Small landlords also rent out basement suites and carriage homes on their own property, no? Those may very well sit empty if the return isn’t worth the risk. Editing to just add: I absolutely support transparent pricing for rental propertie

Used Tesla Model Y with AT tires? You can get a small lift kit for them if you want more ground clearance.

Same. Siri has been so bad for so long, and this announcement gave me a brief glimmer of hope that it would finally get better. However, every phone in my family is a 15 or older, and there is no support for our newer HomePod either. Booooo

There are usually training versions of the race shoe, which are heavier due in part to thicker rubber soles and more durable foam. So you train in those, and then switch to the ultra-light, ultra-bouncy race version on race day.

Glad you’re happy with the Saucony Pro. I think the equivalent to the Vaporfly would be the Saucony Endorphin Elite though, which probably lasts no more than a couple of big races either. If you ever want to try team Nike again, the Zoom Fl

That is exactly what they’re supposed to do. They are marketed as racing shoes for a couple of marathons, tops. Everything on those shoes is designed to be as thin and as light as possible.

Right, but global CO2 is still a massive problem. A data center drawing 5 GW is the equivalent power of 278,000 cars driving at highway speed. Even if these gas generators are cleaner (we don’t know because they are not regulated or measu

CO2, the stuff that has been buried for millions of years, and we're releasing all at once into the atmosphere? The stuff that is warming our planet faster than we, or nature, can adapt to? The stuff that is worsening global wildfires,

The pollution is the immense amount of exhaust from the power generation equipment being installed on site at data centres. The article is from Capital B, which focuses on news affecting the Black community.

I think a lot of people are desperate for tech giants to stand up to the current US administration.

This is like building a gas powered car with a refinery attached to the roof. Batteries exist. Solar panels add weight and design constraints. Why is this a thing? What am I missing?

The US will just do what they did with Chinese EVs: ban the superior technology to protect US companies.

More likely it’s because the title rule was broken. The original title was not used, and the new title is unclear.

The closing of Hormuz caused fuel prices to go up around the globe. Voting differently in the US could have prevented it. So yeah, random shit far away can have significant effects, and sometimes you can do things about it. That said, focus

Isn’t GDP pretty easy to boost with deregulation and government overspending, at least in the short term? Neither of which benefits the people.

Then again, she probably loves the idea of tractors with poor fuel efficiency and no exhaust cleaning tech.

Comparing primary energy is VERY misleading. From Marc Jacobson: The use of primary energy on the vertical axis is an old trick by the fossil fuel industry to mislead people into thinking that one unit of fossils = one unit of renewables. I

Burning fossil fuels also raises the global temperature, reduces air quality, and people still have to pay more at the pump.

The main driver of this is human-produced CO2, and there are meaningful ways to reduce usage. -Switch to an electric vehicle -Migrate from gas appliances (range, furnace, water heater) to electric (induction, heat pumps) -If your power grid
