I have a freind who’s been using it to compose all the apologies they don’t actually mean. Lol

Went on a spontaneous trip very recently.

Spent a little more money than I’m comfy with.

Truck sprung some issues.

Saw some things I would never have seen otherwise. Some beautiful things, creatures, happenings, and places.

I’ll fix the damn truck. Make the money back (or so)

Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy? Yeah, the human world sucks, but you don’t need all the garbage they sell you, and there’s worthwhile experiences you won’t get with your nose stuck down to the grindstone.

I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.

I’ve had multiple friends die driving. They never thought THAT was a risk.

Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever

It really is dead, isn’t it?

And how, precisely, am I supposed to tell random fucking jackoffs like in the story?

None of you fucks even know what a DNR is, means, what it looks like, and not a single one of you cunts could be expected to uphold it even if you were told.

You don’t get a special bracelet. This isn’t the ‘life alert’ infomercial. Tattoos mean absolutely nothing to medical professionals.

You literally have to have a DNR on file, active, in your county of residence, and they have to look it up. Which will not happen until you’re already admitted.

And if you get sent to a hospital in a different county? Because you’re visiting family or something? You’re fucked. You’re on a machine, keeping you alive. As long as your shitty relatives feel like it.

I have no desire to die incoherent in a hospital with no concept of what’s going on other than everything is uncomfortable. And with the united state’s version of healthcare, I will have to make sure I die somewhere else.

When I die, it isn’t fucking about you

Fuck man, that was a long time ago.

I think the sci-fi channel was 1: still spelled sci-fi, and two: still doing those commercials for themselves where they said some shit in klingon

Sci-fi!

Outer limits I also remember being super cool, though I’ve been made massive fun of for liking because apparently every single episode is a rip off of the twilight zone.

Which is of course worth watching

Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They’re dirty right now. I’m not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

Ugh. Jesus christ.

And yet, people living in vehicles are ‘homeless’ and looked down upon. They’ve left no room for anything else to be realistic

Hey, BRT is great! I’ll happily support that rather than building regular car infrastructure.

I also still vastly prefer the train. Or a ferry, if that’s an option.

Point not brought up by the other person: Bicycles. I am primarily a bike commuter, and have had one good experience with a bike and bus:

Last bus out of the city, like 2:30am. Driver has no time for our shit, tells us to bring them inside and hang on, to hell with the front rack. We didn’t even pay.

I’ve also had my bike half pop out of said front rack, get taco’d, and got absolutely nothing out of it. Totally fucked. No restitution.

Best case with bikes on a bus is you get lucky and get a spot, usually you’re better off just riding the whole way.

Trains, have room. Never not made a train with my bike.

Oh ho ho!

Well, are we talking stuff scored at the bar, or on the drunken stumble back?

Because I have a penchant for grabbing city property that’s been wiped out by some drunk driver already.

Bike racks. Innumerable signs and posts. A fire hydrant, a big fucking fatty, too. Car parts EVERYWHERE That yellow grippy stuff at the crosswalk. Many, many signs and posts. A whole assed traffic light (fucking finally)-not the post. Jesus, not the post. Yes, I tried. A wooden telephone pole (I had help, and we sang chanties while we did it) The lightbox with the little man and hand. It works! So does the traffic light :)

For the record, drinking and driving IS nevada’s state pasttime, and a friend of mine once scored two actual streetlights, posts and all. Bastard tried to sell them to me :/

Why don’t you save All the money you’ve earned?

If I didn’t eat, I’d have money to burn!

This man is a robot

Destroy. Destroy

(He’s totally blowing our cover, wtf?)

Oh just think cucumbers are fucking disgusting.

Lol

You do you of course. I just wish sushi joints would do celery instead of cucumber

It’s older, but I recall liking Earth 2 quite a bit

And they are adding, fast. Far faster than we are. That goal of nearly ten percent solar in less than two years?

That’s not only fucking amazing, that’s achievable, and they’re on target for it.

As cheap as panels and controllers and batteries have gotten? It’s only getting better.

Free electricity. From the fucking sky. Magic is real. You can play xbox with it

How many comorbidities do you have

Gross

Gatorade isn’t actually a good source of electrolytes though.

It’s sugar and pinch of salt.

However! There’s totally good electrolyte powders that are packed with the goods, and they’re not much pricier.

Also, sour patch kids have a weird ingredient in the coating that most electrolyte stuff doesn’t have. Potassiumsomething something, irrc?

If you’re super dehydrated while drinking a fuckload of water, stick some of them under your tongue

I mean, I’m pretty sure that’s a fistful of felonies.

Like if you or I had done that, we’d still be in prison

Wasn’t that long ago, but damned if they ain’t making it harder to do. Every cheap plot of land I’ve looked at has such stringent use restrictions it’s basically having an invasive landlord with more steps. Homesteading is dead, at least in places i’d consider it.

Not to romanticize it too much. It sucked so bad my partner’s mom responded to a trip idea with “what? Fuck no! We lived in a tent for a year, why the fuck would I want to go camping?”

We still are never allowed to ‘just go live in the woods’ lol
