I bought a Honda Pilot because I occasionally seat 7, frequently haul lumber, pipe, etc. which that the guy say fold down seats are a boon, and need a tow package. Fits the bill. Could make a van work I suppose.

The trend I’ve seen, and one that actually seems to have decent results, is “near-shoring” to Romania, Ukraine, Brazil or similar. India has had an “if you’ve got no better options” for most of my career to be honest.

Sorry to hear that! I had some clowns reach out to me for the same job it sounds like, promising that I could absolutely move up to employment with Chic-fil-a after my contract was up… As if I haven’t heard that story before.

If were to live in a world where we, through tax-payer funded medical care, one can privatize (caloric) gains and socialize (medical care cost) losses… Unironically this should be a mechanism. While I recognize no system is perfect, we woul

Federal government taxes income, many states add on something as well, my state might tax 5% in a tiered fashion such that the first 20k is 0% and then 1% for 10k and so on. Beyond that, sales tax on consumption. Property taxes on homes, ve

I’m normally into the homebrew NES articles but this has no details and no links to details I can find so I’m inclined to vote blogspam. Is there a ROM, a write up, anything? Nevertheless it’s impressive to ship for NES / FAMICOM and t

They want to smugly prove their others that I’m right . Seems a commonality among any kind of end-of-times cultists, they’ll try to befriend you and woo you into being on their side. That their bunker was a sane investment, that you should

Why wouldn’t they? It’s a Ponzi scheme predicated on never ending growth.Population bubbles and dips screw the scheme, leading to our needing to pull in immigrants to buoy the status quo. At the same time, I can’t blame Boomers. They paid i

There’s nothing straw man about it, it’s reality of suburbanite life. I’ve worked in “walkable” office parks and have the time the guys at the office would get in a car and still drive elsewhere. It doesn’t solve for the overall problem. Th

Why would you consider January 6 protests to be the turning point specifically? It was neither particularly violent nor a first regarding violation of norms. There was no attempt at rallying armed forces in a coup d’etat. Could just as well
