Elon famously made the decision to cut lidar and replace with cameras instead.

Donald Trumps America is right. This isn’t my America.

I’m in the trades, we’ve only increased hiring.

That last sentence, "And I’m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower that he has since then betrayed,” is very true.

The conservative people I work with DO NOT like what Trump is doing right now. Hope it hits fever pitch where they actually start doing something about it and send a very clear message. Trump won’t listen because he’s too much up a psychopathic narcissist but it may change the people around him to stop empowering him.

So, if both American and Dutch parents value independence, why do Dutch kids seem so much happier? I wonder if the key difference lies in how both sets of parents understand what freedom for kids looks like.

“Dutch parenting is all about raising self-sufficient kids,” Tracy told me. “My older two (ages 12 and 14) bike more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) daily to school since there are no school buses.

“If a teacher cancels a class, students just have free time instead of a substitute. My 14-year-old had two canceled classes this morning and simply stayed home until noon. This would be a logistical nightmare for schools and parents if we didn’t just expect our kids to sort it out.”

Dutch parenting, according to the close to a dozen parents in the Netherlands I spoke with, emphasizes allowing children a freedom of movement that many American kids don’t have. When I was in Haarlem and Amsterdam, bikes and little kids on bikes were everywhere.

Good article. We moved to an open concept neighborhood (low open fences, not “privacy” style) and the kids have a lot of movement around the neighborhood since it’s safe, and it has a lot of trails, wide sidewalks, and bike lanes. Yes, it’s more affluent. They’ve definitely been a lot happier than our last house where privacy fences were everywhere. They made friends a lot faster and seem to know everyone.

I was thinking the same thing. It really does describe it well.

If you have to wear a mask to hide your face to do your job, you’re the bad person. And if their leaders don’t know they’re doing this then they’re bad leaders.

Thank you for your service in this particular way.

One of my best neighbors is a former Navy nurse from a dirt as poor part of Jamaica 🇯🇲. He immigrated this way. Amazing guy and has a great family. My daughter and his daughter are best friends.

This is also not that accurate. Cities are where it rings true most and the US has a LOT of space in between them away from the coasts. It’s not really like tightly packed Europe and more like Scandinavia.

I also know a total of 0 people that make minimum wage, even in entry level jobs right out of high school.

There’s only 2 builders around here that do things better and they cost $100K more for the same sq ft. That’s what we went with. No major issues at all. One minor issue was the moron HVAC installers not using the max amp breaker on the condenser causing it to trip when under heavy load. The right size fixed it. Thanks building regional for passing their inspection you asshats.

Finally some sanity in here.

It’s always about the money. Everyone else yelling about them spying, they’ll only do that if it makes them more money.

Lest we forget:

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Pretty hard to argue that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” doesn’t mean what it clearly states. It’s not even in legalese. The fact that this wasn’t laughed out of court says everything.

Filter by island. Plenty of options.

Same. I won’t tolerate pop ups. We didn’t when the internet was new and I sure won’t when watching a show I’M PAYING TO WATCH.

Boot licker extraordinaire.

Yeah, it really does depend on how the municipality /state decides to read it, that’s the worst part. What’s the spirit here?

Permanently installed electric vehicle power transfer system equipment shall be installed by qualified persons.

This seems to indicate direct wired installations, which should only be done by a licensed electrician.

Acquaintances.

I’m complaining about the public. Talk is cheap.
