Why’d he do that, scalping?

I hadn’t heard of that event

Gotcha, that makes sense

It’s like that anecdote about the $50 shoes breaking down within a year vs the $150 shoes that last forever

Where is it defined as 200-400k a year?

I thought it was based off of savings and ability to vacation

I just take issue with the word “rich”

Like all those people are poor, primarily as a result of the politicians and corporate greed. I ain’t rich but I’m luckily far from that 40% grouping. I’d probably be grouped as the elusive middle class

You don’t have to be rich, that’s what loans are for Solar is also way cheaper in other non-us countries

Also balcony solar is coming to the US so it’ll be more accessible

I don’t think it’s a problem to be selfish, if you can provide for the kid (both emotionally and materially).

Also the foster/adopt system is exceedingly slow (months to years for placement) and the older children are likely to have serious issues. Personally I’d be fine with fostering to adopt but I don’t want to risk bringing a behavioral nightmare of a teen into my house.

For new life, assuming the emotional + material needs are met, existence is definitely worth it over nothingness. Global warming and all these authoritarian politicians are definitely making for a shitty looking future for new life though.

Yall got some dismal life experiences; what a dour outlook on life.

When my favorite bands drop new songs, I’ll exclusively listen to those new songs on repeat for days

I love music

That 200mi estimate is based on driving around 30-40 mph

You can expect like 140 miles of range at highway speeds

You should pull footage now to ensure it’s working the way you want. I realized my date/timestamps were broken cuz the camera was only powered when the car was. Misc stuff like that is good to know ahead of time

Even worse than bus factor, it’s really easy to compromise when no one double checks your work:
