I think the problem is people in the US co-opted the term Libertarianism from its traditional use for those on the "left" end of the political spectrum. Please see what I mean here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

The IRS comes up with a roughly $.50/mile figure. It takes into consideration the physical wear on the vehicle as well as consumables and fuel costs, among other things I think (averaged nationally).

This is the case on Linux Mint. I can't even set Google as a search provider if I wanted to! Too bad Duck Duck Go is simply re-branded Bing results, and they kinda suck.

Well, at least it wont shit the bed (i.e. SD card corruption) on a power fluctuation? Is there something with similar hardware? Basically something with built-in, actual SSD flash. I love the size and low-power use of the RPi 3+, but I ha

Do all Amex cards have this? I've never seen this feature offered by them. Edit: apparently they stopped doing this for average cardholders 15 years ago and it's a corporate-card-only thing now called 'Amex Go'

I've been under the impression that plant-based proteins take up less land than does animal-derived protein[0][1][2]. I could go on with the citations. So yes, replacing everything with plant-based protein would be vastly better. Edit:

That doesn't seem to jive with the aerial photos used to make the WPA model. Some roads are clearly covered by the dunes, which means the roads were built through the dunes without clearing the dunes entirely?

I ride in the trees a lot and crash through dead branches regularly to find those lines that others miss. What kind of treatment are we talking here? All I can find is stuff like 3M seamtape, or sewing on more material in high-abrasion spot
