Not as much time indeed, in December where I live sundown is at 1630.

Just throwing in my anecdata, used to be a late riser (often after ten), had a kid and now I wake up a bit after six. Sleeping in is after eight. I just have to get up when he does.
If I had to guess, I'd wonder if school conventionally starts early because pre-teens are up early.

something is horrifically wrong with your urban planning
Ok, agreed. Now what?
But seriously, this is the state of affairs for much of the country.

Well, eventually, when that computer has sophisticated software and all the appropriate sensors. An array of optical sensors that you ignore anyway won't really cut it.

That's the thing, I've never lived somewhere that gets to -6 and also runs a real chance of multi day power outages.
I'm sure it's a different story in some parts of the world, of course.

Personally I suspect a lot of the diehard adherents to gas cooking haven't had a chance to cook with a modern glass top resistance or induction stove. IMO the difference has shrunk dramatically.
Water heaters too, electrics have improved and the operating cost difference is really not that big. Electric water heaters might also be extremely valuable for demand response.
When it comes to space heating in cold climates though, I don't really know what replaces natural gas. Probably air source heat pumps, but they are still maturing.

It sounds like the name of a B

The various negative health outcomes we're seeing with refined &/or simple carbohydrates.

It's really more like a balance narrative. Hit reasonable ratios of protein, fats, and carbs.
High protein, low fat, low carb, low protein, high carb, high fat- collectively we've tried them all through one fad or another.
Currently IMO we're in a blowback period where we are seeing high carb is not panning out and many people are still afraid of fat, so protein is the next savior in line.

IMO while protein is needed for muscle building, recommendations like 3.3g/kg (I've even seen recommendations of 4.4g/kg) come from a "more is always better" mentality, along with a pop culture obsession with protein.
Personally, a simple flat 100g seems both a reasonable & attainable goal for most regular people building muscle without requiring exceptional diets (here I fall back on naturalism- I cannot believe that exceptional diets are required to get fit). You can easily hit that number with 1/4-1/3lb of meat a day plus whole grains and vegetables.

It's known in the ham community that pine needles diminish the range of UHF radios, so it fits with pre-existing knowledge.
Reportedly needles are about the same length as a UHF antenna, and so they tend to absorb the radiation.
5G is, I believe, somewhere in the UHF spectrum.

I don't know what the proper term is, but there's a certain trust of necessity at play. You have to pick some OS vendor to trust, or at least trust more than the others, because you need an OS.
