gotten a new phone since well before the change was made, so I haven’t actually created an account and gone through the process. It looks like I misinterpreted what was going on when I read the changelog.

Ha…guess I’m the asshole. But I still hate teams alright!

I’ve had to repeatedly switcho “new teams”. The selection isn’t sticky for some reason. It seems like it shouldn’t be that hard to develope a messaging app that does file transfers and meetings but apparently this bloated pile of horseshit proves reason wrong. A second long delay when changing threads? “You’ll use it because corporate says you will…and you’ll LOVE IT”.

And now you know something about me😋

Added, sorry for the delay.

Added. Sorry for the delay.

Is linked to excess deaths? Technically it could be saving lives at a population scale. I doubt that’s the case, but it could be. I’ll read the article now and find out.

Edit: it doesn’t seem to say anything regarding “normal” auto related deaths. They’re focusing on the bullshit designation of an unfinished product as “autopilot”,and a (small) subset of specific cases that are particularly aggregious, where there were 5-10 seconds of lead time into an incident. In these cases a person who was paying attention wouldn’t have been in the accident.

Also some clarity edits.

Takin’ it back! ❤️

Here is a wiki source (insert error bars here) discussion of his stance on his work being officially licensed. He thought that use of his work outside of a comic strip would cheapen the value of the strip itself. This was frusterating as a child (who wouldn’t want a fucking Hobbes plushy) but now later I can see that it was at the very least a very defensible choice. Compare how people feel about C&H vs something that was commercialized to death like Garfield. Anyway, hope it’s useful.
