Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.

The “Cheap Old Houses” website is reassuring. It’s not a McMansion in the tony suburbia of a large popular city, but there are small reasonably priced houses in smaller cities and towns. https://www.cheapoldhouses.com/

I have two friends from high school who found houses under $100k within driving distance of larger cities ($60k in Kansas, $32k in Illinois)

If you don’t want to use a real luffa made from the luffa gourd, you can use a simple cotton washcloth to scrub. They can last for decades, wash in the laundry with your towels, and biodegrade/compost after a long and useful life.

 

Yes, please! We need younger people running and getting involved. Don’t fall for the apathy and helplessness being shoved at us. (Who does it serve?)

 

The emphasis on fresh high-quality food made me wonder if that sort of food is more satisfying (and filling) than what the author sees in American food. Does eating poor quality food leave you hungry? (Also, consider people living in “grocery deserts” who subsist on large amounts of fast food. Their obesity rates are very high.)

A lot of the subs are already up and running (HydroHomies, CasualUK, Solarpunk, Guitars, 196, FuckCars, etc) under their old names, some with variations. When you search the entirety of Lemmy, give it a moment because it takes a few seconds to retrieve.

You can subscribe/unsubscribe with reckless abandon!

(And search your favorites often, there is a steady flow of new communities being created right now.)
