It's a shame what's happened to my local HVAC contractor. It used to be a great local operation where a real person picked up when you called. But lately, after a private equity group took over, it's all automated calls and foreign call centers. The personal touch is gone and, sadly, their service quality has taken a noticeable hit. It's just not the same anymore.

If you're in the US. Starting next year, the Inflation Reduction Act added a $1900 tax credit for purchasing heat pump water heaters so it might pay off earlier than you think.

This is an essential skill for everyone to learn. The article lightly touches on how to learn to be more assertive. If you want a more thorough guide I highly recommend the book, When I Say No I Feel Guilty.

This is basically what is referred to in the industry as "high concept." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_concept
Bob Iger, Ex-CEO of Disney, was a big proponent of high concept movies. You can read more about it in the screenwriting book, Save the Cat. https://www.amazon.com/Save-Last-Book-Screenwriting-Youll/dp...

This. Also, don't forget you can always stay at a RV campsite and use their 240v plug to charge your car.

What’s hilarious with your position is that your “side”, the liberals, is perceived to be immune the conspiracy theories. For example, like how QAnon is widely believed throughout the conservative community. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/03/30/qanons-cons...

Can't tell you're being sarcastic or not but there was an executive order[1] signed in July to address this. We'll see if this will bring down prices.

No. They have a rear-facing camera that shows the interior of the car and then they have one that is located above the license plate.

Yep. You're right. This is why I put a piece black electrical tape over the rear-facing camera in my Model Y.

That's a great way to put it. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but that's totally what is happening on IG. A lot of DTC brands have basically saturated my feed. I'm not sure how much longer this can continue without losing engagement. Anecdotally my own interest in IG has been waning the past year almost to the point of deletion.

Yes. There is a link in the email that leads you to the settings page but I hadn't logged in a while so after entering my phone number along with the code they sent me I also had to enter a code they sent to my email. My point being that clicking the link in the email should automatically turn off the "feature" I shouldn't have to log in.

Yup. This is exactly what I took it as. Between this and their other data sharing policies I decided to delete my account.
