Its a dead simple way to reduce carbon emissions and its a slow gradual introduction of solar to people who might otherwise be intimidated by the processing of doing your own DIY solar install. Hope Ohio can get its head out of its own ass and pass some laws making it legal here too.

Comment on Why so many people are going "no contact" with their parents in ~life

My brother has ADHD, OCD anxiety and a lot of other shit. If it's any help, my mom and dad tried and pushed really hard for us to be friends, which wouldn't be a bad thing...if we weren't like 11 months apart in age. I think always being stacked on top of one another didn't help. Best of luck. I'll all work out.

Her mom was/is an addict and fucked her life up pretty bad when my wife was younger and her dad is a deadbeat. She's basically been a no or low contact since she left for college years ago and it actually been positive for her own well being. The wedding vaccinations story was almost identical to our experience as well. Shit, we didn't even require the vaccinations since they had been available for so long at that point, all we asked for was a COVID test to prove you were contagious. Half of my wife's family just fucking no showed. She hasn't spoken to any of them in any significant capacity since.
My brother has some issues. Mental health among others and he has basically made my life miserable for the entirety of our time growing up together. He left for college and I haven't really spoken with him much since. I never actually realized how miserable I was until he was out of the picture. I'm a bit shamed to say but it's been fucking nice. Mom and Dad are pretty upset that I don't talk with much, but whenever I do, its like talking to a bear. I never know what is going to set him off. It's awful. I firmly keep him at arms length now. I'd always hoped going to college and is not living in the same house or playing on the same teams would have made things better but it hasn't. Mom and dad baby him and give me a hard time because I'm "functioning better" than despite the fact that I still need my mom and dad for things too. It makes for some uncomfortable dynamics that sometimes make me feel like a burden.
To anyone else reading this, I hope you know that you aren't the only one dealing with similar problems.

Dawg what.

I had just assumed they were all made here.
Turns out I was wrong, wife and I went to Scotland (started on Glasgow actually) and we learned so much about the ship making industry and I was shocked to learn some of Cincinnatis most iconic paddle boats were Scottish!

Found out we have a managed Voicera system with a VPN from us to them. Killed that shite immediately.
Had to call up our biomed engineers and had them inventory all of our Stryker products and determine if there was any connectivity. Then I had to go back and review all of their M&As because it's not clear what is Stryker and what isn't.
Been kind of a shite week. I had a big oopsie and blocked a critical windows process across the environment while working an alert and now this.

The rest of the world kind of sucks and my coping method is basically just shut out the noise if I can. Focus on things I enjoy and what I can change.
New Harry Styles album is pretty good, not even a fan but the algorithm pulled me there.
Friends are having an engagement party this week and I'm out next week for a bachelor party. Things certainly could be worse but I'm taking my W's where I can get them and hoping/helping anyone else I can.
I hope anyone reading this is having a good day and if not, I hope it gets better.

I don't have any evidence to support it, but I'm going to place some blame on the increasingly bad a socio-econimic conditions and honestly Big Tech. I know both of those are just easy scapegoats but I don't really think most people (unless you are a young(er) man, like myself) understand the impact and influence the "Manosphere" has on guys minds. Especially on YouTube and other sites. It is so incredibly easy to fall down that rabbithole and holy shit is it not impossible to pull yourself out without some big changes or someone who loves you helping.
Life is fucking hard, as we all know, and it seems like guys are looking for someone to blame. The Manosphere makes it easy to blame your problems on women and with that comes the return to the "traditional" mindset of the man is right and the woman should be subservient. I absolutely don't agree with that, but as someone who had friends go down that road - that seems to be the likely culprit.

To any Gen Z guys lurking who might resonate with some of these responses: it's okay to tell your friends you love them. I promise. Please do it and do it often, you never know when that door might close and you'll never be able to see them again.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this article. Honestly made me wonder what other cultural and societal factors might influence j-companies vs h-companies. Japan is famously very collective and that seems well-suited for their style of companies. Makes me wonder if there could be any j-style companies here in the US.
