I've visited some friends in those rental only neighborhoods. The lawns are all trashed. The neighborhood was less than three years old but it was already sliding toward a slum because of the clear lack of ownership by the occupants.

Honestly I can't believe that part of the rent didn't go toward neighborhood wide lawn care.

It helps remove the incentive to buy up all of the single family homes. The calculus is pretty simple -

1. buy a house
2. rent it
3. pay the mortgage, insurance, and maintenance with the overinflated rental costs because everyone colluded to jack up rental prices across the board
4. eventually own the house entirely off of the back of renters
5. repeat

Renting a home shouldn't cost enough for that cycle to be self sustaining.

That video has a rich, complex undertone of depression. Mmmm that depression is smooth. You know, I find this video to be a real go-to for when I want that bouquet of isolation and denial. I just keep coming back to watch it again and again.

Amazon entirely dominated by white label products from Alibaba, though. Where are you going to find a WXTMO Potato Peeler for cheaper and with better service?

I just skip amazon entirely. The search really isn't useful anymore.

Not trying to be a dick here, but do you honestly think that you, a non-expert who likely doesn't even practice in ecology or environmental sciences, are the authority here on whether any studies have attempted to account for the water consumption based on the feed variety and sources?

Because if you thought of it as a way to shoot down a random internet comment, then the experts who work in the field have certainly done so and followed through with those calculations already. Have you ever met a professor? They fucking love to tear apart arguments because it gets their names into publications and that's how they earn tenure and notoriety for grant funding.

10kWh is enough to run one 110VAC outlet at full capacity for about 10 hours. I don't know where that 10kWh figure comes from but most American houses use between 15-30kWh per day.

So that 10 foot cube would need to be closer to 15ft cubed. It's huge. Perhaps the foundation of the structure would work, as someone else mentioned.

Mike Pence is [...] a sort of evil Ned Flanders.

I love this.

Yeah, many of those christmas lights use pulse width modulation to control brightness and it is very noticeable. I hope that gets changed over for an analog voltage dimmer soon.

Really, the fault of the regulations is that the penalties for the number of vehicles in the heavy polluting category weren't nearly stiff enough. That's a big part of why the automakers went the opposite direction and just made bigger and heavier vehicles - they could.

Wait... is this the USA's first Gen III+ reactor?

Cab companies can afford to hire a dedicated mechanic to handle those kinds of problems. That makes even more sense when you consider they purchase mostly similar models over the years. An individual finding a transmission problem will take it to somewhere that is likely inexperienced with those problems and they get overcharged as a result.

Depending on your location, many municipalities are starting to cover the costs of installing EV charging stations at apartments. They usually ask you to pay a monthly fee for the service.
