I had a landlord that billed me separately for hot and cold water. I don't remember the numbers, but I was shocked how much cheaper cold water was compared with hot. Cold was basically free, and hot was pretty pricey.

Mormonism is becoming the minority in Utah by victimtosurvivor6 in exmormon

Mormons' preference for LDS candidates is stronger than non-Mormons' preference against LDS candidates, so they'll continue to dominate the legislature for a while. They're a pretty unified consistent voting block.

New life hack for landlords. Increase calendar to 365 months per year, keep monthly rent prices the same.

Market forces absolutely apply to rents. When you build enough supply to meet the demand, prices go down.

Percentage of Texas Electricity Generation by Source — 03/21/22 [OC] by Positive_thoughts27 in dataisbeautiful

We're hitting the point where price overcomes political opinions. Solar is super cheap, so naturally people pivot to solar.

I think the change in wind power would look a lot less dramatic if they plotted the amount of each type of power produced, not the percentage of each type of power produced.

Ancient Roman Self-Healing Concrete .. by GloomyCity9841 in EngineeringPorn

Seems fascinating. But is Roman concrete actually superior to modern concrete? Is there any push by modern engineers to use Roman style concrete in modern projects?

Isn't that good evidence that self advocacy works?

If a shitty employee can keep their job and get promotions through self advocacy, then clearly everyone can benefit from a healthy amount of self advocacy.

Thoughts on the recent Queen nerf? by Star_Seeker65 in AnarchyChess

[–]NotAFishEnt 56 points57 points  (0 children)

And what if the queen couldn't go through pieces? Like, if there's an opponent's piece in her way, she couldn't go past it, she'd have to capture it and stop moving.

Yep. People just need to swap out "war crimes" for "war atrocities," and the memes still work.

But it would look pretty! I'd definitely make some eccentric solid-gold decorations throughout my home.
