I think this is due to flawed thinking about how often people move, the average is incredibly low sometimes. They never follow up via email or phone which are not tied to an address.

The average person who owns a home moves every 8 years... Right before 2008 the average for an owned home was much lower at 4 years. That's not including renters.

Natural gas is highly dispatchable which is probably why Germany went high renewable and high natural gas. Sun stops shining turn on natural gas.

But it's just a symbiotic relationship that will end eventually. Batteries are becoming cheaper intra-day options.

We are going to be testing higher and higher limits of how much of the super cheap solar and wind can be on the grid and then fill in with dispatchable gaps which can be filled in by hydro, natural gas, biomass, batteries or firm which is nuclear, geothermal, coal. Reducing the higher CO2 options.

Cries in Phoenix garden. I'm still a little surprised they made it that long.

They had some of the best chicken and it was all vegan/vegetarian.

I went there a lot when they changed. They said it was just a rebranding and it was the same people but something felt off and IDK what it was but the pho wasn't as good the next time.

Azalea flea market, when the summer was on last year there was more produce there then many farmer's markets.

I think the other farmers markets charge for a spot but azalea they just let anyone come in.

Vietnam 1 does good work.

Honestly between pho thien phat, Vietnam 1 and pho tay do they all do good and similar tastes and like blocks from each other.

Stuff away from there hasn't been as good.

>Veto 1 - "SB 1051, would allow utility companies and broadband service providers to park their vehicles on private property temporarily without the owner's consent and prohibit property owners from removing or towing the vehicle for up to 72 hours." "This bill violates the fundamental rights of property owners" - Youngkin

If this was written as the person asked for the service provider then yes, also 72 hours seems like a long ass time.

Honestly there are a lot of Cherry blossoms and dogwoods around Richmond with it being that much closer.

I feel like there has to be a media campaign since this year the Cherry blossom stuff is on full press.

What the facts are:

  1. Wind and solar can not be 100% of the grid.

  2. wind and solar are heading for even more dirt cheap prices.

  3. Most places haven't hit hard problems with increasing wind and solar to take a larger chunk of the energy market

  4. batteries are a booming sector

  5. we have some level of 0 carbon baseload power, some estimates say we could reach 80% wind/solar with hydro, nuclear etc which we are not far off 20%.

More speculation but these debates usually don't think enough about geothermal but advanced mining leading to increased viability of geothermal locations is likely.

Cemeteries in most other countries actually operate differently. Basically you bury a person then after like 100+ years they would then move the body to a crypt. The new spot would then be paid for by someone to bury them. Therefore having a plausible working model of how to continue maintenance on the grave.

American cemeteries don't do this and so when the cemetery becomes full they basically run out of money and someone who is not and will never be buried there needs to upkeep it.

Edit: I think American cemeteries do some investments to keep it updated from the grave spot.

I think we basically created the developer group by adding regulations. Developers basically came about because they jump through regulations and funding and stuff otherwise it would mostly be construction workers.

Pre-1980 the amount of "developers" was much greater because you could just turn a single family home into 3 row homes.

Developers wouldn't really come from elsewhere to build 3 houses on the former property of one.

Who builds and what gets built is partially based on size.
