What did you accomplish today?

in California all new homes built today must have solar panels....by law

And they'll make fat profits from that, putting the price of the home out of reach of many people.
Climate change alarm is about governments and big corporations profiting from repressing the freedoms of the people.

PS. My home isn't new (8 years old now).

california is building 1/2mil new homes a year...and they will all have solar. Soon a home without solar will be like a home without electricity, nobody will want it....

i hate it that nobody accepts personal responsibility for anything in their life.
Don't tell me what California is doing, tell me what YOU are doing!

It cost me under $1000 to install 5x solar panels producing just over half my energy.
About 3 days work, building the brackets and screwing to the back wall (payback in under 4 years).

DTE's new cell meters tell that my system is getting power and I get a rate hike per their terms and conditions. And we are paying the cell transmission fees to boot.

You gotta outlive the mortgage. Spruce it up and sell. Buy a cabin in the woods and live it up. Or feed the vultures. Damn morbid world.

I had my home paid off for 5 years before I retired.....but for what? It was just $100,000's of equity just collecting dust. So I took out a mortgage and bought a pot farm in the hills. So now for a $1,200 a month mortgage I have a home and a pot farm...it seems to be working for me.

Agree, paid off my mortgage when I was 45, my (former) wife just divorced me and got a free home.
Now my new (much younger wife) has a mortgage (another 20 years) and I live in her house (my pension makes the repayments), when I die she'll be shit out of luck.

And before anyone claims I'm just bitter about the divorce, let me just tell you you're wrong, it was worth any amount of money to replace the 50 year old 200lb woman in my bed with a 30 year old 100lb woman.

I bet you could do a sugar free version, just use sugar free chocolate. Might take a little tinkering, but I bet it comes out great. Just use a sweetener instead of sugar. If for some reason it doesn’t bake right the first time, try adding an extra egg

oh and the chocolate ganache is just equal parts by weight heavy whipping cream and semisweet chocolate. Bring the cream to a simmer, pour it over the chopped chocolate, and just let it sit 5 minutes. Stir until smooth, the heat from the cream should be enough to melt the chocolate.

I picked up all ingredients & a 9" spring form pan. I'm getting amped to make this for Momma (and me of course).
 
Woke up, let the chickens out, made a cup of coffee. Now I'm going to head in to work for a couple of hrs. Just to finish some shit up for tomorrow. When I get back I'm going to break out my sharpening stones and freshen up a couple of my kitchen knives.

I really need to get this roof on my possible grow room/man cave replaced asap. So I might stop by a home improvement store to get started buying the material needed.
