If you're walking to the store because you live in a walkable neighborhood, it's zero. If you're going to the mall and buying a dozen things from a dozen stores, the carbon footprint per purchase is probably lower than if yo

That also depends on the location. In a residential neighborhood, that might be too much retail, but in Times Square it might be appropriate. There are walkable low-rise neighborhoods in Queens where the main drag is all 1-3 story buildin

The occupant landlords I've known have been very picky about their renters, conducting extensive interviews; whereas management companies literally only do a background check and a financials check. And they've been orders of magn

Yup. I've been a renter my entire adult life, and have lived in both owner-occupied and corporate-managed buildings. (Here we don't have granny flats, just the other rooms or floors of a townhouse that's been divided into ap

Many states will issue an absentee ballot only if you will be out of state on election day or have physical disabilities that will prevent visiting a polling place. Submitting an absentee ballot without meeting those conditions is voter fr

I for one loathe talking on the phone. I wouldn't even pick up.

Yeah! That said, Overdrive has its pain points and could do with some savvy competition. I imagine that licensing and marketing would be the biggest hurdles.

No idea, never used it, but it seems like an obvious choice to use with Office. An employer that won't buy you the software you need to do your job seems ridiculous though.

Or you get in a car and sit in traffic until you run out of gas and then you're stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere during a hurricane, as happened to so many people in Houston this past fall. Few of our cities are actually

Actually, they get done by 50 men watching 3 men and a giant machine, because of unions afraid of automation causing unemployment. And I say that as someone who is generally pro-union.

What makes you so sure fixes are trivial? Do you know what their code looks like? How big their team is? What resources they have available to devote to this? What their runway looks like? What pressures they're under from investors? I

45-ish hours/week. Trying to get back down to 40. I'm salaried, so no, hours worked don't affect income. (Though if I wanted to work 20 hrs/wk that would probably be different.)

We also, as a society, put a lot of conscious and subconscious pressure on women in particular to have and to want children. Girls are exposed from a young age to overt and covert suggestions that their value is in their reproductive appeal
