well, that's what the input boxes are for :) I don't know what the electric OR or gas rate is for wherever that person lives. But I think even your example of $2/liter, is a good thing for folks to internalize: the extremely high gas prices in europe, AFTER a worldwide systemic shock, at $7.57/gallon is break-even with a Prius at 56MPG at German/Italian prices of $.4/kwhr. Electricity is expensive, and at least in my state, I'm not seeing a serious commitment to doing something about it.

can you clarify how you got that result?

70,000 - 8800 (married filing jointly) - 2000 (two dependents) = $59200 taxable income, $2960 tax bill. An effective rate of 4.22%

To reach the site's stated 3.29%, this family would need to make around 32k a year.

Fwiw, it appears the average household income in Massachusetts is about 80k.

But the new Workspace plan is still different for 5+ users:

" Customers that have 5 or more End Users will receive a total amount of Google Drive storage equal to 5TB times the number of End Users, with more storage available at Google's discretion upon reasonable request to Google. "

Existing customers (under G-suite) may be grandfathered for an arbitrarily long time, in which case I would agree you don't need to worry.

That's correct. But the new, Google-involved behavior is that for 5+ users (which was previously "unlimited"):

" Customers that have 5 or more End Users will receive a total amount of Google Drive storage equal to 5TB times the number of End Users, with more storage available at Google's discretion upon reasonable request to Google. "

That is new behavior, and rubbing some people the wrong way.

I think the more curious thing is how long will they grandfather in the existing Gsuite users to the old, "unlimited" behavior. If they do that for long enough, at least it wouldn't feel like a bait-and-switch.

Have you tried using option-shift-[f1] to subdivide? or the brightness slider in the settings.

With a properly installed thermostatic mixing valve, you don't even need that. The water will always exit at a safe, constant-ish temperature regardless of the water temperature in the heater, by mixing in the cold supply.

Holy moly. That price per million btu is a lot less than the number I stumbled across. Makes it even more obvious.

I was curious about this a while ago and did some napkin math.

Natural gas is roughly $15 for 1 million BTU. There are 3412 BTU in a kwhr, so if you heated resistively, you'd need 293 kwhr to get 1 million BTU.

In my area, which I feel has pretty high electricity cost, we pay $.24 per kwhr, so that'd be $70.

Therefore, you need a 70/15 (4.666) COP for your heat pump to match natural gas by price. My understanding is that that would be an unusually high number for cold weather conditions.

This is close enough to what we do -- and it works -- but since we support multiple releases at a time, it often ends up feeling like merging is pointless. Merging a dev branch into trunk feels good, but honestly most git interactions involve cherry-picking sets of commits to old releases, or to create hotfixes (So much, in fact, that we built some tooling around it to make it easier to not screw up). So then, you start to wonder, why am I special casing this one situation and using merge to trunk, and using cherry pick everywhere else.
