Places that aren't on SCE, SDG&E, or PG&E. My utility is municipal, and my rates are about 17 cents a kWh. It's awesome.

Because constituents will often fight such an attempt. For every covenant that's annoying you, there are people in the vicinity that like it. People generally like setbacks. It prevents their neighbors from being too close, or the st

I have a similar “origin story” with the Precise V5. I remember how so much better it was than the ballpoints I had used before. Still use it today. That being said, I miss the old color scheme of these pens. In my day, the V7s were vivid

My brother gave me a beeper as a Christmas present in 1996. It was cool, but it got really cool when I bought an 800-number from LDDS Worldcom. The only thing I was charged was (IIRC) 6¢ per minute, and no call setup charge.* I got paper

I color code mine. Yellow if I’m listed as an optional participant, blue if I’m required. I don’t attend the yellow ones.

But if they're not looking at test scores, then they start admitting 80th-percentile applicants without knowing it. Applicants that got help writing their personal statements, or padded their time in high school with the "right&qu

"It" would become so crowded that it's not "it" anymore. A quaint mountain town is no longer that once you double capacity and build dense housing. Which, depending on who you are, might be fine or it might not be.

Not only that, but the light source that's creating the shadow gets smaller (in terms of arc length), so the shadow becomes more crisp.

Wow, your commitment to accuracy is impressive. I’ve heard of pre-registration for scientific papers, but Yelp reviews is a new frontier :)

Tons of banks are offering around 5% on savings accounts and CDs. I have a 6-mo CD right now at 5.05%. My Apple savings account is at 4.50% Times have changed.

Depends on what it’s controlling. The tune of my car? Red = performance, green = eco-mode. The valve on a pipe? Red means “stop” (off) and green means “go” (on). What about a heater? Does red mean hot? Or stopped? Sibling comments cover col

I used to have one or two pints most nights. During a yearly checkup, my doctor grabbed my belly and said, “You need to make this smaller” (as he jiggled it in demonstration) I decided the easiest 3-400 Calories I could cut were those beers

I’m disappointed that after our last talk, you decided to try and fake a “solution” rather than swapping your screens as we had agreed. I’m getting complaints that the “NY JETS” pennant in the background is flipped now.

My recommendation screen shows me at least a dozen categories. If I watch a few machining videos, it'll helpfully show me the following: Machines, Lathes, Tools, Metalworking, Milling, Machine Tools, Steel, Woodworking, Drills, ... Um,

I doubt the mass of gum in an airplane ashtray would add even a single extra gallon to the fuel burn. The least efficient plane[0] burns 1 gallon per passenger every 64 miles. A 3,000 mile flight will burn 47 gallons of fuel per passenger.

I used to run ZHA on my Home Assistant setup, and switched to Z2M a couple years ago. At the time it had a longer list of supported devices, and the UI for configuring them was better. It felt kind of “dirty” to layer in yet another protoco

In the unregulated scenario, you at least know the score. In the current scenario, you have a false sense of security that this must be the real deal, because Apple reviews the app submissions.

Great link! I like how that comment is from an anonymous source, but now that the NTSB preliminary report is out, it seems thoroughly corroborated to me. The dates of certain events and the reason for the door's removal—er, "openi

Yup. The Power of Pricing is a thing that exists whether you want it to or not. Smart policy uses it to great advantage. Dumb policy redirects this to hurt those it intends to help. Rent control, restrictions on production, byzantine zoning

Isn't this kinda like mounting a fan on your car's roof to charge the battery? You have accelerated your spaceship to 0.995C (or whatever) and now you are encountering space dust at a phenomenal rate. Some of that dust is moving a

Not if the Overton Window is out of whack. Reality could conceivably be to the left or to the right of what we consider the extremes. What we label as “centrist” isn’t guaranteed to be the “actual” center of reality’s spectrum of ideology.

I just now changed my limits to $300k/$500k, and the monthly premium increase was—not joking—about $3.50. That was the highest choice I had through my provider’s app. I might give them a call and see what else I can get.

Many states cap the profit, yeah. But that’s not the issue raised by this article. The states’ minimum required liability limits are.
