Part of the problem with the EV market in the US right now is that the majority of models available are luxury cars in price. You can get a used Nissan leaf for ~16k, but issue with that is their driving range can be anywhere between 80-100 miles (works great for errands and daily commuting). Not even gonna mention the headache of figuring out the charging port type(seems NACS format is winning the market).
I have long maintained China is a security threat, but I am excited for the news because it will (hopefully!) push US auto makers to make more affordable models with 200+ mile range.

^This. The city I live needs at least $1bn to fix the janky water and sewer system due to lack of upkeep and the Frankenstein-esque way they just added new parts to the system Civil war era onward. Every time there's too much rain the sewer system backs up into the local river that people still swim in, yum.

This is the same Naked Man festival that only this year decided to allow women limited participation. Interesting timing of that. [https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/lifestyle-culture/article/3249412/1250-years-japans-naked-man-festival-bars-women-until-now-they-cant-go-full-monty]
Feels an awful lot like the episode of Bojack where reasonable gun control got passed only because women started carrying guns everywhere to feel empowered.
As someone in recovery, I totally feel what you're putting down. HOWEVER, most places that have decriminalized/allow recreational already make it illegal to smoke and drive and (typically) public use is also forbidden. Just think of the smell as an unsavory fart or a water treatment plant; it's unpleasant, sticks to the inside of your nose, but passes shortly. Nothing you can do about it but wait for the TEMPORARY unpleasantness to pass.
Having worked in a hotel as well, if that happens just ask for a new room and explain the issue. Most front desk people (even late at night) are more than happy to do what they can to accommodate you.
Just fyi, I wouldn't use the Cyrillic spellings like that because you haven't conjugated them correctly so it just looks like you're trying to seem more knowledgeable than you are of the russian language. But you also spelled the midget's name wrong its "пидарас (pee-da-ross)," have fun triggering orcs with that one =)

At this point why don't we just glass the area and deal with that humanitarian crisis instead. This is what happens when you give a bullied person the gun, they start to shoot everyone because how could 'they' possibly be anything but the victim(imaginary man's supposed people).

Yes and no, primaries are a joke; i.e. what happened to Sanders. The democratic party harpooned his campaign anytime they could in preference of their pre-ordained crap choice.
Early 30's and already made 2 pivots since leaving my 20's. I will say this, employers aren't the brightest; you can tell them that you have a master's degree in that field and that you have no relevant experience yet lay you off later for not knowing how to do the job without being given training.
Whatever, ended up where I am way more happy and making more than the start of this whole career changing thing.

The past two years have been a whirlwind of changes at Netflix — and it’s all to transform the company into a revenue-driving machine that outlives other streamers.
This, I literally only ever watched Bojack and Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. Got rid of it recently and do not regret it. Can find anything worth watching on netflix for free elsewhere. Been a Netflix customer for 14 years and should have ditched them after the first price hike.
Obviously it’s a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It’s meme’d as “Pokemon with Guns”, but at its core is a very heavy survival play style....
About 5 hours in after finding it on gamepass. Its enjoyable, mind you I've just been upgrading my base and exploring to find new pals. There is a bit of a grind as is typical with these games to unlock everything. Would I pay more than $30 for this at this time? No, but for what is there it is quite enjoyable. Either wait for it to go on sale, wait for more features, or play if with gamepass.
As another user pointed out, it feels like My Time at Portia or it's sequal My Time at SandRock
I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.
I remember as a tween sitting there and praying and I just sorta realized wtf am I doing. I had always asked too many questions so I thought it weird an imaginary guy could hear everyone and everything at once. Then I was brought to a fmaily member's church where they told me my father was going to hell because he was a soldier, no ifs and or buts about it. So yeah if 10 year old me can realize it, I don't know what the hell is wrong with these fucking abrahamic religious zealots.
Ukrainian trucker Roman Vlasiuk said that seven trucks per hour should be allowed to cross, which then should increase to 14. If these demands are not met, the group of around 200 truckers will "officially declare a hunger strike" and "switch to only water and tea."
Polish drivers have been blocking several crossings to Ukraine since Nov. 6. That blockade has redirected some traffic through Slovakia, causing hundreds of trucks to pile up for kilometres on the approach to the border.
Truckers from Poland and Slovakia both complain that their Ukrainian peers offer cheaper prices for their services and also transport goods within the EU, rather than just between the bloc and Ukraine.
Basically man babies getting offended about supporting Ukraine.
