No one is stopping Grandma Susan from renting out her basement to pay bills.
I regret to report that plenty of people are stopping Grandma Susan from doing just that. Many municipalities in the U.S. forbid unrelated people from living in the same household to prevent roommate arrangements, and they also outlaw accessory dwelling units like basement apartments. American zoning laws are a nightmare.
If you want to dig deeper on how the company Fervo works, the CEO did an interview with David Roberts of Volts last year which was pretty interesting. This stuff isn't hypothetical, it's working right now, and apparently it's profitable. I know huge portions of electricity demand can be addressed through wind and solar, perhaps at lower cost than enhanced geothermal for now, but the ability of enhanced geothermal to keep producing energy when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine is really key.
A frustratingly empty article. Why are they struggling to "make ends meet"? What ends? If it's housing, this is a housing story. If it's high auto loan debt, that's a mother matter. If it's not housing and it's accrued consumer debt, that's a different matter.
They never say, so there isn't much to conclude from this piece.
Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Quite a learning curve, but I loved the different ways you can win (conquest, trade, black ops) and how much you could customize your ships or pick unique races with tolerances for different planets.
Puppy was going to me my suggestion too, before I read that you'd already used it. Maybe try some of the other versions? If you used a Debian- or Ubuntu-based Puppy, you could try a Slack-based one, or vice-versa. Puppy's organization is a little confusing, in my opinion, but it does give a user some options. You also might try some of the "puplets" that aren't official Puppy distros but are part of the Puppy family.
For real? I'm definitely seeing more teenagers on ebikes where I live. Which kind of impresses me, actually, because my community isn't exactly a bike-friendly place. Honestly, some of the teens are kind of punks who are a bit annoying, or cut across the lawns of businesses or churches when they shouldn't, but it sure is a cheaper way to get around and it's less dangerous to other people on the road than if they were driving cars.
Justice Sotomayor is the greatest risk, and she could have engineered her exit earlier this year. Remember that in November. Dems aren't even playing the same game.
Any department that actually buys one of these turkeys is going to be very unhappy about the maintenance costs. Can't park under trees, can't let it get rained on, and if you're in a medium-speed accident, the lack of crumple zone will injure your officers at higher rates.
I thought the allegations were that the Alitos were using the extra security officers given to them as part of the intimidation. Armed officers are always a danger.
The NYC/MTA budget was calculated based on congestion revenue. The budget hole this creates is a huge problem. This was a capitulation that probably won't win Gov. Hochel any votes, but it certainly will throw NYC tax and budgets in disarray. Twenty-five years in the making, and she chickens out 3 weeks before. I'm just shaking my head.
