They decided to pay wholesale prices for electricity sold back to the grid instead of residential prices. That means that any excess power sold goes from around 33 cents to 6 cents, meaning that most people won’t see a change in their bills after installing solar because most households use power at night when there is no sun. This leads to people just not installing solar panels anymore.

This sounds like the textbook definition of a collider. Meaning that being toxic is the likely “root cause” and that toxic people are more likely to engage in political discourse (because it’s likely going to be toxic anyways? Idk) and they are more likely to comment toxic stuff in general.

The ultimate power move for Apple would be to require an iCloud+ subscription to use this service.

Why would they charge for it? If you build an app with it and want to charge for it, they will take 30% of whatever you make.

I agree with you. That’s why I make an effort to at least leave a comment every time I use the app.

It shows as 9.99 for me. Was it a glitch?

Copper piping costs about double the cost of cove piping.

If you want to repair copper, you need to use a torc and solder. That’s not usually possible if the repairs are in difficult to reach places.

Cpvc usually requires only a crimp coupling.

I think they really mean cold brew. The time says 5 hours and maybe the machine is a filter thingy after they cold brew the coffee in the fridge.

It’s likely a Botox smile. The top half of the face doesn’t move.

Italian here. Birthdays are special in Italy because there are a lot of cultural traditions that don’t make much sense and they are tied to tradition and superstition. Here are some ideas:

The birthday person must wear a special hat made of garlic and onions. This is said to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck for the coming year.

The birthday person must smash a plate against the wall. This is said to bring prosperity and good fortune.

The birthday person must eat a dozen grapes at midnight. This is said to ensure a year of good health and happiness.

The birthday person must dance with a broom. This is said to bring good luck in love.

The birthday person must wear red underwear on their birthday. This is said to bring good luck in all areas of life.

The birthday person must make a wish while blowing out the candles on their cake, but they must keep their wish a secret. If anyone finds out what the wish is, it will not come true.

The birthday person must cut the first slice of cake with their left hand. This is said to bring good luck.

The birthday person must feed the first slice of cake to the oldest person present. This is said to show respect for elders and to bring good luck to the birthday person.

The birthday person must give out small gifts to all of their guests. These gifts are called "bomboniere" and are typically small candies, cookies, or other treats.

The birthday person must plant a tree. This is said to bring good luck and prosperity.

The birthday person must release a dove into the sky. This is said to symbolize the release of all of the birthday person's worries and troubles.

The birthday person must sing a song at the top of their lungs. This is said to bring good luck and to celebrate the joy of life.
