Comment Re:This doesn't surprise me (Score 1) 72

go see an allergist. your symptoms sound similar to some my wife had at what seemed random times. struggled for two years, doctor after doctor to figure out what was causing it. Finally, her mom, a nurse, said to go to an allergist. Turns out she was allergic to lettuce, mushrooms, pineapple, and squash. Kept away from those foods and she's been fine.

Comment Wirth's Law (Score 2) 326

I guess he never heard of Wirth's Law. Compared to 20 years ago, our computers are operating at and infinite speed with ridiculous amounts of RAM. Yet the desktop, IDEs, and applications seem slower than they were 20 years ago, require Gigabytes(!!!) of RAM, and do not seem to do anything more than they did before. Go figure.

No, the spair-the-air (spartheair.org) legislation did. Now when it is sufficiently cold outside to warrant using the fireplace to heat your house, the BAAQMD (baaqmd.gov) issues a spare-the-air alert and makes it illegal to heat your house though a means other than PG&E (pge.com). You must your gas or electricity to heat your house rather than a fireplace.

Comment Re:Zillow (Score 1) 32

Zillow does more for estimations than Bank of America did for my last re-fi. BofA didn't send out any kind of appraiser, just pulled a number out of their ass. And that number conflicted with the recently sold comparables in my area. Estimates from Zillow or appraisers don't mean shit. Your house is worth whatever the bank wants it to be. Upgrades you've done and condition of the house won't be factored in and are completely irrelevant.
