What makes a Zodiac Sign low maintenance? Independence can make someone low maintenance. Someone who is reliable, dependable, and punctual, can make someone low maintenance. Someone who tends to want to do things on their own can be low maintenance. Low-maintenance people tend to be those people who do on their own but are not necessarily alone. They rarely need or ask for help. They are self-motivated, often energetic, and can be considered leaders is many cases. Now me, some say I am low maintenance and others say I’m high maintenance. Maybe I’m both. Let's see what zodiac signs are considered low-maintenance.

5 Zodiac Signs That Are Low Maintenance

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

If you want to get in on massive solar savings but don't want to install your own panels, community solar might be right for your household. Solar panels are practically magic, turning abundant sunshine into free energy. They save owners a ton of money over time — but they do come with up-front installation costs not everyone can afford.

This is the easiest way to massively lower your electric bill — with no rooftop panels needed

The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread across 30 square miles. Using the Frontier exascale supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, the ExaWind team performed some of...

Recent research indicates a significant acceleration in the melting of the Juneau Icefield glaciers in Alaska, with glacier loss rates doubling since 2010 and potentially leading to irreversible declines earlier than predicted. This accelerated melting and increased fragmentation could necessitate revising future projections of glacier retreat and sea level rise.

Is nature really as strange as quantum theory says — or are there simpler explanations? Neutron measurements prove: It doesn’t work without the strange properties of quantum theory. Quantum theory allows particles to exist in superposition states, defying classical realism. The Leggett-Garg inequality tests this by comparing quantum...
