I had this problem – near 24/7 noise – but moved 20 miles west to a suburb that has speed bumps and significantly less through traffic. The average dBs outside went from ~65 to ~45. Maybe in the US, at least, the issue is that the quie

Yeah, the kid's calendar is very much fixed. I don't have sick leave that I can use in order to not take care of my kid for the day. Work is infinitely more flexible in that way.

OP continuing to drive a 20-year-old car (of any kind, not just a hybrid) is likely more environmentally friendly than buying a new car every few years. They're doing the reduce part of "reduce, reuse, recycle." A long-lastin

What's odd is that at the lower levels people will absolutely freak out if a computer monitor (~$300?) can't be located. I guess it's not small items like that that add up to the billions missing, it's large/expens

I tried using this last year or the year before. Ended up using DeepChem instead https://github.com/deepchem/deepchem . That said, I’ve found RDKit to be the singularly most useful toolkit in this area.
