Actually, I apologize. That was rude. To be fair, your post was pretty rude too. I’ve personally covered a lot if ground in foreign countries with public transpo and walking. Rented a lot of bikes too. Bonus points if you're with a local. Shit, five days ago the wife and I got back fron Glenwood Springs via Amtrak. It…

Never left the US, eh?

And such small portions!

Yeah. Suburban Colorado. Everybody has a basement and at least a 1960s, 1-car garage, and they’re all packed with bullshit. Hell, look at the self-storage industry. And it’s as you say... the wife and I just had a new house built. Expanded garage was a 12k$ option. We were like "eh." But it's pretty damn tight with 2…

E-verify for employment is pretty good. Of course it doesn't matter if the employer isn't running the check on potential illegals, TRUMP COUNTRY CLUBS.

Former Floridian here. Mild firearms enthusiast. If the thief runs and you shoot them in the back, SYG laws don’t cover you. Castle doctrine can vary from state to state, so you really shouldn’t be just shooting people willy nilly.

Florida did that years ago too. ID, prints, photo, the whole deal. 

As a fellow resident of Sooper Country, I see enough 80k$ Gladiators to know I'll see this.

Bruh I was shopping used Subarus because my shitbox jeep is gonna rust out from under me any day now and my new job is gonna need me to travel a bit. I don't save much money until 100k-mile examples. Fuckit. I'm buying new.

That’s a non sequiteur. Protestors and coos aren’t the same thing to be compared, even remotely.

I know drywall guys. They have a van. Painters too.

For my money it’s close enough. I have been looking to buy new and have been dithering because conditions but I am diggin this hard.

That sounds likely. A company I worked for was trying to get an energy star certification but couldn't because the end user could defeat the item's normal energy-saving feature.

I always loved that kind of personality typing. It’s great for letting someone know what kind of person you think you are.

Yes, the entire consensus of car culture on a number of points consists of bullshit. 

You should see how we get fucked on healthcare.

IKR? I worked for an electronics manufacturer. Small. Like 3 million in sales a year. Team of 3 of us. We manufactured in China, shipped to the US, and then to north America. My spreadsheet game is weak, and I was still able to figure out various costs and methods. I could give you a shipping-included price, a…

It's so normalized in the US. Literally nothing we buy shows its true final price. 

“It’s too complicated!” Fuck off. The cash register in any grocery store knows what category of good gets what set of multiple taxes applied, coupons, what deals apply to what payment methods, what discounts apply for what level of club card, etc. The minwage cashier has no clue. If you can use xL, you can program it.…

Prices always rise. You could be wrong and still win that bet. This is also why a lot of studies are trash.
