Before moving, I specifically chose somewhere that I could commute by bicycle most days - both for work, and to run short errands. My 10 year old vehicle sits parked most days, while I put over 3000 miles a year on my bicycle haha. I'd much rather burn the calories and save money at the same time over having some fancy new vehicle with all sorts of bells and whistles.

Truck purchases are driving up the average cost of car payments. Some buyers pay over $1,000 a month
I don't visit those websites lol. Or I find workarounds using archive websites, cached versions on google search, etc. Sometimes for news article websites I simply copy/paste the headline into search and find another site scraping the same content.
I've even found that sometimes hitting print fast enough when a website loads lets me see the page in the print-preview before the popup loads.

Posting the article because the site angered me with popups
Lol wow, I've forgotten what popups look like nowadays. My router-level ad blocking and uBlock origin extensions ensure that I see essentially zero ads online. Anywhere.
I never saw a single one of those "he gets us" ads, and only know they exist because I've heard so many people complain about them.
With all the news in the past 24 hours, I take it Pootin isn't too thrilled with the performance of his armed forces lately.
Yep I have the same belief - if it wants to grow I'll let it grow, I do not use any "weed-n-feed" products. I only do two main things:
-
Lime in the fall to sweeten up the soil
-
Organic fertilizer in the early spring.
I let anything grow that wants to grow in the fields, and let bigger stuff grow at the edges of the property.
Damn, did they digitally de-age Kenan and Kel? That's freaking impressive
There's been a lot of chatter that he is seriously ill (I've heard cancer or Parkinson, but who knows what it really is) - people who've analyzed the recent photos say they see swelling in his hands/wrists which could indicate the use of strong steroids which are known to alter thought processes that could explain his recent believe that he could win a conflict with Ukraine and beat India to the south pole of the moon (concurrently no less).
I'm honestly impressed that russia admitted the landing failed at all, I figured they would have simply kept quiet. I guess they know we have strong enough telescopes to see the crash site? Who knows lol
Well, I mean NASA pulled a spare mars rover out of their R&D testing labs, modified it's toolset a bit, and sent it to Mars for a second soft landing (didn't they use a sky-crane for both rover deployments?). I'd say that takes a bit more skill than landing on the Moon. But I don't play Kerbal Space Program enough to know how much
It's the lost-cause fallacy. They're incapable of self reflection because it could compromise their entire identity/beliefs.
Talk to anyone who worked in hospitals during the height of COVID. All of them encountered people gasping for air as their lungs filled with covid pneumonia, on their death beds insisting they did not have covid, and it was all a government conspiracy. Even on their deathbeds, these people still cannot accept reality.
Yeah, parody or not, it's blocked lol
Is that his f*cking blue steel look? Wonder how long he spent practicing that expression in the mirror this week.
