There might be no state income taxes but money gotta come from somewhere. People complain about property taxes here, some places there are just absolutely horridly expensive.

There are dirt bikes for the street, they are called street bikes. I see some around at times. It's about being road-worthy, headlights, signals, mirrors and such. Do you think these people that do this illegally as is, would when there are places to drive these legally? Or if their manners of driving would be proper versus their complete illegal behavior currently? Doubt any of it and biggest one being them even bothering to have the proper equipment or paying for registration and insurance.

I would think they are trying to do this with implants to reduce immunosuppressants or rid them altogether?

It appears luxury housing is the only damn thing being made and allowed to continue. It's fuckin stupid the shit that's being pulled everywhere with housing. Here in EP the mayor made a big photoshoot before election of "breaking ground" on a housing project, that's been sitting for years. A percentage of which is supposed to be affordable. That pile of dirt that they literally brought in instead of actually just digging some up from this empty lot is still there, untouched. While on the other end of the street a nice apartment or condo building is put in. Then there's the Kettle Point development that literally paid a fine just so they wouldn't have to do a percentage for "the poors". Then up the road more where there was gonna be a huge waterfront development with a bunch of housing, a percentage affordable, and shops, restaurants and what not. Straightened out the land and now just sitting there some years, long empty waterfront strip. Then there's Exxon that owns the most land in the city and most of it empty now and they don't pay property taxes on any of their land, I looked it up. It's all valued at $0.

Pretty sure the guy said it was supposed to be fake gas, not fuck gas. Nobody uses fk as abbreviation for fuck, there's F, FU, Fck or F*ck. If a person wanted fuck gas it would probably be FUGAS, FGAS, EFFGAS.

Cause you're using a resistor load as heat. What that means is it's one of the shittiest efficiency rates of heating. Need multiple times the electricity to warm the same sq footage as other means of heating. I understand it sucks cause upfront costs of other systems or simply renting the place.

Reply to comment by Emotional-Simple-478 in Electrical costs are obscene. by uwuwotsdps42069
Most people I see complaining have something that uses a lot of electricity. Some probably recently changed over to heat pump and not thinking they moved from gas to electric then. They also never say the KW used. I posted my graph from the last year showing usage and cost, why don't others? Here's mine again - https://i.imgur.com/YTLE4SW.jpg

Different designs is how things have been moving forward and how they've been targeting the performance/price ratio. If the device does not require much processing power there are other processors still made on older nodes for a lower price point. The majority of pricing is in the machines, wafers and yields.

For single junction it's 68% and for infinite 86%. But that's under perfect conditions, so it's a little less than that.

I have rpi and esp32 sitting around, I just didn't deep dive yet to see what route I wanna go. I was just getting most of body printed for now as I still have to finish another project I've been working on.

I haven't chosen the specific circuitry yet and have been just printing the body but none of the board mounts. The body is the one with reinforced shoulders, seems to be a newer build and fixes some issues.

Can get the servos for $20 for a 4 pack and under $30 for 6, when I was checking earlier. Hoping better software or something comes along and makes them better in the mean time. If not, still something to tinker with for the time being.
