Welcome to Earth? U.S.A was also once owned by another country and it managed to figure something out. I lived in PR for a few months in 2014, every week I would learn more and more about how much of a disaster that island is. I wish them l

I've managed to finish a few 1 hour runs on pavement only during races, but an hour long trail run in in the woods? I'll plan a weekend around it. In Japanese there is the concept, Forest bathing, shinrin-yoku (森林浴).

Find the construction trailer ask for an application. Make sure you can pass a drug test and actually show up for work then I'd say your chances are 50% , 80 % if you find a job site that is just starting construction. If you want to k

Wind Farms are built by people living in RVs already, so you've got that figured out. Three months here 6 months there. Embedded software is extremely hard to do mobile, and anyways all of the electronics tech is designed in Germany. G

Indeed, it could be argued that speech - with some exceptions - is generally discouraged. This is inline with the absolution of the self... If Buddhism believes that the self doesn't exist it's hard to use language that directly e
