Yep one of the big drivers is flexibility in capex vs opex. They’ll shape the contract whichever way you want but on prem is straight to capex. I think. I’m not an accountant.

My dishwasher never gets hot water. The line is stone cold before it starts and the hot water doesn’t reach the dishwasher before it stops filling. I should really just plumb it in to the cold side and save the energy on the water heating. Intake water temperature shouldn’t matter for dishwasher performance in 2025.

Reminds me. I need to build one in my garden.

But I had some sunglasses that have had the coating peel off just outside of warranty and I think it’s because they’re dark and got hot in the sun. I feel like that should be a consideration when designing the coating.

I was a bit of not interested and not educated enough to know what a NDRI was while I was on it but it does make sense for ADHD and Depression symptoms.

The withdrawal from Wellbutrin was bad. I got brain zaps if I was 1hr late taking it; tapering and cessation was miserable.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

Community gardens and Internet cooperative are the operating phrases you’re searching for

It’s not always the case that builders provide parking. The market demands shareholder profits, and if you don’t build a driveway, that’s more units you can fit on a given plot of land.

This is the trend I’m observing, but I’m certain it is not universal.
