Deborah Chester (who writes fiction and teaches it) has several books on writing genre fiction. The kindle editions cost about four or five dollars a piece and walk beginning authors through the process.

I would really like to know how you have mold growing inside ductwork.

Which section of the mechanical ventilation system? The only places I could even conceive of legionella growing is in cooling towers that are not properly maintained, and immediately downtream of cooling coils where the condensation pans are plugged and there is standing water.

I want to see changes to the property tax laws: If you don't have a permanent resident in the apartment, your property taxes get increased.

This would be put in place to combat AirBnB. You want to run a hotel, you pay extortionate property taxes.

Blow warm air on it.

When you take calculus and differential equations (or Calc IV) Imaginary numbers (and eulers number as well) turn up there are are used in what are called "transforms".

The idea of a transform is: I have this disgustingly difficult calculus problem that is beyond my ability to do by hand. But...... I can transform it into an algebra problem, solve the algebra problem, then transform it back and get an answer that is useful. Yes, these transforms can get very messy on their own because you have to transform the entire algebra equation and take it with you.

The easiest analogy I can think of (and this is imperfect): You have a problem were you need to travel across the US continent, by foot. Walking 3000 miles kinda sucks though. So instead you arrange a plane ticket, fly in the plane, then get off and end up and the same place as if you had walked. There are some different tricky issues with the plane flight (like getting through airport security), but overall it is faster.

In this case, the plane is the transform. And if you have never seen a plane or used one, you look at it and say "what is that big aluminum can, I don't see any use for it"

You miss the point: mass is pushing to limit or eliminate gas permits for new construction, so that will need more electricity. Plus electric cars. Now electric trains. That is a lot of electricity to be found.

Edit

Downvoting me will not change the fact that increasing the load on the electrical grid is likely to cause problems, and the electric trains are just another stone on that well intentioned path to hell.

Until the electrical provider issues are resolved, this is going to become a gigantic mess in about 10 years.

Where is the electricity going to come from? And the transmission lines?

Did you read the regulation or did you just hand wave it away with your. “Way around regulations” statement?

The amount of sea level rise (last hundred years according to NASA) has been 6-8 inches. That is not negligible. It is slow though; if you are not taking very careful measurements it is easy to overlook.

And there are not many (if any) credible reports talking about four feet of sea level rise.

Because I would bet FEMA is the insurer of last resort and they have to take a much wider band of applicants - and they have to balance their books according to federal regulations. So FEMA ends up with a lot of people who can;t get flood insurance anywhere else because the regular insurers have pulled out of the market.

I expect if you read through their financials you would see exactly how much they took in in premiums and how much they paid out. All,of that is publicly record and available for review if you want to review it.

Florida has this problem right now where the state insurer of last resort is caught having to many applicants and having to cover much more than it had ever anticipated. And this is because the normal insurance companies are either pulling off the coast of Florida or out of the state entirely.

Along with that did you read all of the regulations and public financials that are provided in that link? Or read any of the documentation about sea level rise?

Ok, you’re in the “government bad” camp that just assumes government is someone else’s puppet.

FEMA doesn’t make money like that. They are a government agency and their funding is set by congress. And no, they don’t get kickback from insurance companies either. If that was tried people would go to prison.

And it is just amazing how the areas that FEMA warns “this is a flood risk” are the areas that end up getting flooded. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

How does FEMA get money from updating maps they are obligated to update every ten years?

The warning was there over five years ago when FEMA updated their flood maps.

It looks like she had to get all the DLC for photoshop before attempting to look that good.

I hate doing HVAC design in airports. The local (international) always runs significantly negative because the food stalls never make up their exhaust.

All I could think of with this is the Arkham Asylum games where batman is 15' above the bad buys and no one looks up.

My god, did the driver and passenger just keep looking at the ground and never look up to see they were wedging themselves?
