I wonder if they count commuting CO2 emissions as part of the company or is that just the employee’s problem. Also, someone is always home at my house so HVAC is doing it’s thing either way.

Someone has clarified it twice yet you're still fighting the word "anyone" instead of trying to view it through a reasonable lens. If his point only makes sense because he excluded a very rare group of people, then your poin

I'm sorry, but am I misunderstanding something or do you think the alt-right had the power in California to pass draconian laws on their own. These draconian laws were passed by the same people that run the state now.

Honestly, this sounds like a black hole of never working out in your favor. Their standard practices are very ambiguous and it often depends on the staff member. There is little consistency. I wouldn't expect this new exception to b

Since he hasn't sold anything its kind of hard to call him a seller. He got an unsolicited email. He isn't in the business of selling domains.

I agree, I think you’re entirely right. Why settle for only funding one side when you can throw money everywhere

I think I've started watching this movie a few times only to realize not very far into the film that it was so bad I blocked out the memory of watching it.

California state university tuition was heavily subsidized by taxpayers 50 years ago. It’s less subsidized today and it’s still over 50% taxpayer funding. That feels like the opposite of transparent pricing.

Life forces home sales. Change of jobs, loss of job, retirement, marriage, divorce, and death are all common reasons people move. If you’re underwater in these situations it forces either a short sale or foreclosure and eventual bank sale

Twenty years ago I remember it being a constant issue in central California. Gas stations would have air compressors that had the hose ends cut off and stolen. I haven't had in issue in quite a while though.

I almost bought one of those 25k Primes, but the dealer bundled it with $6k worth of heavily overpriced dealer accessories, $2k for some kind of A/C enhancement that gets you "2-6mpg more!" that sounded very much like snake o

The entire premise is exchanging a cost for a perceived personal benefit. The addict isn't looking at whether or not this benefits society enough to not drink today, they're looking at whether it benefits them enough to not drink

I feel like this would not be helping the people with drinking problems. A heavy drinker is likely to spend more than $5/day on drinking so they already value $5 as not worth abstaining from drinking. It could help some subset of pro

It’s not that you can’t find fixed rate, it’s that ARM rates would be lower and you can get more house for your payment. As the sibling commented, realtors want to close. Obviously you’ll just refinance in a few years when rates go back do

I fail to see how to tax land at a rate that would hurt rich cash loaded people/corporations and still make homes affordable. If your plan works to the point people can afford the taxes on the cheap homes then the rich people can also
