Look into retro fitting recirculation pumps. You don't necessarily need access to the plumbing behind a wall and can add a loop under a sink in your bathroom. Ask This Old House has quite a few videos on the subject: https://youtu.be/KdA_gfau1s4

There's citric acid based softeners as well like nuvoh2o https://nuvoh2o.com/

Not sure how it affects septic systems though.

Is there no scenario in which a company could buy back their stocks? Or are companies that offer stock forever stuck with never getting those back? That would kill a lot of opportunities for companies to start up, expand their business, or take advantage of other opportunities to grow. You can't always get money from a bank loan.

I can see how my reply could be interpreted that way but that was not the intention. I meant they sell stock to raise money to fund their business, expansions, etc. Not to raise money just to buy their stock back.

Why? It's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The company sold stock to raise money. No reason they shouldn't be able to buy back the stock they sold with the money they made.

 

It's becoming harder and harder to get a homeowner insurance policy in California. State Farm and Allstate stopped writing new policies, citing wildfire risks. Others are limiting new customers.

And now, several viewers tell San Francisco's KGO-TV that AAA is not renewing their longtime policies -- and it has nothing to do with wildfires.

These homeowners were surprised to find out aircraft and satellites were taking photos over their homes. They were baffled to find out the reasons AAA dropped their coverage -- everything from clutter in the yard to draining a swimming pool to save water.

That's where the Stargate is, so it makes sense.

I have a cat. He is a pet. Not a fur baby or child. I am not a cat. He's too old to be a baby. Young cats are kittens, not babies. I also very dislike doggos and kiddos.

Not sure why I wrote all that like a four year old. Maybe because that's how I view the intelligence level of those that feel the need to use that kind of language.
