I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re absolutely correct that the property value increase and the tax burden increase are not linear at all. The person who attempted to correct you is pretty notorious for being aggressively wrong.

So no Israel is bankrupt and has no power or military capabilities, who has the power to decide what kind of solution is enacted?

What happens after it bankrupts them?

You probably want to go to a minimum security federal prison. The easiest way to get there that I think of is check fraud.

You’ll need to write a bunch or bad checks in as many states as you can, or send them through the mail. You’ll need to do this a lot, and for a pretty significant amount of money otherwise they’ll just give you probation of some sort.

Having a disability might be a problem though; if it costs too much medically to keep you in prison they’ll just out you back on the street as a compassionate release.

Llamafile is a pretty good option for 100% local LLMs. The smaller models are pretty good for basic applications. They run at a reasonable speed on my Samsung laptop and really fast on my M2 macbook.

And credit unions.

That is what should happen when a starting capacitor fails, but it doesn’t always happen as it’s supposed to.

Another possibility is the starting capacitor for the compressor motor is bad.

If the capacitor is bad then the compressor motor won’t actually start, but the fan will still turn on. This will make it seem like the AC unit is running, but there won’t actually be any cooling going on. The fans will still blow air, and it’ll feel slightly cooler because it’s moving air, but it won’t actually be cooler.

Replacing capacitors is pretty easy and not too expensive. However, it can be extremely dangerous so I recommend you leave it to the professionals unless you have some experience working with electricity.

If you’re doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It’s incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.

The new Prius Prime has an optional rooftop solar panel.

According to an article in Slash Gear you can get about 4 miles of range after 9 hours in the sun.

So it has the potential to marginally increase your range on the scale of a short commute under ideal circumstances, but it’s not much apparently.

Right? I want a PHEV so range isn’t something I really need to think about.

I recently replaced some insulation in my home and i found out it’s a lot more complicated than just put slap it in the wall. That is to say my understanding is pretty rudimentary so my explanation may not be the best.

Insulation in a house creates a temperature difference between the inside and the outside of your house. If the insulation doesn’t have a proper moisture barrier this can lead to water getting trapped on the inside of the insulation due to condensation. The water then comes leaking out if your walls, making everything extremely damp. The darkness inside the wall along with the dampness makes an ideal environment for the mold, which quickly spreads outside of the wall and into the rest of your damp house.

Fun fact: the person your replying to had absolutely no idea that a desalination plant was involved in this process.

Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here’s how the process works according to the article:

Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.

It’s a little worse than mismanagement:

Mao decreed that efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside should be increased. Local officials were fearful of Anti-Rightist Campaigns and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao’s exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent “surpluses” and leaving farmers to starve to death. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster which was being caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action.

The government took what food there was from the farmers because they were trying to swing their dicks around and impress the boss. It’s like the Irish potato famine, but with rice.

That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.

I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.

Llamafile is a great way to get use an LLM locally. Inference is incredibly fast on my ARM macbook and rtx 4060ti, its okay on my Intel laptop running Ubuntu.

I got a little case like this one, helps a ton

Economically, militarily, and politically…yeah…
