Same is true for most houses though.

It's a sad fact that much of the problems people have with apartments is simply due to their low quality construction. It's perfectly possible to build a sound-proof apartment.

That's just a matter of having the proper clothing.

In cities at least, bikes are just as good as cars in winter. Your city just needs to put as much effort in to building and clearing bike lanes as it does car lanes. Places that give a shit actually plow and salt their bike paths and bike lanes.

Why does that matter to Canada? They don't make their own EVs. They have no domestic manufacturers to protect against dumping. Might as well just get as many cheap vehicles as you can, while you can.

I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Literally, I don't have any say in the matter.

Let's be honest. If I was alive back then, I would have been married off in exchange for a plow, 3 pigs, and 12 sacks of potatoes, if I was lucky.

I find graffiti via chisel is also particularly effective.

Walz should just start running for president now. Become an instant symbol for people to rally around.

Trump started his 2024 campaign immediately after the 2020 election's inauguration. If Trump can start campaigning 4 years in advance, so can Walz.

The purpose of presidential candidates need not be simply a candidate for the office. They can be a president-in-waiting. They can continuously rally the base. They can provide someone on the side of the opposition with a giant megaphone in the media. Trump benefited from all these things in the 2020-2024 period. He was the president-in-waiting, the presumptive nominee. This could be one individual, or it could be 3 or 4 leading candidates. But if we had some declared primary candidates running around shouting the message now, that could really help things.
