Does anyone know if Rainbow Railroad is offering help to trans people trying to leave Florida?

there’s easier ways to tour the Middle East - and I’d include joining the Marines in that.

That gave me a nice chuckle, thanks.

A more realistic solution, is to replace planet-murdering cars with planet-kicking cars.

What a sad truth. Maybe we can add "and fewer of them".

Shifts power source to the grid. Grid can use different sources for energy production.

Such an excellent point, which I hadn't seen mentioned before. It means we can have more control over those sources. Thank you.

with hand crank windows

I want hand crank windows back anyway. Faster and more reliable. So frustrating when the "auto complete" aspect of modern car windows means I cannot easily get the window half way closed or only a crack open. But I must be in the minority on that.

You may have noticed that being a millionaire is not the sign of real wealth anymore. To be actually wealthy, you need to be a billionaire or at least half-billionaire. Honestly, a middle class person approaching retirement is supposed to be worth a million just to expect to maintain their middle class lifestyle through retirement and into death. Otherwise either their children or the government supports them, probably at a vastly reduced lifestyle.

Do you mean on social media overall?

GREAT question thanks for posting it.

Your English is mostly perfect, but (and as someone who tries, like you, to speak another language correctly):

Could it be that not only these platforms are harmful in mental health and privacy but also physical health?

should be

Could it be that not only are these platforms harmful in mental health and privacy but also physical health?

The change in location of the word are is what makes it a grammatically correct question rather than a statement.

To me, I think the primary harm to our physical health IS the impact on our mental health, which is a physical health. To say nothing of neglecting our physical bodies by being so sedentary.

The difference is the relationship. A business has customers. The economy has consumers.

Thanks a bunch. I already checked out the first one, but now I'm checking out your link. Much appreciated.

edit Subbed to a few, much appreciated.

Anyone remotely blaming me for making others sick does not know me. I took the covid vaccine the second time it came to my area, which was just a month after the first round and when it was still only being given to "high risk" people like me. I certainly don't think it keeps you from catching it entirely, any more than the flu vaccine does. But I'm wholly convinced it reduces severity. And like flu vaccines, it appears to my non-scientific observations that, as covid evolves, the vaccines may not always "catch" each iteration of covid perfectly well. People I know are, again, getting sicker when they get covid. And yeah I absolutely believe in N95 masks worn properly; despite having a job where I'm in close face-to-face quarters with my customers I've not had covid (to my knowledge).

The fact that I don't embrace change the first time it shows its face probably has more to do with being 70 years old. If what I'm doing now already works well, I'm in no hurry for change unless it's helpful.
