I certainly miss those incandescent bulbs heating up my home on these 30+ degree days in July. /s
 

I'm sensing a slight hesitancy towards this agreement.

I think that it might be better to spend the money to up the insulation. I go by construction sites and the minimum amount of insulation required is terrible. If it was increased massive amounts of energy and money could be saved while increasing comfort.

I didn't check your math but you didn't factor in the time it would take to pass in the legislation to make this law (probably at least a year). Then I doubt there's that much excess supply in the solar panel industry especially with China installing all that it can so you would have to wait at least another year for the plants to be built because they probably aren't going to invest in them until they know for sure that the law has been passed. That's if they build the extra plants because they might not make their money back if the surge in panels isn't kept up past 2020.

Solar panels can go on more buildings than just houses. Any building with a large flat roof could host a considerable number of solar panels for instance. Around here all of the schools have solar panels on them. A company pays them for leasing the roof space.

Really, I thought it was just taking a look at the idiots driving around on the ground.

There are these things called libraries. They might have a copy.

I was thinking that it would use less gas because it would be programmed to go at the speed limit. I've noticed that most of the time people drive 5 to 10 km/h above the limit, especially on the major roads and highways.

I don't think it's the media that is creating the false fears. They may be hyping the small number of idiots using drones. The problem is that as drones become cheaper more and more idiots are going to going to buy one. I bet it won't be long until we hear about someone flying one against traffic on a highway to get a "great shot".

I think it would be good to also have it possible to operate a drone without the restrictions if you were under the supervision of someone who was certified. So someone could take their friends or family out and they could fly the drone while that person was there to give direction. Or a certified person could rent out a drone and be present.

Don't you know that efficiency has always taken a backseat to design and coolness.

Didn't see what base year they are going to use.

Do you use the Podcast app? It's terrible for using cell data. If you go under Settings -> Cellular you can see which apps are using up your data.

From reading the article the problem was that they guy knew the phone pocket-dialed and didn't take steps to stop it. They also said that their reasoning for including the husband in the decision didn't include the wife because there was no way for her to know about the phone in his pocket and it's behaviour.

So if you have someone who has a phone that pocket-dials easily and doesn't take steps to stop it then, at least in this court's jurisdiction, your conversations could be recorded legally without your knowledge.

He should have found someone, ideally a close family member who would have shared the prize, who had been playing the same numbers every week for years and had those number drawn. No need to go out and buy a ticket specifically for that draw himself and the pattern of the other person would have looked good too.
