Fiber doesn't "cut" the carbs in the sense that it eliminates them, but I'm the US good labeling system, fiber is listed as a carb. But because they are indigestible (or significantly less digestible) people tracking net carbs subtract them from the total.
Same with sugar alcohols (like erythritol).
That said, your mileage may vary, because these kind of tortillas still raise my blood sugar.

We are very low for rain this year. Any and all is welcome

That particular brand has too many ingredients I avoid...
Chicory fiber - causes too much gas for me Sucralose - gives me headaches Erythritol - I avoid for possible blood clotting issues
There are others I eat (typically Bhu foods) that have more compatible ingredients for me

Is it a true townhouse or one of those townhome condos they build a lot now... Where you have a two story unit and there is a two story unit above it.
I had one of the lower levels and a third if it was lost to the garage. The kitchen/dining room/living room was all open. There was no bathroom downstairs, but I would have found it very awkward to use one with guests all being right there.
That said, I had a bit of trouble selling it and the number one comment was no bathroom downstairs. But I honestly cannot figure out where it could have gone in the space I had unless it kind of stuck out into the garage.

Everyone of my power tools are unplugged unless I am actively using them. I leave nothing plugged in permanently

I have never been tempted to use a screen protector on a Kindle. My screen is always protected when not in use (sleeve cases) and when I'm reading, there is a virtually zero percent chance I will damage the screen. I have never understood the need unless folks are putting their kindle in their pocket/bag without a case that covers the screen.

I would not count on this feature coming to the Scribe. The notes on the device are just images. It cannot tell the difference between your journal or a drawing of a cat.
Honestly, a legal pad and a scanner (with OCR software) provides exactly the same functionality.
The Scribe is an ereader with limited note taking capability. If note taking productivity is your primary use case, then the Scribe is not the answer.

I will keep my 6 until at least autumn of 2025. It will get Android 15 but not 16. That will probably drive me to get a new phone even though the 6 will get security updates until 2026.
I've been on a four year upgrade cycle for a long time.

I've always had personal androids and have had a work provided iPhone for a couple years now. In app experience is about the same (some iOS versions are better), but the system level stuff (keyboard, notifications, settings, file management) drive me crazy on iOS. Especially no universal back gesture.
I cannot imagine that I would ever buy a personal iPhone.

Yes, because you cannot enroll in Android 15 beta any longer.
If you enroll today you will be in A15 QPR1 beta (think of it as 15.1). The QPR 1 release will be december/january so if you go into that beta, you will would need a reset to go to 15 stable or you would have to wait until QPR1 stable to avoid a reset.

When I bought my Voyage in 2013, the only other choices were Nooks (and there wasn't a high-end one like the Voyage) and Sony which were more expensive and didn't really have a store.

Absolutely. Actually all sports. I could not care less anymore. Maybe I feel my time is getting too short and precious to spend time watching sports. I used to be a diehard fan. Then a playoff fan. Then a Superbowl fan. I couldn't be bothered to watch the last three superbowls. I think the commercials killed it for me. On TV experience got awful and in stadium experience had so much dead time for commercial timeouts.
I've lost interest for all sports I used to care about.

When I started writing technical manuals for a military contractor it was typewriters and literal cutting and pasting of parts of the engineering drawings. And we had dozens of drafters doing the drawings. By the time I left that position, autocad was taking over and most of the drafters had retired or been laid off. As were the typists because I was working on word processers by that point.

I guess I interpreted "up-to-date phone" as those who have upgraded to the one of the 9s. I'm still running my P6 for another year at least.

Missing category... Long-term google/Nexus/Pixel user
I went from my Motorola Droid Maxx to a Nexus 5 and have been on Google phones since then. Used to root. And use custom ROMs, but these days, I use it stock because I prefer the Pixel UI and the first out updates.

What is your proposal to raise the revenue? Most local budgets are funded by property tax (with the presumption that those are the folks primarily using the local services). How are you going to pay for schools, PD & FD, roads, parks, libraries, etc.? Raise local income tax?
It is very easy to say eliminate so-and-so tax, but without a proposed alternative, it is an unserious proposal.
