A large contributor to inflation is the supply of money in circulation. One of the largest additions to the supply of money comes from our very own federal government's deficit spending. Whether intentional or not, due to the way they accounted for the student loan debt forgiveness...

Whoever pays that price can be confident they top ticked the housing market

After going down the C shot rabbit hole and finding a whole lot of WTAF (and continuing to see new WTAF stuff come out), I don't want to go down the anti-vax rabbit hole out of concern for what's there and how difficult it would be to navigate life through that lens.

Man I was so close to buying this floor plan from the builder in 2020 for like $1,350,000. Stars didn't align though. Would have should have... And yes, I would buy a murder/suicide house for 30% below market as long as there's no remaining evidence (stains, smells, etc).

There's actual research on ESG investing coming out. Turns out lowering the cost of capital for "green firms" does next to nothing to reduce emissions and raising the cost of capital for "brown firms" (aka high carbon emitters) causes them to emit more...

I'm going to file that one away as WTF. $1,000/sqft

Bummer. I'd thought about matching some batteries up with my solar but losing NEM 2.0 would really suck. Do you have a source to confirm that SCE customers lose their existing NEM agreement if they add batteries?

You're forgetting that electricity demand still must be met and that the grid is indifferent about what is generating the power. Even in a hypothetical grid where you can direct power based on the generation source, if you direct solar away from powering homes/businesses towards pumping water...

I've heard the same. The idea is to use excess generation to pump water up a hill into a reservoir and release it when needed for generation. A gravity battery. The pushback is (1A) it's going to disturb nature to build and create emissions in the process, so many environmentalists strongly...

Ya, natural gas sounds preferable to coal and oil when it comes to emissions. It also has the upside of being able to ramp up and down as needed for electricity generation. Can't do that with nuclear in any short amount of time. Wind & solar are at the mercy of the weather. Batteries will...

Eh, your numbers seem really high. I found: 2021 was 35% renewable as a % of in CA generation. 34% as a % of total CA consumption (because CA imports electricity). For reference gas was 50% and 38% respectively...

Not a doctor, not an "expert", not here to tell anyone what to do with their bodies, just a generally healthy middle aged citizen. I got the first two shots around the delta wave. I'll never get another. I'll never let someone force my children to get one while they're too young to have...

You know... I get the sense that "news" these days, tech.co not being an exception, is often more editorial, agenda, and cherry picked fact driven. Sure, there's probably more than zero people who decided to buy a house with the expectation of permanent WFH life who are now finding their...

Ask AI what a woman is. Ask it if men can get pregnant. That thing just cuts & pastes the things it's programmers feed into it. Don't be surprised when it echoes it's programmer's beliefs. Wouldn't it be amusing if some of the first jobs AI replaces is those of it's programmers?

Yes, we should listen to a person's argument, even if they work in an industry that we don't like or that may make them biased. I'm not saying agree with them blindly. But give all sides a chance to make their case, look at all the data, hear all the arguments, don't be afraid to question your...

Someone fact check the fact checkers. What makes them the arbiters of truth? Just because they can do ad hominem attacks we're supposed discredit anyone they suggest? Does working in the oil and gas industry mean everything that person says is untrustworthy? Does the lack of a degree in...

I can't speak for FL, but in CA the insurance companies aren't able to justify the risk of writing policies for the premium they're allowed to collect. They're squeezed on the revenue side by the CA insurance commissioner who is not allowing them to raise premiums enough. They're squeezed on...

It IS an emergency and you HAVE to obey *THROWS TANTRUM* The only way to fix it is to be afraid, hand your rights and check books over to the government. They're the experts, they know better than us, and they truly care about each and every one of us. Let me break it down for everyone in...

Seems in the range. I think I paid $6,100 for two 4 panel doors, so $3,050 roughly per door. The only savings for the 2nd door was on shipping the product - almost the same cost to ship 2 screens as 1. So yeah, $2,500 sounds about right for a 3 panel door.

2nd'ing the Screen Mobile recommendation. Matt is the franchise owner for the geographical region I live in (South OC). He was very helpful in the selection process and his installers were outstanding. I would not recommend the Zig Zag product due to my negative experience with it on my large...
