Virginia to legalize 'balcony solar' as more states advance legislation: 'Removes all kinds of barriers' Virginia is changing the game with new laws allowing plug-and-play solar panels, making clean energy accessible to more residents.

2022 SE. I really cannot type.

Apparently a 2002 SE is sort of modern inside?

Watching language EVOLVE in my lifetime. (Can’t type on a phone to save my life)

Here for the malleability of English comment. I used to get upset about usage. But after looking at and thinking about older English writing (80-200 years) now I just see it as watching language in my lifetime.
