My city bans: converting single family home into two owner occupied units, as the city gets denser.

My city allows: international developer gutting a single family home into a 7 bed, 7 bath house to rent by the room at egregious rates by a corporate landlord, because it’s still technically single family because there’s only one kitchen.

These zoning laws are actively discouraging urban development that supports the residents.

It is possible to get transition care while on Medicaid in some states, at least. Because it’s healthcare! So that would qualify at “taxpayer funded.” I know some states explicitly ban it, and not sure what Medicare covers. There are also government employees who can get transition care through their insurance, so could be considered taxpayer funded?

In any case, I’d much rather have all trans people be able to get taxpayer funded transition related care.

Ha, realizing the oddity of my phrasing in hindsight. My guess was OP had some smidge of a memory hearing that insulating over wire was bad, so thought it would be worth a little context.

(In tithe US) It’s not safe or up to code to cover knob and tube wiring with insulation because that can cause it to overheat and start fires. But this is modern Romex wiring, not 100+ year old wiring. Many wires in your house are running through insulation - like everything in an exterior wall. They’re designed for this.

If you get the type of board where you add in your own microcontroller, you could replace a pro micro with a nice!nano. I don’t know how common that is on non-split keyboards, though.

Why don’t they? Because they know it’s not true. They know that they don’t have evidence that they can present in court, and even they aren’t dumb enough to perjur themselves. Their plan was never to win in a court of law: it was so win in a court of their own supporters’ public opinion.

My house is a fixer-upper, so usually house projects. Yard work, hanging shakes, painting. It’s nice to do something physical where I can see a benefit at the end of it, when I spend my day sitting at a desk inside. It’s also nice when the neighbors compliment our progress!

I’m also team onshape. I have a powerful desktop, but I still end up doing CAD from the couch on my 6-year-old Chromebook, so onshape is a champ for that. It’s also nice for collaborating, which I do when working on bigger projects with my fiancee.

I got started with it entirely from the tutorials provided by Onshape itself. The learning curve was a lot less steep than I expected.

Video evidence showing them hiding evidence seems like a pretty slam dunk way to get a warrant.

I’m on 1200mg/day of gabapentin for migraines. I had to stop upping the dose at that point because it was starting to make me tired all the time. My body has slowly gotten used to it and I’m less tired now. This stuff impacts everyone’s brains and bodies differently. If your doctor is legit laughing at you for this, that’s complete unprofessional shit.
