I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re absolutely correct that the property value increase and the tax burden increase are not linear at all. The person who attempted to correct you is pretty notorious for being aggressively wrong.

I like that they say “outdated” stereotypes like they used to be true but now they aren’t.

Come on people, keep your steroetypes current.

“Southern Nevada” and “Los Angles” are very different.

So no Israel is bankrupt and has no power or military capabilities, who has the power to decide what kind of solution is enacted?

What happens after it bankrupts them?

You probably want to go to a minimum security federal prison. The easiest way to get there that I think of is check fraud.

You’ll need to write a bunch or bad checks in as many states as you can, or send them through the mail. You’ll need to do this a lot, and for a pretty significant amount of money otherwise they’ll just give you probation of some sort.

Having a disability might be a problem though; if it costs too much medically to keep you in prison they’ll just out you back on the street as a compassionate release.

Llamafile is a pretty good option for 100% local LLMs. The smaller models are pretty good for basic applications. They run at a reasonable speed on my Samsung laptop and really fast on my M2 macbook.

That is what should happen when a starting capacitor fails, but it doesn’t always happen as it’s supposed to.

Another possibility is the starting capacitor for the compressor motor is bad.

If the capacitor is bad then the compressor motor won’t actually start, but the fan will still turn on. This will make it seem like the AC unit is running, but there won’t actually be any cooling going on. The fans will still blow air, and it’ll feel slightly cooler because it’s moving air, but it won’t actually be cooler.

Replacing capacitors is pretty easy and not too expensive. However, it can be extremely dangerous so I recommend you leave it to the professionals unless you have some experience working with electricity.

The new Prius Prime has an optional rooftop solar panel.

According to an article in Slash Gear you can get about 4 miles of range after 9 hours in the sun.

So it has the potential to marginally increase your range on the scale of a short commute under ideal circumstances, but it’s not much apparently.
