Big landlords just 28% of California’s rental market
Fuzzy math: Are giant landlords given too much credit – or blame – for what goes on in the rental market? AdvertisementToplineThe largest California rental complexes, those with 20 or more units, were home to 1.65 million households in 2022. But big complexes in California hold nowhere near the slice of renters compared with states where giant landlords dominate. Single-family: California’s renter households in one-unit properties are also a larger group than those living in the big complexes. Bottom lineOwners of larger apartment complexes, typically big institutional investors, control a small and perhaps influential slice of the rental market.

Dear Thelma: How do I deal with my strong-willed c
Also, if bullied, a stubborn child is much more likely to be able to maintain their self-esteem, because their mindset is less easily influenced. As babies develop into toddlers, young kids, preteens, teens, and young adults, their social skills change over time. When kids know they are loved, they are resilient. Link:Dear Thelma: How do I deal with my strong-willed child?Dear Thelma,My child is incredibly strong-willed, and while I admire her determination, it often leads to challenges in our daily life.

37C3: You Think It’s Bad With Pluto? A History Of The Planets
In this outstanding and educational talk, [Michael Büker] walks us through the history of our understanding of the planets. The question “What is a planet?” is probably more about the astronomers doing the looking than the celestial bodies that they’re looking for. They got kicked out soon, but then when we started being able to see asteroids, Ceres, Vesta, and Juno made the list. But by counting all the asteroids, the number got up above 1,200, and it got all too crazy. Which we call “planets” and which we don’t is really about our perception of them and trying to fit this multiplicity into simple classification schemas.

Parallel parking needs to be back in G-class driving test, say experts
A new Ontario auditor general report found higher rates of collision among novice drivers following changes to the G-class driving test. (Shutterstock / wellphoto - image credit)Skills like parallel parking, driving in residential areas and three-point turns were axed from Ontario's G-class driving test in 2022 to curb driving test backlogs caused by the pandemic. Story continuesPublic looking to ministry to 'do the right thing'Al-Wattar still teaches students parallel parking and three-point turns, even if some push back. Angelo DiCicco, the general manager of traffic safety organization Ontario Safety League, also wants the manoeuvres reintroduced to the test.

The environmental costs of EV batteries that politicians don't tend to talk about
Along with the massive recent manufacturing investments in electric vehicle (EV) technology and talks of a greener, decarbonized future, there are some not-so-green problems. Governments have already invested tens of billions into two EV battery manufacturing plants in southwestern Ontario. However, they come with the environmental dilemma of what to do with the millions of EV batteries when they reach the end of their life. The NextStar EV battery plant in Windsor, Ont., is shown under construction this summer. Critical minerals come with costsThe environmental costs of a greener future in transportation don't stop at dead batteries.
