My old Merino wool shirts both have a hole now. They were the cheapest Amazon ones I found and sold even cheaper because the label was wrong.

Scores of new small solar farms that sell clean, local electricity directly to customers are popping up. The setup, dubbed “community solar,” is designed to bring solar power to people who don’t own their own homes or can’t install panels — often at prices below retail electricity rates.
Cut near the ground, then take a dauber full of roundup/glyphosate concentrate and carefully put it on the cut, making sure to coat the outer edge of the cut.
You want to make sure to get it on the cambium layer in the bark, as this will be where the privet pulls the roundup down into the root, killing the extensive root system that privet can develop.
Note that even with using roundup it may take a couple years to actually kill the privet.

All the big corporate unions are like this. They've been captured by groups that are more inclined to work for the corporate owners and the "friendly" politicians than for the union members.

This is good, but more work needs to be done to hook up private, home based solar and wind systems to the grid. Some local power companies still drag feet to tie home solar to their grid.
You need to pull your usage records from the electric company to have a baseline of what you will need in terms of Kw over the course of a month. It should be on your bill.
Then figure out what you can cut, and what size generator/solar panels/battery backup you'll need to get by. Make sure to figure out what you are going to do in the cold months and the hot months.
THEN figure out if you are even allowed to be "off grid" in your area. You may be required to keep the electric line running to the house, but you can shut this off at your breaker box so you won't use any electricity. You will still get a monthly bill from the electric company for the hookup (it's usually very small, $5-$15).
For thousands of years humans have lived in "15 min villages" where almost everything has been nearby.
And most 15 min city definitions I've seen includes some sort of bike option.
I encourage everyone who lives in a city (or suburb) to look up routes from their home to groceries/pharmacies/schools/etc on google maps. I just did for myself and I'm already in a 15 minute city.
What's lacking is the infrastructure for people to safely get to these places without a car.
Not just incompetent, but also just plain mean.
After making an incompetent decision (super high api costs) he didn’t reassess the situation, he just started lashing out.
First at the app devs, then at the mods, now at the users.
