You are a slave and should opt out of those things.

Your proble is you know what is and cannot imangine what could be.

Because someone needs to be enslaved to provide universial health care. If even one person wants to opt out, no matter how wrong their reason you if you allow don’t allow it they are enslaved. (note that there have been many different systems of slavery, but even the best still remones choice from someone). as such I prefer other options if they exist.

There are other options and so I oppose universial health care. Do not confuse that with approving of the system we have.

Which is true only in the rare case you only have one office that everyone is in. As soom as you don’t have everyone in the same room teams is better. So once you have more than 50 people

The worst thing you can do is block people because of their leanings. That is how you get echo chambers. Of course many extremeists on both sides need to be blocked, just make sure you block them on your side too.

Only if there is a monoboly in place. If there is a market then when they raise rents you just go elsewhere. Since these are items rented by the day it isn’t hard to go elslwhere in the city.

drive the retail areas of town and look for the rental signs. yellow pages. They want to be found by locals so look in the places locals might. hardware stores either rent stuff or will tell you if you ask.

There are pros and cons to both. Sometimes you should rent, others buy. If you use it every day then buying is often best. If you need it once a decade then rent.

There always have been some around. Not all diy stores have one but there is always one near from what I’ve seen. People keep discovering them and thinking they are new.

I’m not sure if I could get anywhere and back. Woge I own a gun and you have allowed me to get it on a plane, but that day would expire before I get home and now I have a gun that I am taking through airports and customs.

that mechine can throw rocks hundreds of feet. Did it shut itself down like safety demands when you are that close?

I have needed a new phone every 2 for the last 6 years because my old one physically broke. Battery might be good, but the screen is cracked: new phone. My last phone quit recognizing the SIM, and so new phone it is. In theory I can buy the parts to repair the phone, but in practice either the parts are obsolete and not stocked, or I can get them special order from China if I’m willing to wait weeks and pay half the price of a new phone. Then hope I actually manage to get the phone together again.

I live in the US where we use many weird by world standards frequencies. I’ve looked into various repairable phones, (fair phone, pine phone), but I quickly realize I often travel in parts of the US where they won’t work. Thus I’m stuck with what my carrier offers. (Apple might be more repairable, but apparently more locked down)

The brutially honest personality test. Which was your standard MB test (not very useful) except it points out typical weaknesses and thus is something to watch out for. I know what I’m good at.

People don’t want to work 3rd shift - the rest of the world (your family, sports…) all work 1st shift. 2nd shift is only slightly better. It is probably better for your life to work 3rd shift for 1 week of every 3, than 3rd shift constantly - those other 2 weeks you can live semi-normal and thus have friends.
It still sucks, probably the best compromise.

In a few specific areas. None within 1000 miles of my city., the tech is promissing, but only time will tell how far it gets.

If you live where it exists then you should be asking questions. It seems like a dream answer.

Automated light metro. build the same guideways all over. Trains that hold around 50 passengers, half with corgo bikes. Cookie cutter stations that are easy to factory prefab. Stations every mile on the existing grid. Automated means you run 24x7 with frequent service.

the important part: no station is more than 10 minutes ( 20 including you bike trip) to a central station where you can transfer to any many other trains including express toethe rest of the city. The central stations must all be in a zoned high density retail area so you can do your shoping there. there will be a lot of them scattered around the metro area.

the above will be expensive. However once bilt it would be cheaper than cars.

who knows if when they will exist. if they exist they will probably work.

I’m not saying give up. There are answers, just not easyones.

Not hard to trace down who is seeding a torrent and deal with them.

The bigger proplem is copyright. Google will fight for ‘their’ creators if they discover you archiving anything. They don’t own copyrights but will tell the court that if the creator wanted their content on peertube they would have put it there.

I’m not asking that. I’m asking you to find the good content when it is there and wetch that instead. I do watch youtube when I’m out of interesting things on peertube but peertube gets first obportunity for my eyes.
