Sometimes sound, sometimes an impact. Either way it’s pretty disruptive. I thought this was very common.

This makes much more sense.

Sweet. Fine them for 70 years of knowingly contributing to air pollution and climate damage.

Arrrr ye mateys.

From bad to worse?

We did too. Bought for less than $100k. We have fixed rate ATM on our mortgage. But as soon as it is ready to renew we hope things have settled down. We never want to live above our means. We got lucky.

We had to sell a piece of dream property this year because rates made payments go up so much that we could barely do minimum payments. We had planned to build on it eventually. Inflation and interest rates made it impossible. Now the dream is a memory. We just hope we can hold on to our current house.

Tax the wealthy. If we want to fix this problem money has to come from somewhere. The middle class any poor have nothing left to give. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for our government to have the spine to do it.

My guess is not too well. He’d crumble into a tiny ball and wait for it to be over. Man just when you think someone in the US can’t make things look any worse than they already are…

I guess the only hope now is to try and bankrupt him…again

It would be amazing if the jury said jail time would be more effective than another monetary settlement. Fingers crossed.

You get to offset gas for your car with less expensive electricity. We save about $100 or more a month in gas. Electric baseboard heating would definitely be expensive. Our oil bill was getting crazy bad, and with the recent inflation it would have been that much worse. Our heat pump keeps things comfortable at home in the winter and summer. If it gets too chilly we can use a space heater as we need. Overall per year we are still saving hundreds going electric.

Electric

We love getting the refund. After making a concerted effort to install a heat pump myself and purchase an affordable EV it helps pay for about a month’s worth of electricity each time we get it. We don’t consume any carbon based fuels at our home any longer. So it’s a big bonus for us. Next up is solar panels I think.

It’s better than bad.

Seems fair.

So how will NATO respond to Putin? Bad boy, don’t do it again!

I got some cheap solder with my solder station and it was the bane of my existence. Found some leaded solder I think I got from radio shack years ago and it works so well. I hate to say it but I haven’t yet had good success with unleaded solder. Someone please save me from the brain damage.

I guess Mr. Vermont man made his point.

It’s a bit ridiculous to write an article about everyone everywhere stopping animal product consumption all at once. That has no basis in reality. I would love to see the world shift as close to veganism as possible. Fact is this sort of shift takes a conscious effort by everyone to make a cultural and personal change in lifestyle. I’ve been vegan for a decade and haven’t met one other close personal family member or friend who was willing to make the change. We’re too far down the rabbit hole with regards to climate change to expect a massive shift when many individuals still deny the existence of the problem. My daughter’s generation are fucked. It makes me terribly sad that my generation and previous governing generations have done next to nothing to help. All I can hope is she doesn’t have to suffer during her lifetime.
