    I know it sarcasm, but dude is actually ethnically Jewish and used to brag back in college about his cousins in the IDF. Was VERY surprised to see his name connected with this years later.

    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.

    Cross posting a resource to help those fighting book bans.

    A new free resource to support librarians, educators, parents, students, and other community advocates in their efforts to keep frequently challenged books on shelves. I thought it appropriate to share this in case anyone finds it helpful. Especially since the shameful display of WVA.

    Japan's 'naked men' festival succumbs to aging population

    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.

  • I don't think marijuana should be legal because smokers can't seem to not do it out in public and I don't want to smell it, breathe it in, or have my whole car filled with the smell.

    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.

    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).

    Have you seen men around you completely changing career in their 30s? How did it go?

    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.

    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.

    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
