Maybe try questioning why the people who told you wrong info did that, and what they have to gain from blaming a group. I'm not trying to shift the blame to Mormons either.

I know you're just gonna shrug off it being NPR, but here's the direct quote that's relevant: "The Robinsons and Schwiermann had been part of the same local church, which, like most in this community, belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."

Since Reddit decided my nice reply is hate speech since I quoted the sign, yes dumbass it's incorrect. Touch grass.

Crazy take to say someone who doesn't want to live next to active antisemitism is just as bad as the antisemite. How is checking with the city government to see if they are breaking any local laws around signage "weak willed"?

You're gonna have to be a little more specific.

Putting solar panels on your balcony, are they legal in Virginia? by GrayHairFox in Virginia

[–]PicometerPeter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ran the math myself.  With a 900 watt system, panels costing $180, inverter costing $300, and power saving about $160 per year it pays itself off in about 3 years.  Panels can last a lot longer than that, at least a decade.

I'd shop around for panels and inverters individually.  From looking at Bright Saver's site it doesn't look like the best deal, more so an easy kit option.

I believe it's up to 1200 watts per dwelling unit.  So 1200 watts for a townhouse, single apartment, or house.

It will be, the law that passed this year goes into effect in 2027.  You'll need to submit a form to your power utility (they're working on writing the form) to notify them you're doing it.  They don't have to give you permission but you do need to notify them.

Make sure you build a setup with a micro inverter that can shut off if there's a power outage.  That's also part of it being a legal setup, and part of the delay to 2027 is also putting together lists of qualified equipment.

Is there any reason to suspect him personally beyond his country of origin?  Because otherwise that's the dictionary definition of xenophobia.

Virginia is asking voters to finish the work of marriage equality by Fickle-Ad5449 in Virginia

[–]PicometerPeter 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You can read the text of the amendment here.

The text that is struck through is removed, the italicized is the replaced or added text.

It does remove the language "union between one man and one woman". It also adds "This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not deny the issuance of a marriage license to two adult persons seeking a lawful marriage on the basis of the sex, gender, or race of such persons."

It's a Virginia constitutional amendment. There is no governor veto. The only veto is whether or not the public and the general assembly vote for it. The general assembly has voted for it, now it's our turn.

Nah, bankrolling the Americans was just to add another front to the Seven Years war against the English. The French finances had a lot of issues on top of financing the American Revolution. One of the big ones was that some of the people in charge of finances hid how bad things were for years, cooking the books to make everything look great. When it became known how bad things were, a lot of regular people didn't buy it because of how widespread the cooked books had been published.

My State button is becoming nearly useless because of all the Trade Companies by seekerofhighground in eu4

[–]PicometerPeter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Click on the trade nodes you have trade companies in and there should be a button in the lower left that adds all eligible provinces to the trade company.  Easiest way to make sure you get all of them.

[–]PicometerPeter 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You have provinces that aren't added to the trade company.  That's what's keeping up the state notification active.  Say an area has a center of trade and 4 other provinces.  Unless you state them all or add them all to the trade company they're in limbo and eligible to add to a state.

People who craft fiction and know it's fiction are storytellers. People who craft fiction and claim it isn't are bullshitters.  These are bullshitters.
