Not so sure, more and more people fed up with greedy price gouging seem to be cutting back on tipping. You see it in business rags trying to sell it as "are consumers getting more stingy?"
Tips go away, tipped workers go away, tip-model businesses then have to adapt or die. (While whining that nobody wants to work, I'm sure.)
We'll take our expensive luxury EVs with 2 miles a charge and like them...er I mean buy giant pickup trucks instead that use 20 gallons of gas / mile while the world burns.
And a new set of dependency problems depending on the base image. And then fighting layers both to optimize size, and with some image hubs, "why won't it upload that one file change? It's a different file now! The hashes can't possibly be the same!" And having to find hackey ways to slap it so the correct files are in the correct places.
Then manipulating multi-arch manifests to work reliably for other devs in a cross-processor environment so they don't have to know how the sausage works...
So here's a dumb question. Why don't we just plant the fastest growing carbon eatingest trees...everywhere. Now? Seems simpler to use a plant instead of a Plant.
Each state is varying levels of stupid. One of the few times where the existence of the Federal government makes sense. They should ban the bans at the Federal level.
So glad my state banned the ability for HOAs to do that.
Oh man, totally. Local HVAC peeps try to claim heat pumps are super expensive and omg stay away...even though it's just an AC that goes both ways. Probably scared of the cut into their gas furnace maintenance revenue.
The compressors on full house-scale non-split heat pumps are same power draw as AC units, which is many amps more than the peanuts a furnace fan uses, but if OP has an AC unit, the heat pump also replaces it.
I get the complexity though. If I want to upgrade my home to have service for charging electric cars, and all electric heat/cool, the amperage draw is high enough that it would require an upgrade from "consumer"-level to "business"-level power input.
All that money will keep them safe from the mad max, of course. /s
These hedge fund types are near-sighted idiots with horse blinders that can't see beyond the next quarter.
America's entire Capitalist model is based on 3-month cycles of amnesia. It is designed to forget. Business could be run successful, profitable, and non-asshole, but the hunt for the next quarterly positive shareholder report by design blinds them permanently from comprehending history.
It started with requiring larger antennas, then larger batteries. LTE was super inefficient, and low frequency bands need large antennas.
Then the industry tried to push tablets and smartphones to sell more devices. Most people settled on a single device, the large smartphone that already exists and forego the tablet. In a lot of cases forego the computer as well.
Somewhere in the middle, the industry self-proclaimed that people obviously prefer large smartphones, when there were no small ones available anymore.
...and here we are.
The same group that will vote for pro-rich-person legislations because they think that some day they'll be rich too.
