Exactly, I live in the Bay area and now that my wife and I work from home our previously totally adequate 1 bdrm is now too small to work comfortably. Particularly when we are both on calls. Getting another bedroom for an office is going to

Depends on if you have someone to do it with and the scenery. I just drove from CA to NV, little bit of ID, and OR in a day and it was a great drive (just shy of 800mi). Lots of interesting scenery and places I've never seen. Broke it

The Hyundai Kona is tiny (for a 2021 vehicle at least) and has really good safety ratings https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/hyundai/kona-4-door-suv...

Seems like that will never happen since you can basically modify your vehicle without restrictions even in otherwise restrictive states. And trucks just keep getting bigger and more popular.

Is this related to the screen under CA Title 20?

I don't think all natural fiber sources have this issue. Finely ground non absorbent insoluble and non fermentable fiber, like wheat bran or just cellulose appear to have the opposite effect.

The manufacturing byproducts are known to be hazardous. Like PFOAs.

I can't imagine that bulking up my foods with teflon powder wouldn't also alter the texture, possibly the taste as well, although simply by diluting with tasteless powder.

PTFE is not really produced from petrocarbons, at least not directly. Its made by polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, which appears to be made from chloroform + HF, the former is made from petrocarbons (methane/methanol + HCl/C

This seems fundamentally the same as insoluble fiber component of plants/vegetables. Why not just eat a bunch of cellulose/lignin/chitin/other non-starch polysaccharides, seems less likely to have some bad/unexpecte

I'm really happy with my integrated water cooling for my desktop, the large fan barely has to run and the water pump is almost inaudible except for the occasional gurgling noise. Its not the same sound as a whining small CPU cooling fa

They sell them in appliance stores now, most people wouldn't even know, it's called R290. My fridge used it, sadly it died and was replaced with a conventional refrigerant model.

My old fridge used propane from the manufacturer, sadly it only lasted a few years and repair was more expensive than another one. The new one uses a more conventional refrigerant.

A LVT doesn't have to be based on the land area. A plot with more frontage on a busy main street will be more valuable and hence taxed more.

I'm sure you'd make more money after takes renting it out but you have more costs associated with having a tenant (and risks). If you can just sit on a vacant property get some tax rebates and watch it appreciate you don't ne

Monterey county uses reclaimed water for agriculture, I'm sure there are others as well.

by s0rce 5y ago
Some counties (maybe Sonoma?) are restricting residential irrigation like you described. Maybe even a complete ban.

That's not universally true though the Nile river delta and the Columbia basin have tons of agriculture and I'm not aware of water shortages, although large dams can cause issues.

by s0rce 5y ago
I don't think people understand that large rivers can flow through deserts and provide water.

Tell that to the Columbia River basin.

I think this would still be massively more expensive than the current cost farmers pay for water. Just increase prices and let them reduce usage before trying to grow crops with expensive desalinated water.

Almonds could probably still be profitable with buried drip irrigation as the water usage would be drastically reduced, they are still expensive and prices could likely go higher before you stopped selling them. You'd price out low val

Marin is probably an outlier (no Sierra snowmelt water) and the issue does seem quite dire there. I'm not sure most of the reservoirs were ever dug, they were just dammed. You'd have to move the water to dredge them at this point.

Isn't the context an interview, ie. give a decent order of magnitude estimate with back of the envelope methods.

I pay for a bunch of services (Caltopo for topographic maps, bazqux for RSS feeds, google drive for storage space, streaming services, Garmin inReach for satcom). The ones that I don't pay for, I probably wouldn't pay for if they

There are a variety of papers on the topic for hydroponics (see below) using weak acid cation resins with reciculation to control pH so you don't need to constantly replace buffers or use pH up/down chemical additions either, ther

Have you thought about using weak acid cation ion exchange resins to control pH?

AC uses less energy than heating in very cold places. Cooling from 120F to 70F is a 50F delta. Warming from -30F to 70F is 100F.

I live just over the bridge in Oakland and basically never go to SF for these exact reasons. I've tried a few times and its just too frustrating. BART+bike can work ok.

I was visiting DC for a wedding and in busy nightlife areas it was way easier to flag down a cab then figure out which of 10 cars pulled over is your uber.
