    Huh; so desalinated water costs between $0.001 to $0.008 depending on the cost of the power. I pay about $0.0136 / gallon so almost 10x the cost of producing. Seems like (for non-a…

    For what it's worth; `eslint-plugin-react` has been around for a long time and seems to support running in very old versions of Node.JS (back to v4[1] apparently! tho I can't find …

    Tofu scramble might be a little more expensive than egg-based version but 5x seems an exaggerated figure to me. A 14oz package of tofu is probably the equivalent of 4 eggs and cost…

    Airtable ( https://airtable.com/ ) and Coda ( https://coda.io/ ) are two products which might fit the bill.

    I think the IRS number might be spot on. Quick math: ($25,000 cost to buy car new - $4,000 residual value at end-of-life ) / 100,000 miles usable lifetime = $0.21/mi depreciation o…
