But.. do you pay subscription for Steam that they can just jack up any time they want and there isn't anything you can do about it other than straight up quit and lose all your stuff?
Well, except the article is about Paris and cars in the US are not small or underpowered.. at all. Kind of a ridiculous statement, actually. The average car in Europe is much smaller than those in the US with a much smaller engine. For example, the most popular car in France in 2022 was the Peugot 208 with a 1.2L engine with around 74hp and a length of 4m, while the most popular car in the US, the Camry has a engine options ranging between 2.4L-3.5L, around 208hp and a length of 4.8m (almost 3’ longer for you yanks).
I mean, they have to be. European fuel prices are double or more and most countries/cities have proper transit and were not built for US size cars (or any cars for that matter).
Most of the time it’s groups of 2 (unless we’re talking about municipal development, which is a different beast altogether, I’m thinking firms that do lots of out-of-town work), but often you can be in camps as support. Frequently, there will be a team working a big project on rotation, so lots of opportunity for shared experiences.
Admittedly, my experience in rugged coastal mountains isn’t going to be the same as those that are working in dense urban environments. I assume because OP is talking about camps that they live in a place that offers reasonably close proximity to wilderness.
Also, you have to have a fairly high interest in math and the outdoors to stick with the profession.
Land surveying would be my recommendation. Jobs can be all over and as someone living in BC, my days of fieldwork could be absolutely spectacular sometimes. You also tend to jump around in worksites and with the right firm, travelling is definitely possible.

Fair. Argentina’s politics are complicated. I was there in 2002 and remember groups of people sitting in circles discussing the political situation at the time.
No, my comment was questioning whether a political party would bus protestors in to protest their own party, not claiming that there weren’t any protests at all.
EDIT: I was assuming these protests were happening for months. That said, I can see that they could be protesting the election results, so the time between the election and the swearing in.

The onion is a satirical news site. As in they make up stuff to be funny. The term "ate the onion" is when people believe their articles are real news.
Conversely, notheonion is meant to be examples of things that are absurd enough to seem like satire, but are actually true.
