It’s fun. Getting away from it all and spending some quality time with nature. Hiking yourself into exhaustion. Sitting peacefully by the fire and watching it crackle.
Have low expectations and try to roll with whatever situations happen, things won’t be ideal or perfect. There might be rain, there might be mosquitos, it might get chilly at night, the ground might be hard where you sleep. The best thing to do is be prepared and try to keep a good attitude. There is a kind of fun to be had in persevering through any unideal situations that happen.
There are a lot of useful skills for camping that can , and a good way to spend the time on the first trip is to start learning these. Like if you’ve never made a campfire before, ask your friend to teach you how to gather kindling and build the fire.

Ironic, gallons per mile is actually a more useful measure for high fuel efficiency vehicles because it directly represents fuel consumption. Differences in MPG are more misleading to intuition as MPG increases.
For example, upgrading from an 18mpg car to a 28mpg car saves more fuel than upgrading from a 34mpg car to a 50mpg car. It is easy to be misled that 34mpg -> 50mpg is more savings because it is an upgrade of 16mpg rather than only 10mpg.

- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 5 weeks ago:
Even if tariffs worked the way Trump wanted and it magically brings all this manufacturing back to the USA, it will still cause extreme inflation in the USA. The reason foreign goods are so cheap? Dirt cheap labor. To manufacture these goods in the USA would mean orders of magnitude higher labor costs and ultimately orders of magnitude higher price of goods to the consumer. Inflation.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 5 weeks ago:
If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs domestically
Do they even accomplish this?
“Chinese exports have a large impact on our economy, therefore you have to either support tariffs or let them do anything they want” 🤡 take

Older subarus are a high value and age well. I would expect it to hold decent value but that is crazy to be worth more 5 years later

I mean yeah, that’s why I said beater. I just wouldn’t expect someone young or looking for a first car to be buying a current model year with low miles anyway.
- Comment on Based on a true story 5 weeks ago:
Is cash for a beater car no longer an option? I don’t want to be a “less avocado toast more bootstraps” person but a loan for a used car sounds wild to me. Maybe I’m out of touch. My vehicle is old enough to drink

Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

But saying that a country can’t do anything about espionage unless they pass that law is unrealistic.
Who said that?

No I’m not conflating anything, you’re just moving the goalpost…
People can still do murder even though its illegal and most murders go unsolved, so we shouldn’t have laws making murder illegal

I would expect a meaningful data privacy law would involve forcing the client software to be audited to ensure they aren’t collecting the information in the first place?
