My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

That said... it's definitely not ideal, and it's generally relegated to similar games like you're talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

Seriously. I bought new jeans two weeks ago. I went to multiple different stores. My choices were skinny jeans, a different brand of skinny jeans, or a different brand with a different style of skinny jeans.

That isn't "normal" though. Part of the reason that companies like unlimited PTO is that typically workers take less PTO when unlimited is offered.

I had 8 weeks paid per year in my last job, so rolling in to this one with unlimited I pretty much do the same. But for sure I'm a bit of an anomaly. I rarely see others taking time.

I tried this, but was told "take your laptop, we'll expense the Internet".

Yes, and somehow those who are against RealID are okay with using a passport.

I very intentionally received only an associate's degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It's worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs "require" a bachelor's or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

In my experience, I've seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

Flat tax is nice in theory, but it's horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k

I've been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

More than anything it's just awareness.

My 'smart' LG washer/dryer plays a jaunty little tune when done. Even on max volume it's difficult to hear. I miss my old dumb machines.

The brakes are part of the trailer. I'd imagine laws are different everywhere, but where I'm at trailer brakes are required for 3000+ pound trailers, though it's a bit more complicated than that and even a 1500 pound trailer could require them.

Anyway, the point is that big 5th wheel travel trailers are way heavier than even a huge dually truck. A 7,000 pound truck can tow a 25,000 pound trailer. I'd imagine the towbot would be limited to something a bit more sane, like 6,000 pounds (class 3 hitch). Since the towbot doesn't also have to carry passengers etc, I'd imagine 1,500 to 2,000 pounds for it.

Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.
