It isn't that easy - cars have a lot of compromises so often you can't get what you want. Though the worst problems shouldn's be.

better laws.

if houses/apartments are expensive the poor lose first so ensure it is legal to build tiny houses, shared bathroom/kitchen apartments... ensure there isn't so much paperwork that only expensive places can apply. Be careful about tenat rights - they are needed but don't lost sight of landlord rights in the process.

some are homeless because society has left no optians - things are getting better but there are still some out there that can't be anything else because if they get a job their ex takes all they earn anyway.

Unfortunantly the problem is hard. we know from painful experience that the abuse in institutions is often so bad risking freezing to death is the more human option. Be careful that what you propose / support isn't also worse.

Not all are. Some are gross. Some gluten free ones for example (not all, but some)

I have a Chevy Blazer which is nice except it lacks android auto. If I drove professionally their OnStar is enough better than Android Auto (and I assume Car Play) as to be worth the price, but I don't drive much and so it isn't worth the cost.

My wife has a Pacifica PHEV which is a decent compromise - we probably save $200/month by driving electric, but can make long trips through desolate areas without worrying about finding a charge (some of them are desolate enough that we have to worry about finding gas - though if you plan either will work: gas just needs planning the next 20 miles while electric is plan the next null.

Driving isn't that hard to train, I don't even need to have driven one to tell you that. not getting stuck because you can't see is a little harder. Using them effectively in war is even harder. But just driving in an open field - I doubt it needs more than a few hours.

@rimu@piefed.social which is why get my well water tested. And drink ro water where tap water fails the test

I thought this would be a scam the Russians. Take the money and run. Or register a few (to take more money) and then disable them all in a month. Or - there are lots of other scams on this lines Ukraine intelligence has said they are running.

It is in 30 years when the loan is paid off. Small farms commonly have been in the famaily for 100 years so the farmer is worth a million making $50k or some such.

At $10´000 per acre a small 100 acer farm is already that much and we haven't even bought a tractor of a house.

I've long wanted to do that. But I can't find a job in places where I can let my land grow wild.

It has been around long as I can remember, and I'm in my 50s...

The shoes part is because if someone breaks some glass and are in process of cleaning it up when you walk in they are worried they could get sued for you stepping on it. It isn't clear how realistic this worry is. Anyone can sue for anything though, and even if the law/facts are such that they would clearly win they can still spend millions on lawyers to win that case. No shoes is a bypass - if you drop your case we won't press criminal trespassing charges against you.

I don't know what the shirt thing is about. The US culture allows topless men in public, but not topless women in general, but some people are still offended by topless men so I guess. I do recall back when I worked in retail a few people did come in without a shirt and we asked them to put it on (when it was obviously tied around their waist) or told them to take their order to go - it wasn't a big deal.

It is the ecconomy, stupid. I realize junior engineers have never before had a recession affect them so this seems new and eifferent to them. However as a senior I've seen several and every single time there are articles about how this time is difierent and the jobs are never coming back. I also know it sucks to be someone who is affected, but in a few years this will be a memory.

not that ai changes nothing, but thingsialways change. The world recovers and moves on.
