I understand the dream of nature and simplicity, however living an austere lifestyle is very far from simple. E.g. If you live in a cold, remote climate this time of year: Do you have enough food for winter? water? Will your plumbing freeze

I think strengthening/mobilizing anything on a regular basis helps prevent issues - I definitely have fewer neck and lower back issues after getting active 5-6x / week. But the 10+ hour days still kill. Need to break those up with

Cars are one. Feeling like my kids aren't as 'street smart' is another - but that is on me. Anecdotally, I see a lot more obviously mentally ill people on the streets than when I was a kid. Crime in general is more prolific i

Yea - I can’t say that I have a rational understanding for why I feel like the world is more dangerous than when i was a kid.

Having grown up in the manner you describe, and being a parent of several young kids - I do find the prospect of them having a similar childhood pretty terrifying. I am forever thankful for a childhood like that - but letting my kids run am

I genuinely hope this is correct. However NMS is an open-world exploration game. I worry that with Cyberpunk 2077 being fairly linear / story based, they won't make the same investments that Hello Games did re: adding tons of new

Luigi from Spotify: https://github.com/spotify/luigi We’ve been using it for complex update workflows for about 5 yrs now, and it just works. It doesn’t do scheduling or have a fancy ui, but it’s a solid workhorse.

You actually do not have a right to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle, here in CA. People are also missing the point: cops are not well trained, they panic just like everyone does. Hence my position it’s best to avoid interactions with
