I agree for most things, they were just built to last a lot longer because product quality was a priority. These days, a company doesn’t want you to buy once, they want to sell you a product that lasts just long enough you’ll buy the same brand after it breaks. I’m a tradesmen and I can attest, the older a tool is, usually the higher quality it is. Same goes for lots of equipment. I once saw a sears model pressure tank from 1972 still in working condition when newer tanks last 5-10 years and the average before that was 15-20. That specific case might be survivorship bias, but every retiree i talk to will claim sears had some high quality stuff when they were yoinger.

Modern mics that clip to a shirt means they can pretty much whisper their review. Doing it inside lets them show how the dining experience is such as the atmosphere of the restaurant, what kind of decorations they have on the walls, how the food looks properly plated instead of crammed into a take out box.

Someone politely and quietly doing a food review doesn’t impact your dining experience much compared to anyone else dining at that table.

More likely they will beg the government to heavily subsidize gasoline or they will beg the government for a heavily subsidized EV.

We still need to ask why so we can get at the root of the problem. Shrugging and subsidizing is just telling galen weston “keep increasing your prices, and we’ll start throwing tax dollars at you.”

Electric vehicles still put trie dust into the air.

We could be like Japan where in order to own a car, you have to prove you have somewhere private to park it instead of just putting it on the street.

But it does allow people to build without meeting a minimum parking standard. Progress and change is a slow process. If removing parking minimums makes 3 developments make small apartments buildings with no parking, a few years down the line there may be more support for an entire neighborhood without parking after seeing the success of the first few developments.

You don’t have to buy one, but in North America your mobility will be severely limited unless your are able to live in a select few places, many of which are expensive because despite popilar american beliefs, it is quite desireable to be able to live car free.

Normal looking house with a parking spot under it is an eyesore yet strip malls and walmart parking swathes are okay…

Is someone sitting accross from a camera and quietly talking to it really much different from someone sitting accross from a person and talking to them?

Actually car centric design is one of the biggest factors that contributes to the housing affordability crisis happening in North America. So it is at least partially car dependancy’s fault they cannot afford their own place.

I’ve done really well with the pax 3. I actually think it does better hits that a dab rig. It does need regular cleaning and the higher temp

The smoker lungs may have had more tar build up and scarring, you cant necessarily visually see the lead and other heavy metals from vaping on the vapers lungs, especially if those are entering the bloodstream and being distributed throughout the body.

If you’ve got a good source of dabs, abandon the carts and get a concentrate vape like the pax 3 with concentrate adapter. The carts often have cheap heating elements with lots of nasty stuff contaminating them.

Doug is speed running becoming a mini trump

Here in North America many people claim cops are violating our rights by doing radar, pulling people over etc. Many of those same people claim the cameras are also violating their rights and celebrate when the cameras are vandalized by paint, removal, smashing, or thrown in a lake.

Seems to me people just don’t want to be reminded that speeding is in fact dangerous and illegal and drivers should be held responsible and accountable for it.

I’m in the process of purchasing a house. The current resident used a loanshark to buy the house for her as she could not qualify for traditional financing. After a few years she still could not get traditional financing and the loanshark wants to sell the property. The current tenant is a little upset at me as she views me as stealing the house from under her.

Part of why she can’t afford the house and I can is that she drives a Cadillac escalade and I drive a tiny 5 speed hatchback car.

Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.

We can counter trump without acting like him.

Spoiler alert, the law mirrors trumps policy more than it counters his policy. Disregarding environmental protections and disrespecting first nations rights sounds like a textbook trump move.
