Honestly, people driving huge vehicles are usually distracted by their phones and the amount of accidents dt that are pretty high. They hit pedestrians and cyclists (both bicycles and motorbikes) as well as other autos. One has to be very alert. There are also the assholes who speed weaving in and out of traffic cutting you off that you have to be alert to. Additionally, we have a lot of drivers under the influence since pot became legal.
I really had to take a hard look at my spending habits. I determined that I can probably shift at least 75% of nonfood/grocery purchases to secondhand goods like clothing, appliances, tools, furniture . I can’t do much about services (and don’t really want to since they are local businesses) but prices are still higher and I have some savings goals to meet that I had to decrease d/t increase in the cost of basic living (groceries, fuel, electric/gas). There are also some items I want to purchase for independence in case of emergency events since FEMA is basically useless now (eg. like a solar generator, a water tank with manual pump, rain barrel system, garden fencing, woodchipper, trailer hitch for car and wagon trailer, solar ebike) so I need to save because I am not willing to go into debt.
The last Republican pol that decided to hold a Town Hall basically all their attendees were chanting “Fuck You” together at them. (I enjoy using “they/them” for MAGA Republicans)
The Epstein class, Republican politicians and their Evangelical nationalist ministries have given the Catholic priests a run for their money on that crime against humanity.
With Windows 11, every stupid thing you save on your computer, a copy automatically goes up into the cloud and fills your allotment and then they want you to buy more cloud space. I have a ton of Google cloud space not being used so just sent all that there and deleted the microsoft cloud stuff… and shut down the permissions for files to be sent there. They want $19.99 a month for more cloud space! I am not a huge fan of Google but my space there is less expensive also… I have a hard drive I am backing my files up to but I have had the sad experience of corrupted drives…
I need to learn more about Linux. I am not particularly tech knowledgeable… just what I have been able to pick up while working, I am in my 60s (did not have computers in HS, a small computer lab in college… I grew up analog).
Yes and yes. It’s going to happen. Kegseth and Trumpy (and Bibi and MBS) are bloodthirsty and honestly, they don’t care whose blood it is.
Hey Donald… Tick Tock
It is unfair that babies and children have to suffer the consequences of their moronic parents. However, those morons should understand that doctors and nurses are mandated reporters and a call to CPS will get someone a-knocking on their door for medical neglect.
Perhaps he had a TBI during his military service…
He suddenly has standards… I think he just wants to avoid ending up in some International Court like Nuremberg. I mean, he was just best buddies with Tulsi Gabbard a vile POS.
Elon…and Vance… and pretty much the entire Trump cabinet… come on, we would line up and pay for the pleasure.
Or at least a back door some hacker can drive a semi-truck through. All the screen will show is I HAZ ALL YUR HAMBERDERS
He spoke that into his phone’s microphone. His fingers are too important and valuable to do anything but wipe his own ass.
I have used Motorola for the last 5 years or so. They had superior battery life compared to the others and were inexpensive. I bought my last one for like 40 bucks on clearance. I won’t spend more than 100 bucks plus tax on a phone anymore. I use minimal apps, don’t take lots of pictures with it, mostly text and make phone calls on it. I don’t keep social media apps on it nor restaurant apps. I mostly use the Maps, the Notes, and the browser applications. I don’t like the android/google calendar interface but will use reminders/tasks. I also use book/reading/podcast apps (Librivox, Podbean, Kindle, and another one…). I had overly invested in Kindle years ago unfortunately. I don’t really watch video on the phone as it is too small, but have YT music on it. I could use advice for alternatives that are better.
I am on my first Honda, a CRV. I bought it during COVID 2021 new because all the used cars were going for new car prices and the new cars… there were not many of them d/t supply train issues. So I went for something that would last a long time and retain more value than a Chevy (which I drove before that and most Chevy’s would last maybe 10 years before major expensive repairs started their siphon on my bank account.
