I’m glad to hear electric lawn care equipment is becoming more viable. i've got a strong hatred for the loud, smelly 2 stroke engines that wake me when trying to rest, and then the fumes... ugh. im sure the anti-gov regulations people

This doesn’t sound entirely right to me. lead acid batteries do get damaged by deep discharges even “deep cycle” lead acid batteries aren’t supposed to go to full discharge. from https://www.solar-electric.com/learning-cen

I think both arguments sound right to me in some degree. It is a wealth transfer, and asset prices can’t go up infinitely, unless wages rise equally for the population of house buyers. It seems wages have been stagnating in the US for a wh

Not to disagree with what you said, I think that can definitely be the case, that autodidacts aren’t learning in the most efficient manner. The flip side is that people who spend most of their time asking questions and getting answers may n

A large percentage of enterprises still use windows and some sort of Microsoft browser. For the ones that’ll switch, I wonder if they’ll switch to chrome or Firefox?

This is an interesting discussion, as I’ve recently run into problems with transferring a domain from domain.com to google domains. I’ve heard good things about google domains in the past and the price seemed right (never had a problem with

Hopefully someone with more experience can answer this, but could the stock be going up due to high short interest? Maybe not technically a short squeeze ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_squeeze ) but related?

I’m curious what sort of email you’re sending and at what volume. Depending on the use case, it may be easy to start clean, but if you’re sending millions of emails a day, you may find it difficult to keep that clean reputation. It’s certa

That's too bad. I'm using LastPass because I need multi platform (Linux, iOS, macOS, etc) and multi browser support. And it has very useful features such as sharing and emergency access.
