I’ve known several people with a habit of buying old Volvos. Probably a luxury car ….. but like 20 years old

Definitely part of your point: he’s also fucking over his own constituents. We not only have record high (for us) gas prices but he can gaslight us that they’re cheap relative to the Netherlands because taxes for infrastructure and maintenance do not come close to covering infrastructure or maintenance.
It’s just another level. Try to make us feel better because at least we’re not like Europeans … with their trains and bicycles. While we ignore that we’re also victims here. Our prices follow global supply and demand, so a big part of the difference is we don’t tax enough to maintain existing roads, much less catch up on infrastructure….. while a few oligarchs get ever richer
I believe a lot of the difference is fuel taxes. You also have to put up with… infrastructure you can afford to maintain
I’m never sure where the joke ends, but everyone’s aware of dynamic stability right? The stabilizer pushes the tail down so flight is level, but if you lose lift, the tail goes up, the nose down, you gain speed, and lift is restored. If you gain too much speed, the tail is pushed down, nose up, you lose speed and level off.
Military jets have other priorities
Yeah, you got me. I have a decent car that I like but I also like that I can walk a few places. I really miss when I lived downtown, and had the freedom to walk/subway anywhere without having to deal with traffic or parking. Unfortunately jobs in my field are in suburban office parks, and you can’t get there.
My current employers office is only 3.5 miles away. Too far to walk every day, even if there were sidewalks. Too hilly for bicycling with my bad knees. I’d consider an electric bicycle but can’t imagine surviving some of the roads to get there
And I’ll answer as well to keep the train running, even though i wasn’t part of this…
I don’t pay with cash unless specifically asked. I don’t regularly carry cash. If I need to pay cash I get it first that purpose, but usually get a larger amount. I’m a bit more likely to use it if I gave it but don’t refill it when it’s gone, until I’m forced to
You could ask some of those guys how they prefer to be paid. My electrician likes Venmo and my house cleaner prefers Zelle. I can pay them instantly like with a credit card but they’re not hit with the fees
One of the farmshares near me is selling a “stone fruit” share. Maybe I’ll take a closer look
Then there are a few aircraft that can do it like old movies. Perfectly safe to fly with the “window” open, and a hell of a lot of fun
Wages in the uk are low relative to the US, at least in my current company, and train tickets into London for those working in the office are ridiculous
I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

It’s an accelerator. At some point even the wealthiest must be affected. If humanoid robots become e a practical means of automation, suddenly there will be a lot of desperate people. At some point UBI might be the cheap solution for the wealthy
