I doubt think it’s a DNA problem, the amount of roots depends on the amount of leaves.
So keeping the grass short keeps the roots sorry as well

You’re CEO and VP of IT are idiots.
Of course you can have open source in an enterprise environment and have someone to blame. You hire a company to install the open source software and maintain it.

- Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions 2 weeks ago:
Because “pro-life” is not describing their position. They are not even “pro-fetus-life”. They are not taking any action to avoid accidental miscarriage in women, no educative program in this sense or collective action like distributing prenatal vitamins.
No, the only way to describe their position is “anti-abortion”. They are not pro anything, they are anti.
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, since the 60’ in the US the measurements are based on the metric system.
In 1959 the inch was redefined to be exactly 25.4mm.
So the US and any other country using the imperial system is just using metric but which weird conversion just to make things harder.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.
Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)
The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …
For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.
Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.
With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 1 month ago:
The “grandmother theory” is supporting this idea.
The idea is that past a certain age there is an evolutionary benefit to not be able to have kids anymore. Past a certain age, to pass our genes it’s more beneficial to be able to help descendants with their kids rather than having kids on our own.
