Just going to throw out that electric heaters are the most expensive/least efficient way to heat electrically.
If you’re in the US, you can get a partial credit for improving windows, doors, and insulation (always the best first step).
You or your landlord can also get up to a $3000 credit toward a central heat pump system, which gives 3-4x the delivered heat for a given amount of electricity.
The kids on my street do come and knock, but they don’t know what to do then. The just stand there waiting - I’m like “what do you say???”, and they go “uhh, thank you???”
C’mon kids!
Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison
What I enjoy thinking about is the futility of a QR code on an Interstate billboard or in the last 5 seconds of a TV spot.

I love your willingness to follow through
Cable television never advertised that. Cable TV started as a “community antenna” system that served people in valleys with existing off-the-air broadcast channels (which had ads); the existence of those systems created a market for satellite-fed channels like HBO (which was always a separate subscription and ad-free) and TBS/CNN (which always carried ads). Other than the premium channels like HBO/Showtime/Cinemax, cable channels have had ads from the beginning.
Once the small cable systems and the media publishers both got consolidated, we started seeing content licensing deals and higher costs to the subscriber to pay for it - but the channels (MTV, Nickelodeon, etc) always carried ads.
most Americans enjoy the benefits that come from being an economic, military, and diplomatic heavyweight
The threat to American citizens is that they are steered away from their own interests and the interest of furthering democracy throughout the world because they see a curated feed that excludes information critical of China and amplifies information that promotes China as a country of harmony, peace, and prosperity.
And in some cases, the trends amplified on Chinese social media apps directly fuel American political division.
I think it’s possible media’s attention to scandal has made you cynical.
Most politicians do not do shady, illegal shit. Most “elites” (do you mean billionaires?) do not torture and rape people. Most law enforcement officers are just trying to do their job.
My perspective is from the USA. I understand many other places internationally have a culture of corruption and naked power structures.
So, maybe a good question so answers can be in context is, where are you from?
You can get a bluetooth connected mechanical keyboard (and mouse!) and use a tablet.
Fifth Element
Implicit in “profit so much that money becomes trivial” is that they think this tax rate should apply to very high profit businesses/individuals.
In fact the US’ top tax rate was 90% for almost a decade and over 70% for 40 years - during a time many would consider “golden years”.
They could have worded their statement better though.
I think she is undeniably a better choice for the presidency than Donald Trump, that’s for sure
It’s like far-left rhetoric (especially the kind that seems to come from people who have never seen how e.g. spoilers work or who have never had to find a compromise) isn’t actually that popular, so you see pushback from the instance that dominates the user population, especially with it having users who aren’t “ideologically aligned” with a specific instance and who may have a perspective outside the bubble. I don’t know, just a theory.
in places that have large open lot retail developments, it’s very likely you could just install the solar panels on undeveloped land a few miles away.
why would you complicate both efforts by trying to intertwine them?
reaches out? performs outreach?
That particular line looks like application of some rule or substitution of a term - on it’s own, simple
I make as much as possible to avoid the flavor additives, texture modifiers, and preservatives found in much packaged food.
I make waffles from scratch and freeze them for quick breakfast. Prep large pots of soup, chili, stew, etc and freeze in deli tubs.
But as to who is right? No answer on that. I have built up plenty of cooking experience so things that seem tricky or time consuming to other people don’t faze me.
