It’s as though getting to the core of problems and solving them to the greatest extent saves money.

I wish the US would consider this rather than ignoring some and inventing others.

Congrats on crossing $1M net worth. The first is the most satisfying and worthy of celebrateion, but you can’t tell anyone in your real life. So from a stranger on the internet, well done and onward to the next.

I also track my net worth monthly in Excel with a Google Sheet for my portfolio due to the free ticker formula. My portfolio returned 2.4% last month, but i’m likely a bit more conservatively invested than you as I’m worried about current valuations.

Yes, FPL has done a lot to prevent rooftop solar, but calling it “almost free” is not correct. Rooftop solar still comes with significant upfront costs. The weather of Florida degrades panels quicker with non-trivial odds of hurricane damage. Finally, Southwestern states receive much more solar irradiance.

If you are willing to be pragmatic and want solar in Florida, FPL’s solar together program is your best option. Like it or not, utility grade solar is 1/3 the LCOE.

Florida has some of the strictest building codes in the United States due to the hurricane and flooding risks.

May I ask the source of your comment?

Confirmed. Same price on my Walmart app.

Did you read the first words I wrote? I grew up and lived in a metric country. I didn’t know imperial at all.

I grew up with metric and moved to an imperial country as an adult. I now have a different view of the systems and honestly prefer imperial. Hear me out.

Imperial organically evolved over centuries to better match the lived human experience. The major units used now are more useful to the average person. The fact they are not base 10 is due to the fact that the main uses for each aren’t related in that way.

For temperature, 1 degree Fahrenheit is the minimum I can feel. 50 F is a middle temperature outdoors for many temperate climates: 0 F is very cold and 100 F is very hot. The temperature at which water boils or freezes at sea level is not as useful to my daily experience and the difference in a degree Celsius is too large.

I like inches, yards, and miles. I prefer ounces and pounds. Pints, quarts, and gallons now make more sense to me. I am not a scientist or engineer (who absolitely should use metric), but a guy trying to deal with weather, get places, and buy things to eat/drink.

Of course, if I learned an aircraft type was designed in imperial only, I wouldn’t get on it. Metric has its purpose. It’s just not as good for daily life.

I like Cracker Barrel’s four vegetarian sides plate. I can pick reasonably healthy options and the price isn’t terrible. They are my preferred interstate-adjacent dining option on roadtrips. I’m even a loyalty member.

Yet I can’t imagine spending one microsecond thinking about their logo let alone being stupid enough to be manipulated into having an opinion and then believing it relates to politics. Unless you are the majority shareholder, your view is utterly irrelevant. Shut up and either patronize the place or not.

There are a lot of people today on the right who cosplay as libertarians but somehow care deeply about the logo of a company they don’t own.

He mobilized the right more.

He lost because of Nader and a confusing ballot in PBC.

You write like you’re 14 and reason like you’re 12. I hope you’re a kid.

Its not a country. It’s extraterritorial.

A well thought out rebuttal that no doubt stretched your intellectual gifts.

It isn’t. Someone stated something completely false, and you are behaving like a Reddit brigade to censor truth.

Well, if you read the Headquarters of the United Nations Agreement (1947), you will find that the United States can deny visas for non-member states which includes the Palestinian Authority.

That doesn’t mean the UN isn’t extraterritorial.

Don’t acuse others of being pedantic when you’re just wrong. If you don’t understand the concepts, then don’t comment until you educate yourself.

The US signed a treaty granting the extraterritorial status. It’s not US territory unless the UN abandons it.

Completely incorrect.

It’s distasteful how people who are incorrect can bully and convince others to the contrary to bury truth.

The United Nations Plaza is firmly extraterritorial as stated in Article III, Section 7(a) of the Headquarters of the United Nations Agreement (1947). US law applies in this territory only to the extent it does not interfere with regulations of the UN which take precedent as defined in Article III, Section 8. So if the United States of America says the land is not American, why are you stating otherwise? Did you bother to look it up before mocking someone else?

As for your ignorant “but it’s within the borders of…” argument, Vatican City is located within contiguous Italy and even within its most populous city, yet it’s not just extraterritorial but a sovereign country. Did you forget the Holy See existed or do you just deny the validity of the Lateran Treaty because it is surrounded by Rome?

Finally, if all that weren’t true, the US has bombed its own territory and citizens before: Jayayu in 1950. Of course, if you are ignorant of the Holy See, why would you know that.

I thought the same, then I read about his confidentiality agreements to control narratives.

Gore lost the legal cases. A few more votes in Florida from Democrats who didn’t apply purity tests and voted Green instead and the world would be a much better place.
