I've been enjoying trading commodity futures rather than equities for a while now. I find there's better trends and less chaotic price movements. The lower volume I've yet to experience as a problem and there's low/no algorithmic manipulation going on.

Yeah looks like Mica and sandstone. Unfortunately landscapers/contractors love to just cover things up with top soil and run away.

The rocks could be tightly packed silt, loose sandstone, or maybe mica from excavation. Pictures would help.

Considering how problematic water heaters can be, I'd refuse shipment on that. Especially with the glass lining. It looks like someone hit it with a forklift or something.

Actually just had a short conversation with @[email protected] about the latency. We're going to try and address that for those of us outside of Europe.

Hah, did the same. I removed all of the old insulation too, which was worse! Sealed cracks and holes, then blew in new loose fiberglass up to R-60.

The key with windows is reducing your cost. I too received a quote for $30-40k back in the day... so I did it myself with vinyl replacements (double pane, argon, etc). Ended up spending only a few thousand total for the whole house, I know I did a better job than the local contractor because I spent my time and did it right.

We had a massive comfort difference due to the old windows being extremely drafty (1960's original wood single-pane). In my opinion that's the biggest benefit. We also were able to remove our storm windows, so improved exterior visibility, reduced cleaning, and improved curb appeal in my opinion.

Energy-savings, yeah not so much unless you DIY like I did to keep the cost down.

Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

Burn it to the ground! I wish all top subreddits had the balls to go dark indefinitely to the point they have to backpedal or forcibly take over the subreddits. Burn it to the fucking ground!
