They refers to the people of the county in question - which is where those NIMBYs live and thus those who are not trying.

He has been threatening for a while now. If they haven’t made significant progress it is because they are not trying to.

Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn’t be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn’t the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.

Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn’t do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.

If you burn that oil instead you would run out in about 10 hours assuming you were going for the same energy output. A lot oi oil is in them for sure, but compared to a oil burned for power it is nothing.

My installer was certified. It was installed right and works well - until the temperature gets to 25F and it just isn’t large enough to keep up. This is a sales problem and a larger unit would be more expensive so they didn’t offer it to me.

Will HVAC installers be trained on them, or will they continue to size them for AC load and as a result install systems that are unable to heat below 25F (-5C). The heat pump itself of course can provide heat down to -20F/-25C but it cannot provide enough heat for the climate and so you spend most of the year using the backup heating system (or your house is dangerously cold)

Targeted layoffs are tricky to pull off. You can be sued for wrongful dismissal and then you need to show you were not targeting that person by anything other than random. You can easially lay off everyone on a project. Anything where you select individuals is risky if they can somehow argue you choose them because of some status (minority or whatever - even white male is not a status you can dismiss someone on) . Don’t get me wrong, companies lay off part of a department all the time - but they would prefer to not do that.

Even if someone quits from a department you don’t want to lose people from, you can just transfer an employee from a different department that didn’t lose enough people. So this is good enough and someone who quits cannot sue.

Also if someone quits they cannot collect unemployment. Generally governments track how often a company lays off employees and charges higher unemployment rates to those who lay off more people so getting people to quit saves you here too.

The market does tend to overreact so this is possible a sign to buy low. I can’t be bothered to check the fundamenals but it seems unlikely that amd is a better investment long term. If you are not looking at least 5 years to the future stocks are a bad idea.

i can’t wait for the day content is there. I always look there first but too often I can’t find anything close to what I want.

Meanwhile just as good chefs that didn’t get the fame break (or possibly better but their personality means they shouldn’t be let out of the kitchen) are struggling to make ends meet.

it is also a death sentence to be on the frontlines with no way to learn where you need to go. unsecure comms are better than no comms and russia isn’t competent enough to provide secure comms.

At least you can get out.

inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.

That is what I meant - engage to facebook means you like it and want to see more.

I’m able to keep facebook okay, but only by constant blocking all from. I wish I could turn off all shared content. The good stuff on facebook is people I personally know but see rarely - but that only takes a few minutes to catch up on and they need me to doomscroll for hours to make money.

You engauge with it, you must like it.

ai has been doing that trick since the 1950s. There have been a lot of use coming out of ai, but it has never been called ai once successful and never lived up to the early hype. some in the know about all those previous ones were surprised by the hype and not surprised about where it has gone, while others pushed the hype.

The details have changed but nothing else.

Except that as an attacker you can choose where to attack and prepare to be there faster than the defenders can get people there. so you can attack with 30 where they only have 5 defenders and be gone before reenforcements arrive since they don’t know where you will attack until you start.

military expert tell me the 3:1 ratio comes with a lot of asterisks and ukrain knows those as well.

if they can attack they should at it forces russia to defend their whole line. If they don’t attack russia can leave the line undefended and thus concentrate forces for their attacks.

that is a big if though as ukrain needs to defend their lines.

A little but the aerodynamits of shot will always be bad. A riifle will beat shot for range and accuracy. However for something moving that is close the in accuracy of shot improves your stastical odds of a hit.

Shotguns have a useful range of about 50 meters while these are short range, is that long enough?
