A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes...
Mass shouting are 3+, but rifle shootings that makes news stories tend to be much higher 5-8+. And often times the rifle shooters are also using a handgun, so it skews the numbers a bit there too.
But really all guns and especially handguns need better control, permitting, and revocation laws.
Had a nice little foundation leak during the last rain storm. Installed a drain line last fall to divert two downspouts and front walkway run off away from the house which helped a lot. Front walkway and a big retaining wall next to it ultimately need to be removed and reinstalled with proper grading and drainage. That’s going...
Massachusetts has had decent right to repair for a decade too. And had universal healthcare way back too. They just got legal weed recently, but like the others, cost of living is rough there. Boston, Somerville and Cambridge housing, but you’re stuck in Boston.
I rode clipless pedals for mountain bike racing (cross country). It is so much more efficient and they have shoes with thicker soles and deep treads which makes them more comfortable to walk in.
They also make jumping over small obstacles and rocks easier and safer.
It’s a 1991 VW Multivan so it came with a poptop, and a cabinet in the back (so it has a weird L shaped downstairs bed), but no kitchen, just seating for 8 with two backwards facing jump seats....
I bought mine after we found out we’d be having a kid in 2017. So much more affordable. It also needed rust repair and all new bushings and rear swing arms and shocks and springs and some other parts (always do new fuel lines).
The prices have eased a lot since 2020-22, $16-20k is decent now for a good body manual transmission. Campers add $4-5k, Syncros (AWD) adds $10-15k. Good Subaru or TDI conversions increase value and usability too. And the oldies all want Automatics, so they cost more too.
I have a problem though, I’ve now bought 2 others for $500 without drivetrains. One is a nice body tintop, the other is a rotten camper top. Gonna attempt a roof swap and poptop conversion. The plan is to Prius swap it, so I can have electric A/C and eventually a bigger plug-in hybrid battery to quietly coast in and out of campgrounds and do more backcountry/remote camping.
During the eclipse in April we were considering Austin, but conflicted about spending money in TX.
We had planned out how to spend as little money and time there as needed to view it, but thankfully the weather closer to where we live was unseasonably clear and we had a great view in a much friendlier state, Maine!
Anyway, fuck Texas and the other backwards states who don’t respect women and all peoples’ rights to privacy and healthcare.
There was a kid like that in my highschool. Crashed (drunk) his dads Viper (this was the late 90s, when they were still new). Beat up lots of people culminating with kicking in the teeth of a friend of mine who was parked on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. The guy randomly stopped to attack him. They didn’t know each other either.
He hasn’t released on streaming yet or YouTube only insta and Twitter. Once it’s up on streaming he said all proceeds will go to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)....

Stack overflow has been one of the consistently reliable googleable sites for decades.
It’s a shame Quora has strayed so far from their initial cloning of SO’s site. It seems to be turning into AskYahoo 2 fast from the results I’ve seen lately.
