Like imagine taking a big ol dump truck, and putting the back from a regular pickup on it so it’s just a monster pickup. Saw one like that once.

Or imagine a sports car front, with a station wagon back. Like a shooting brake but more shootier.

Or utes like they have in Australia, love those

Because older politicians are more established and have larger networks to support/bribe them.

Not jesting 100% serious

I would cut cars in half and weld them into the other halves of other cars

Same. Been very happy. Great iOS integration.

Unshaved

Their religion values pubes

Was Saturn V affordable?

Because maybe the question isn’t whether it’s affordable but whether we are budgeting enough money.

Flying.

I know that’s already a type, but so many are flying/normal that it’s super diluted. I’d change that.

There could be if you were ok with videos being 400p and 20fps. Maybe use some upscaler that runs on the client. Maybe you have to pay to upload.

Storage and bandwidth are really what makes it impossible to do.

Smart. People can still rent out an extra room, but can’t squat on an apartment solely for Airbnb.

That’s how airbnbs were when I’ve used them in the past, things like a place where you can sleep on someone’s couch, or a house with a spare room you can crash in. Those kinds of arrangements were way cheaper than hotels and very appealing.

Yes, the whole place is on sale right now. I’m going in a few weeks. Hotels are insanely cheap compared to the states. I’m staying in renovated monnestaries and castles for less than a low end chain hotel costs at home.

Airfare is fucking brutal though, so it’s almost a wash.

That is mostly true here as well. From what my German coworkers tell me (and from what I see in job postings), salaries here are generally higher, even after paying for medical care etc. this is in the sciences but I’ve heard it’s true in other fields as well.

I was about to say you need to look at gdp per capita not just gdp, but I googled it and the eurozone has about the same population as the USA.

With such a large gdp difference, looks like Americans will be doing a lot of travel to Europe, and even more Europeans may be coming over here for jobs. It seems like half the people I work with are from Germany.

A cnc laser cutter with enough watts so it could cut thin metal but also acrylic and wood and stuff.

I would love to make rc airplanes, and medieval armor, and fun stuff like that

And their daughter brands. Lexus = Toyota, Acura = Honda. For when you want something flashy.

Who said anything about christians???

Working for your own reasons is fundamentally different than laboring and having part of what you produce taken from you by an employer

Pretty sure in the old days, when there were fewer people, you could just fuck off into the forest and build yourself a cottage. If your feudal lord found out you’d be in trouble, but they didn’t have satellites or whatnot to track you down.

We have this weird unwritten assumption that the cost of technological advancement (esp medical) was our own domestication. That we sacrificed freedom and privacy for health and safety. I wonder if that’s really the case, or if it’s some bullshit post hoc justification

USA should have done this to Scientology after they infiltrated the CIA or whatever it was.

At some point you have to be able to do so, despite religious protections. Otherwise “we are a religion” is a “get out of jail” card.
