Just look at California, there was never much water and what is there gets mainly exported as vegetables, fruits, nuts, and wine. The rest is wasted on an insane number of golf courses.
Thunderbird here as well, with Lightning Calendar plugin. Simple, reliable, fast, decent filtering, easy to backup.....with one HUGE flaw: cannot share the profile on the network.
So this means as a company you can break trade embargoes, then whine loud enough, and then Trump will bail you out? Why bother with laws and abiding to them if they become utterly meaningless under this president?
What does a label do when even the smallest snack clocks in at 800 kcal (the unit is kilocalorie, not calorie). I rather have them look for means to have the food and beverage industry offer better quality and lower kcals with far less additional substances of questionable health impact with far less corn sirup and salt. Plus, make serving sizes match reality. A can of soup is not two servings, it is one serving....same for a "family size" bag of chips.
They said the same about the ATM and in return that made it cheaper to open more bank offices, essentially creating more banking jobs. Those doom and gloom folks also forget that people are very attached to their hard earned money and rather trust a person than a machine. Having real people at real brick and mortar locations will become the biggest differentiator.
Why would Google waste time and effort on a bot that calls a phone to make an appointment? I rather see them invent a system that makes it easy and inexpensive for any business to receive and confirm appointments online. I want to make reservations or a doc appointment at 10 at night. What good does a bot do when at that time only a different bot will be picking up the phone at best?
While the deal might not have been as effective as some wished, it was still better than nothing. Trump with his crow bar politics destroyed the last shred of dependability. Any contract with the US is no longer worth the paper it is written on. Either Trump resigns from it or simply ignores it. Other governments will seek more reliable strong partners, most likely Russia and China. Add to that the ridiculously stupid ultranationalistic isolationism that Trump is aiming for and the US will lose out on trade, good will, strategic partners, and above all influence. The sooner we, the people, can rid the US from the cancer that is Trump and his cronies the better it is. Sadly, there are significant amounts of people who fall for all of this....just shows how bad the US educational system has gotten. Six packs, baseball, and an idiot as president still makes people happy. And there we thought Reagan and the Bushes were unmitigated disasters.
If the intent is to make text more readable, then start using more commata in written language. That will properly segment logical units far better than double spaces after a full stop. While we are at it, ban the use of APA style inline references in favor of footnotes or end notes. By now all have access to computerized word processors and we no longer need to accommodate the shortcomings of typewriters.
From my experience the biggest threat to urban trees are utility companies. I understand that they want to protect their infrastructure, but they destroy the trees and call it "maintenance". Put all power and telco lines underground in conduits that cannot be damaged by tree roots. That will cost a fortune, but I bet the ROI is rather high. I can't imagine that it is less expensive to have crews and equipment on hand to constantly fix toppled poles and cut back trees.
Another option is to go back to marking property lines with trees. I live in a neighborhood that was developed in the 1920s and on each corner of the properties is/was a tree. Not the most exact marker for property lines, but one that many appreciate. Trees keep water away from structures and give shade in the summer lowering AC cost. And they look nice.
I had exactly the same thought. If Google wants to advance the Android brand then they need to mandate in the licensing agreement that new versions are made available to users within 3 months after release. Phone vendors will hate this, so the compromise is to limit the mandate to 5 years after initial sale of a model. After that the phones are EOL anyway given how cheaply they are built (and how expensive they still are).
Buying a house is typically a good investment. Even in bad times owning realty is always beneficial. Many look at home ownership as a pure investment opportunity where they aim to make a profit. I know times changed and people are moving more than they used to, but at some point it is better to stay put and pay off a mortgage making it far more reasonable to stay in your home once retirement comes. In most cases buying is even cheaper than renting, even with any additional cost of maintenance and upkeep....which is rolled into rent anyway. I used to rent a house and then bought a house two lots up the street. Doubled the living space and saved over 200$ per month ever since.
And where everyone has zero public services of any kind. Yep, low housing cost, but you pay for tons of stuff out of your own pocket while earning significantly lower wages. Most of the municipalities and in case of Kansas have critical budget shortfalls because taxes are constantly cut, which benefits a few already rich folks. Look up how well Brownback's Reagonomics worked in Kansas: massive budget shortfall due to significant lower tax revenue, which caused many public employees to get fired and especially school funding to be cut, while at the same time not enough private sector jobs were created, increasing overall unemployment. Sure, low taxes and no regulation, but also an administration that was rendered inoperable and forced to cut everything across the board. That is what massive republican tax cuts get you. Reagonomics didn't work for Reagan and didn't work for anyone who tried after.
This has not always to do with HOAs. There are also historical districts that set strict rules. Most codes are more practical in nature, such as how many windows a house can have. That matters for fire safety especially in densely built neighborhoods.Or the pipe coming from a sump pump, it is usually not allowed to be connected to the sewer line, but has to dump outside and away from structures. That is to protect the sewer system during a rain storm. There are other codes such as no longer allowing aluminium, iron, or knob and tube cabling, no lead water or drain pipes, have cabling in conduits up to 30 ft high, working smoke alarms in multi-unit dwellings.... That all costs money, not only for new construction, but also for remodels. Those rules exist for a reason. Adding solar panels will increase cost, but there is a general benefit to the community. The lack of affordable housing has many other reasons, mainly that municipalities shy away from being landlords and that those who already live in an area are typically strongly opposed to have any affordable housing in their area. Administrators and politicians deciding otherwise tend to be looking for a new job soon after. Companies are not bound to turn a big profit on affordable housing either. The housing crisis is not due to cost, but because we as a society don't want low income households next door. Once that attitude changes and profit maximization is not the core focus, the issue can be resolved in rather short time.
I'm not familiar with CA building codes, but I wonder which requirements they have for insulation. Preventing from heat to come into the house will significantly lower the power consumption for cooling and thus lower the power needs of households...which, by the way, are on average three times higher in the US than in Europe.
Spent fuel can simple be dropped straight into the ocean....like on an old train toilet. Once done the entire reactor is sunk without any need of expensive cleanup.
So how come the government controls the airwaves and auctions off frequencies to the highest bidder? There is no free market in the US! Having less competitors for whatever reason is always bad for consumers and especially for the 30,000 employees.There will also be impacts on those companies that sell the CDMA radios. After a merger I am sure CDMA will be phased out in favor of GSM. There is no point for T-Mobile to support two tech stacks.
Did we learn anything from history? No...still spending trillions on weapons and border walls and starting wars over religious believes and regional power.
So limit combustion engine's consumptions, offer significant subsidies to insulate buildings, stop illuminating entire regions at night, invest in high speed rail rather than regional air traffic, and end idiotic ideas like extensive farming in water starved areas (California) and propping up megacities in inhospitable areas (such as Las Vegas). But that bit of overall inconvenience will be too much...and currently we are going the other way like more coal burning.
No, it won't! Local laws typically prohibit more than one license holder per service. If company X has cable and company Y has phone then no matter how expensive they get there will be no more competition. The only thing that will happen is them losing subscribers. You need to bitch to your local politicians to fix that moronic setup.

Who writes these summaries? An exodus implies that there is a mass. It's like white mustang, ATM machine, LCD display, and free gift.

These bandwidth offers by Comcast are for asymmetrical service. It is not the same speed down as it is up.
