- Comment on What kind of car is this? 20 hours ago:
It’s a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, and based on the hood and red interior probably one of the higher trims like Rubicon. That’s the larger, 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen. It’s also the pre-facelift interior, so it’s either a 2018-2023 Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited (JL/JLU) or 2020-2024 Gladiator (JT). I can’t quite see enough detail but one of the icons on the screen looks more like a pickup truck, so I’m inclined to say it’s a Gladiator. Someone else might chime in with more details.

I wonder if this one will be closer to the books? Sometimes I questioned if Landon had ever even read the books. Not that I watched a lot, but we used to run the reruns at a TV station where I used to work.

Maybe Japan is so advanced it already moved past the overhyped generative “AI” and that’s why we haven’t heard anything about it

Does that apply in Europe? OP says most European capitals have direct flights, that take 2-4 hours, so that probably puts this somewhere in Europe.

You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??
It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.
- Comment on The great Canadian milk bag LIE [3:48] 1 week ago:
At this point in the US I really only see the plastic jugs for half-gallon and gallon sizes (~1.9 and 3.75 liters respectively), but the gallon size jugs are also used for water, especially distilled water like people would use in a clothes iron or CPAP machine. They also have half-gallon cartons, though, and any smaller sizes for milk have traditionally only been cartons, except sometimes if you buy milk at a convenience store like a gas station it will be in a plastic bottle like most of the other single-serving beverages.
I’m sure I’ve seen the gallon jug style in Quebec but don’t know what volume they contain, although from what I’ve seen with a lot of things when Canada went metric they just changed the labels but kept the same sizes.

I’ve seen bagged milk in Quebec but also normal (to Americans) cartons, bottles, and jugs.

- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.

I have this saved to watch later, but I also feel like suggesting a 37 minute video to people who aren’t familiar with this concept would be a hard sell. And I suspect this guy is not to everyone’s taste. I’ve watched one surprisingly long video about a can opener from him. I enjoyed it, but I would describe him as a Midwest US James May, and that probably doesn’t appeal to everyone.

Not in a position to watch this, but I have done some very basic insert edits in my time and it was certainly the faster way to accomplish the task in those cases. I did appreciate the speed and relative ease of the task.

- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 month ago:
The money you’re paying DoorDash isn’t going to the drivers, so I don’t know how driverless cars will reduce the costs. Having driven for DoorDash off and on over the past couple years, they typically only pay $2 per delivery, plus whatever tip the customer gives. I’ve read they additionally charge the restaurants around a 30% commission on all orders, which is why the prices are so much higher than in the restaurant; the restaurants raise the prices so that they still get roughly the same money after the commission is deducted.
I’m not really sure where all that money goes with DoorDash. They clearly try to keep support costs as low as possible. I’m guessing they lose a lot to refunds, legitimate or not. But I still don’t understand how the prices can be so high yet they always seem tight on cash.

When I was in college I got a part time job at an investment firm and they’d given a job to one of their larger client’s kid, largely simple data entry. He, however, spent most of the day playing online poker and they eventually fired him.

One I haven’t seen mentioned is Puerto Rico. One thing I like is there is essentially no random chance to this game; everything that happens is a result of choices you or your opponents make.

- Comment on Would it be more beneficial to move to Brazil and be an English teacher there or be a Portuguese teacher in the United States? 1 month ago:
The market for Portuguese language teachers in the US would depend heavily on where OP lives, and they might have better prospects moving to a different city. I would think a large city like Chicago would have some demand, but perhaps not as high as Miami given the population of Brazilian expats and tourists in Miami. And either of those would probably be higher than, say, Crosby, North Dakota unless Crosby quietly has a large immigrant community. Still, moving within the US for work is probably much easier than moving from the US to Brazil.
