Fair few states in the US don't have inspections. (And a few that "do" are really limited and almost meaningless. Like Ohio.)

*except when I have to go outside of the limit of freedom because a special case but it's me so it's ok.

Probably make as much use of the scam mortgage insurance that they can too. I forget what it's actually called but it's a scam IMO. $100 a month baked into my escrow for insurance to the lender in case I lost the house. To my knowledge it provides me no benefit.

Upside is when I refinanced it was taken off. (Think the whole first time home owner program requires it for the initial loan.)

Not OP but searched up EE's video on a topic like this. Been a long while since I watched it so I don't remember much about it in description is the sources. So at the very least you can check some of that type of stuff.

But yeah in general an ICE is horrendous at efficiency vs electric. An ICE blows some 70+% of its energy on making heat we don't use but instead actively use some of the available energy made to cool it.

People want to trust it as a source of quick knowledge. It is easier to be told 9 goes into 81 a total of 8 times trusting that the computer is always right, because it had access to everything, than to work out the answer given was wrong and is actually 9.

Think of WebMD. People love to self diagnose despite it commonly being known as a bad practice. But they do so because they can do it with less effort, faster, and cheaper than making an appointment to drive to an office so you can speak with a doctor that runs a few tests and gets back to you in a week saying they aren't sure and need to do that process all over again.

Pretty sure I joined in 2011 as well. I'd check but why give them traffic. The website was only still usable with old reddit and the app is total trash. RiF is what I used to interact with reddit about 99% of the time. When they axed it I left and the flow of people over to Lemmy has made it just fine for my needs.

Sure it is still a little lacking for some of the subs but it's getting there.

Week by week it becomes more and more enticing. Most creators I watch are on it as well so I wouldn't really lose much.

Have always loved dark chocolate. As I got older I liked the darker stuff more. 85-90%. (Fyi 100% is no good. Lol.) Milk chocolate has always been a no for me. Best I can do is tolerate it if the flavor is mostly masked by whatever it is encasing.

You must be great at tag.

Sony Xperia 1 III. Aside from server issues in the first few days this month with Lemmy the Jerboa app has been working well. Seems fairly close enough ish to RiF for me. Really probably has a lot more going on than RiF ever did. Some mild stuff to get used to but overall a good experience. Was happy to see the ability to change the post sizes to smaller so I can see more at a given time.
