Neutral: Yes, I have several open recalls.

This sums it up well:

Nice writeup. I had no idea she did all of those other things.

Trump is going to fuck the economy, and then blame it on the Dems. The vast majority of people will believe it.

Shake your damn head all day if you like. As I said, it’s better for me to take the .58/mile. (Better = more money in my pocket).

It’s far easier to just take the .58/mile, and it’s probably a better deal for somebody driving for Lyft/Uber. But I don’t really care, as I don’t drive for them, and it’s much better for me to take the .58 than the actual costs.

I own a duplex, with separate meters. Renters pay the electricity, but I pay the water and trash.

None of them, because the planet will be uninhabitable?

You are confused about my comment. I was replying about tax deductions, not the rate that Uber and Lyft pay. The IRS allows a 58cent per mile tax deduction when using your vehicle for work.

Although I’m pro solar, I think it’s incredibly fucking stupid to mandate it for all new construction. California is a HUGE state, and there are plenty of houses being built that have terrible solar access. It should be part of every house where it makes sense, not just every house.

Where I live the payoff isn’t impacted by owning an EV*. The power company tracks how much power you’ve used and how much you’ve generated. At the end of the year, you pay any difference. If you’ve made a surplus, you get nothing.

Is it common in that area for landlord to pay the power bill? It’s definitely not normal here on the west coast.

I have a rental with a good angle, lots of sun, etc. I just can’t figure out how to make it work for me and the renters.

About tax deductions: it’s very simple. The IRS allows $0.58 per mile, but it changes a bit each year. There’s another option that allows you save receipts and whatnot, but I imagine it would be a huge pain in the ass. Much of my tax deductible driving takes place on the freeway, but if it was all stop and go, I’d…

Reverse: I live in the Pacific Northwest (in a less rainy section) and the payoff for solar panels is about 10 years. In the sunny southwest and west coast, the payoff is even less.

Unless it’s a Catholic priest. Then it just gets ignored until the next time it gets ignored.

It’s a very, very rare day that I celebrate the death of a person.

“the Associated Press reported that F.K. believed she was romantically involved with a U.S. Army captain named Terry Garcia who was preparing to smuggle diamonds out of Syria.”

Neutral: I’m building a house and shop, and plan to put on a steel roof.
