I cant read past the first paragraph because of paywall. If the author hasn't come to the conclusion that it's because of all the fucking cars they need to reassess.

Walking to places and randomly running into people who can become acquaintances, then friends is difficult or impossible in places with cars as the primary transport.

Meeting in 'third places' is no longer easy because all of those areas are gone or dying due to car based infrastructure.

Town and city public meetung spaces are dying or gone due to car based infrastructure 'needing' those areas for parking.

Rage comics were better and were actually a modern form of Commedia dell'arte or Masked Theatre, in such that it used stock characters and so plot could be both meaningful but simple. Wojacks lack implied character and context, so story or character depth requires explanation which doesn't usually work as well with that form

I'm just some guy who can maybe read minds?

I don't know about the microwave. Heat actually breaks the bond for these kinds of adhesives, so if it isn't poisonous, it probably wouldn't work well for that anyway.

If you add an extra step of bullshit it makes it all squeaky clean. Everyone knows that. Like hydrogen, or electric cars, or biodegradable plastics or or or...

Super glue.

Cyanocrylate adhesives were accidently discovered in WW2 while trying to develop a clear plastic. Later Eastman-Kodak held the patent and then sold it to Loctite on the 1960s.

Loctite 404 is so much better than anything else available on the market. It bonds better, it's stronger, it lasts longer and the bottle applicator is more controlled and easier to use. If you want it to last years, you can actually store in in the refrigerator when not being used.

A common thing I've told people starting out is to find a class or race you want to compete in and build the car for that. It's almost always cheaper to have one race car and one street car than it is to have a car that tries to do both.

I used to build race cars. Two guys I knew did this.

The first one was actually a massive nerd who by day worked for some shipbuilding company that designed and made composite hulls for the Navy. It was big money with few working hours.

The other guy owned some random worthless land in the middle of nowhere and some oil company sent him money each month for mineral rights.

So essentially both had limitless funds for what is usually a side hobby.

The CIS consists of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

You can definitely have all the gear and not need it. I've set mine up a little at a time to do specific tasks. Some examples:

Alert me if my side gate is unlocked at night, because that is the access to my business.

Check if there is water in the chicken house reservoir, as that means the chickens have dropped a pebble in the valve again.

Anything new I buy has the ability to directly talk to homeassistant without a third party. Zigbee, zwave, ip. If its cloud it can fuck right off, I don't need it.

Many brand names are using these protocols to talk to their bullshit hubs that then send your data out of your network. I've got a hodgepodge of stuff like samsung sensors, Ikea switches, ip cameras and all kinds of stuff.

It isn't even that hard to set them up. HA can detect most devices on the network and recognise them.

She was such an addict she even went for Nelix's viscous delta quandrant seed blend.
