Without a fire you have a better chance of seeing/hearing wildlife. For the record, most of my camping experiences are wilderness backpacking. I typed out more reasons in another response in this thread.
- Comment on Celebratory Return to Online Meme 4 weeks ago:
Cook on a stove. Way easier and quicker. Without a fire you’ll see/hear more wildlife. You won’t wake up with smokeface, puffy eyes, everything smelling like smoke. In my experience most camping injuries involve fire/firewood gathering. If backpacking, without a fire you’ll save a lot of energy. No holes in expensive nylon gear. I know going without a fire is sacrilege to a lot of people, give it a try sometime

- Comment on Housing prices 4 weeks ago:
That’s with 7% being an average, they were in the high teens in the 80’s. Funny how that works. Rates go up, house prices go down and vice versa. Supply and demand of course but it’s as if cost of living is based on what you can afford to pay not what the product is worth. Throw in property taxes and there’s another pesky variable affecting the price. I once considered buying a vacation cabin in NY state because the price was remarkably cheap until I saw the property taxes. A mortgage gets paid off but property taxes are forever. I guess my long, rambling point I’ve piggyback onto yours is it’s more complicated than “capitalism sucks”

I once responded with “honestly no but I mustn’t have have be doing the speed limit or we wouldn’t be here”. It got a laugh and I was let off with a warning. For the record, I’m a white guy with a mustache. Cops love mustaches
- Comment on This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen? 4 weeks ago:
Dems commit political suicide pushing Obamacare, lefties sit out the midterms. Biden forgives student loan debt, lefties sit out the midterms. Lefties:“why don’t the Dems cater to me?”

- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 month ago:
They get people to join the military by offering them free college. If everyone got free college there would be less incentive to join the military

- Comment on I guess I won't see a concert tonight. 3 months ago:
Why bother with big concerts? Unless you’re rich you’re sitting a half mile away watching them on a jumbo screen next to the stage. I prefer small stage venues. You can get close to the action and often talk to the band at the merch table. Go often enough and you’ll see familiar faces. Those are scene-sters that make the rounds and know the up and coming bands worth seeing, local bands too. You might even catch acts before they get big, everybody starts somewhere. Not everyone show is a winner but you won’t spend a week’s pay

- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 5 months ago:
Also kids being the first to run into the house and turn on the TV because it had to warm up. You needed to have it up and running before your show came on because if you missed it you weren’t gonna see it until reruns. Now it has occurred to me the term rerun is obsolete

- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 5 months ago:
I got my first “home computer” in the days of the BBS’s when there was such a thing as a “long distance call”. Internet access was crazy expensive and not for the average geek. Back then it was a bit “underground”. There were professionals and there were passionate hobbyists. Most people didn’t have or need a computer in their lives. Things changed in the late 90’s boom. A cultural shift when suddenly everyone joined in. The geeks were no longer king
