One more person complaining about the shitty meal.

It took a couple years to get my wife to be more assertive about this stuff. I'd just keep picking places I knew she hated until she'd make a decision.

Just the other day she turned it around on me. Asked me which of two options I wanted, I said whichever she feels like and she came back with, "No, I want to know what you want." So I laughed and gave her my preference.

The USA.gov website implies you are wrong, else why would they say this?

Whether you were born an American citizen or became one through naturalization, if you have dual citizenship

There are different business models. Some offer turnkey solutions, some focus on core values. Simply for the sake of accountability and additional tasks school buses are used for, it makes sense to keep them under the umbrella of the schools.

None of this advocates running public services like a business.

You ignored the look on the doctor's face when he said that, didn't you? Exactly what inside do you think he was talking about? He got the idea from doing it inside hospitals, so it wasn't that.

Then get out of technology and start reading posts in buy it for life.

In my lifetime, about the only rechargeable battery the average person had in their home was the one in their car. Now we've added 4 new major battery chemistries to the commercial space, some with multiple variants within them and all with improvements throughout their lifetimes. This is what science and technology looks like. The results you're looking for would be magic or wishful thinking.

I had the memorable experience of watching the first movie in the theatre's. When the apple scene happened a bunch of teenage girls started ooohing and aaahing and I laughed so hard. Then one of my friends smacked my shoulder. I have no regrets.

"Follow." Like that wire around Manhattan so the whole place counts as home.

There are fixed costs and proportional costs. Property taxes aren't put on hold just because you aren't running. A certain amount of maintenance will be needed whether or not you produce a watt of power. Some maintenance costs will increase the more power you produce, including fuel costs. All of these factors need to be taken into cosideration when determining how much any given watt costs to produce.

Well, I suppose they could just take out the stretch of power line between me and my neighbors who use their service and cut down those maintenance costs altogether!

This isn't like a driveway, it's more like a road. It's used by more people than the people whose property it's in front of. And where I live, the property owner is considered to be the owner of the lines that extend from the grid to the home, so guess who already pays the maintenance costs on that?
