Ultrasonic humidifiers need to be run with distilled or equivalent purity water, yes. Not just for the lack of salts being aerosolized, but also because anything that may incidentally grow in the water also will be aerosolized. Distilled wa

My most reliable home automation devices are the Lutron Caseta. I've never had any problems, aside from changing the batteries on the shades. The Ikea stuff is decent now but wasn't so great 6 years ago. I still have the original

Once upon a time, I had daylight color lights in my bedroom. My then GF was somewhat unhappy with that choice after a while, especially since it was winter when she moved in with me, and so outside was extra white. Since then we now mostly

Weird copyright idea of mine: copyright registrations lapse, and must be paid for regularly, but the copyright itself continues. You have to have a registration to be able to demand statutory damages and can only demand for the period of th

The purpose of the justice system is many-fold: One is reform (serve your penance and be better). One is retribution: you did a bad thing, so bad things are going to happen to you. One is deterrence: knowing that you'll get caught, you

Here's where I think you're going wrong: the unimproved land value of Alice's land does kinda change? If you try to do it specifically at the lot level, you go crazy. Do it at the neighborhood or block level on a per square f

In places where the land is expensive, yes. But that's also largely where the people are, so it's helpful to build there too. You don't end up with a giant surface parking lot, because you get taxed the same whether you have

The value of the land in NYC is related to all the other stuff next to the land you’re valuing. Other people’s improvements make your land more valuable, because you’ve got the subway line nearby. And the pizza shop on the corner. And the b
