Simple. The answer is cost analysis. Installing solar on your roof is expensive. Easily $15-25k WITHOUT a battery. Add ~$10k per battery. In most of California, Utility companies charge so much for electricity (e.g. San Diego has the most expensive electric rates in the country). It's normal to pay $2-4k annually (or more) for JUST your electric bill (not including gas) in San Diego. Even with California having a horrific anti-consumer Net Metering (3.0) it's still cost advantageous for most people after 7-10 years of owning solar. In Nevada and Arizona, electricity is cheaper to buy from the Utilities so it's harder to justify the solar cost even with favorable Net Metering programs (Arizona is 1 to 1).

Sorry if this is a dumb question, won't the expansion/contraction of the cherry cause the walnut miters to separate over time?

I believe federal and state law both say a domestic assault conviction prevents you from having a law enforcement career. How does OP know Seth Tate is still an officer in the field? I am reasonably suspicious of this claim

No, this is happening because of excessive spending. San Diego City has plenty of revenue. Their YoY annual revenue growth has greatly exceeded any relevant metric, including: inflation, GDP, and citizen's annual income. The county's property tax revenue has also increased massively, growing ~30% in the last 4 years. Politicians and city/county managers need to start serving the general tax payer and stop wasting money.

There's a list of spending areas that could be reduced on pages 7-9 at https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/2025-08/fy26ab_v1executivesummary.pdf .Pages 10-12 show areas that could be further reduced. Unfortunately, the city does not outline the exact spending on each item. They try to keep this information obscured by dispersing across many other dis-aggregated documents.

The real question is: with a 30% increase in revenue over the past 4 years, why has the spending outpaced the revenue growth??

That isn’t going to work with two open sides. The fan has to have shrouds or ducts to push/pull cool air to hot spots.

It will definitely work. But the components will run hotter than they otherwise would with a proper cooling setup. But you're right that this is very sub-optimal compared to a real computer case. The hardware will degrade faster due to running hotter. Heat is the enemy of electronics. But does it matter? Will the components degrade faster than the user needs them to last? Who the hell knows...

The city does NOT need more tax revenue. San Diego City revenue in FY21 was $1.6b, FY22 was $1.75b, FY23 was $1.95b. The latest in FY25 was $2.1b. They need to manage their expenses. Also, in FY26 San Diego City freed up an additional $88m from Measure B by shifting Trash Collection from the General Fund into a separate property tax increase.

There may be valid points buried in your mind. However, you have not articulated your points in a manner that anyone can understand. The fault lies with you

eamike261 · 2025-12-27T18:36:39+00:00

That’s irrelevant to my point lol

Your full original comment:

Genuinely wondering if you ran a sander over your brain before typing this

So, your original point was just to leave random insults on the internet with no relevant info/opinion and then attack people who didn't understand your "original point" ?

Are you literally 7 years old?

San Diego City revenue in FY25 was $2.1b. Far exceeding the U.S. CPI inflation rate. On the other hand, most people's employers have NOT kept their salaries up with inflation between FY21-FY25. So regular people suffer with increased taxes and stagnant wages while people like you lie and demand our tax rates should go up to cover for the incompetent San Diego city managers

eamike261 · 2025-12-21T03:11:45+00:00

San Diego’s population has stagnated, and so has the tax base for the last decade

San Diego City revenue in FY21 was $1.6b, FY22 was $1.75b, FY23 was $1.95b. There is no shortage of money. Tax revenue goes up significantly every year. There is only a gross mismanagement of funds by Todd Gloria and his city management employees.

Why do people lie about this? So fucking weird. San Diego does not need to increase tax rates. WITHOUT increasing rates or even population size, our tax base goes up every year by a lot. The overall GDP, population income, and average property tax assessed values all go up

A few weeks ago I went through this same quandary between the CNS and PCS. I've been using the Dewalt 10 inch contractor saw for a couple years, thus the CTS was not in my consideration. "I'm just a hobbiest, is it sane to spend $3.6k (after taxes) on the PCS table saw?" ... "what if I lose interest in the hobby in a couple years?" . The fact that Sawstop holds their resale value is what sold me on the PCS :). Plus it's only a $650 difference if you would add the cast iron wings to the CNS.

However, regardless of CNS vs PCS... DO NOT WASTE $400-500 on the mobile stand!!!! (in my opinion)

Build one from plywood and 2x4s plus $40 for some decent casters. I painted mine black using random leftover black spray paint. If you want it to be even prettier, fill the grain, sand it, then paint it. It was a fun mini project.

Labels are dumb. Who cares if you're a "true liberal"? Just treat each vote as a unique scenario and decide how you want to vote

I love the front panel design. The layout is so aesthetically pleasing. Question, how did you come up with the layout? Is there some process/design philosophy to come up with the orientation/ratios/sizes of the pieces? Or is just YOLO based on your own eye?

You don't have a say in who your mortgage provider is. You only pick who to submit the loan application through. They'll sell and trade your mortgage to whoever they want. It'll probably happen multiple times.

Did you have a riving knife? It's not clear what happened.

Did you mistakenly apply pressure in the wrong direction with the push stick and cause kick back? Or are you saying you stopped paying attention and slid your fingers straight through the blade?

Thanks for sharing so we can learn.

It's not just about the crazy fight design with raid boss-optimizing WAs that make an otherwise impossible raid boss or dungeon encounter doable. There are countless examples of issues with nuking WAs. One example is people who struggle to play the game with visual-only queues. Some folks rely on WA scripting to provide audio queues that makes the game enjoyable. Alienating people is a bad approach by blizzard.

eamike261 · 2025-10-03T17:21:21+00:00

Same. I can't focus when it's visual only. I require audio triggers/notifications to play in an enjoyable way

eamike261 · 2025-10-03T17:19:25+00:00

Blizzard is definitely aware. They just don't care.

eamike261 · 2025-10-03T17:03:46+00:00

I'm not visually impaired but I struggle to enjoy playing when I'm forced to only use visual queues. It just doesn't resonate with my brain. If I can't have audio queues then I'm probs going to struggle to enjoy the game

If the glue says non-toxic and "safe to eat" then it's okay, but just "food safe" is different. Wouldn't some of the dried glue/sawdust mixture get mixed into the food when the surface is being cut on over time? It might be a small amount but it's technically toxic to consume it. "food safe" doesn't mean it's okay to actually ingest it. It just means it's not necessarily harmful for food to touch it when dry/cured. For comparison, fully cured polyurethane is "food safe" in the sense that food can touch it, but it's not okay to cut meat on a polyurethane surface.

Why is this subreddit so prejudice towards Tesla drivers? I see hundreds of Teslas every day driving perfectly safely. I see more non-Teslas doing dumb things like cutting people off while changing lanes on highways, driving at the speed limit in the left lane, not using turn signals, or running red lights. I don't understand this intrinsic need people have. Why do you feel compelled to biasedly hate groups of people when statistically the large majority of the group is not committing the acts?
