Reply to Transgender couple considering moving to Boston by pinkrosxen

There's no way our Governor would sign an anti-gay or anti-trans anything. Not gonna happen.

As far as the best place to live, there are a lot of great places to live. I love the cape, Boston/Cambridge/Somerville are all quite safe but $$$$$. Northampton/Amherst are amazing, a lot more affordable, and have really good access to New York City.

Reply to Are closets required in bedrooms? by HomeBeets

I would consider speaking with another agent. This closet stuff is nonsense. A lot of people prefer much larger rooms with designed clothes storage - see Ikea. They make these types of furniture because they sell a lot.

Reply to Low-cost battery built with four times the capacity of lithium by BlitzOrion

Other articles refer to these new batteries made from as being larger, more sized for uses where a larger form factor isn't an issue. Appropriate for buildings. Can be recharged many times faster and many more times than lithium based batteries without fire risks.

We're going to be having these batteries for our homes instead of generators shortly.

Reply to Renault's heavy electric trucks are now available to order by Sorin61

From the article: With the expansion of its electric range, Renault Trucks is taking another step in its eMobility strategy and targets: By 2030, the manufacturer aims to generate 50 per cent of its sales from electric vehicles. By 2040, 100 per cent of the vehicles marketed are to be locally CO2-neutral.

Sounds like an ambitious timeline.

The range sounds limited and there's a lot of data missing, regardless this is positive

Reply to Honey improves key measures of cardiometabolic health, including blood sugar and cholesterol levels -; especially if the honey is raw and from a single floral source. Honey is a complex composition of common and rare sugars, proteins, organic acids and other bioactive compounds by Wagamaga

This summarizes only one major reason we keep bees on our farm - taking care of ourselves. The other major reason is our orchard.

Reply to A perspective on mixed reality and industry directions by Sirisian

I expected Google glasses to be embraced by more people and was wrong. I do suspect that these enhanced realities to become mainstream because of the obvious usefulness, but maybe first as heads-up displays in self-driving vehicles before returning to eyewear, including contacts. It just makes sense.

Meta VR appears to require more of a disconnect from reality. I understand that need but for some of us it's similar to taking drugs. I'm certain this will be embraced by a subset of the population, but for now seems like an expensive toy
