Not going to buy an EV. No charging stations nearby. Can't install a charging station where I live. I probably have 10 years of driving left so I will stick with an ICE.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I will be retiring next year with both a pension and social security. I work in county government and that was one of the perks.
I recently watched the following program on PBS: Nazi Town, USA which described the rise of fascism in America at the same time as the Nazis in Germany. It was an eye opening experience and one that has a hauntingly similar essence to our current situation in the USA.
Yes! My ex and I used to build all kinds of computers back then. Of course they used to blow up rather quickly.
It was a slog trying to figure out where I left off once I got up and running again.
Shopping - I bought all kinds of stuff on the internet back then lol. Enough said.
I met so many interesting people that way. And I loved the creativity of their blogs. It's gone like the corner candy store (which I actually remember).
Crazy times indeed. My cousin brought home an Egyptian guy she met on the internet in the early 2000s. Turned out to be just fine but it seemed sketchy at the time.
Yes I miss the forums I used to visit. I was a moderator on a couple and it was a bit of a slog but still enjoyable. I started using the internet in 1996/97 and watched it evolve all these long years. It's definitely morphed into a corporate wasteland.
Fascinating information.
