FWIW on iphone running ios 26.2.1 i only see the "whats pie... toolbar" three times, looks like a section header. The whole thing appears as one page.

Property taxes, income  taxes, sales taxes, business taxes... somehow things need to be paid for. Unless we go back to ( for example) paying the fire department directly, and if you dont pay you dont get service. It is almost always better to collectivly pay for common things, purchasing power and all that.

I wonder if other states do offer more services for less money? or they just pay for the services with a different funding source?

i do cold pile. here in the high desert that means years in a bin with no lid so some water can get to it. 5-8 years later MIGHT be compost. or might still be looking jyst like when it was filled up.  

worm bin, in the shade, now THAT one rocks and by the end if the summer they go so fast I can see it sink every day. not sure if its just the worms  that make it so so fast but there is all kind of things in it. isopods. flying specks. centupedes. cant wait fir it to start up!

Paul. Shiny Big one.  I love and support what you are doing. But this is NOT a realistic response to my "apartment small RMH plan" plea. 7K lbs, and 25 x 15?  

WHO HAS AN APARTMENT WITH THAT KIND OF SPACE TO BUILD A RMH??? And if they live in an apartment how are they getting 7K worth of stuff into their apartment? And when their lease is up (or their landlord finds out about it)?  Lugging it out???

If some one could come up with a **realistic** RMH tested application for apartments it would be great. Kinda like balcony solar like they have in Germany...

But it is just not there yet.

Egg bites in the instant pot, 4 eggs, 45g creme fraice/ cream/cream cheese/etc,  45 g cottage cheese, S&P.  Blend together, immersion blender works great.  Oil molds (I use any light oil and a little square of paper towel.) Put your choice  of Mixins in molds, , Red pepper / feta is great. Then pour in egg blend. some water in bottom of IP, tray on trivet.   8 min low pressure 5 min natl release.  This makes 6/7 egg bits in the silicone mold I have have.

Straight from fridge to 6.5 min on toast setting in toaster oven.
