A quick click and browse around has proven this may be one of my new favorite resources... And a webapp... I'm in love

Let's just say the entire bathroom gets a thorough cleaning when the deed is done

I will eat zero Oreos for years and years... Then promptly eat two full containers with a gallon of milk. All or nothing

The fuck???

Plus one for Proton. I've used Tutanota but enjoy the Proton suite. It's been a while since I used Tutanota so can't remember if they have a suite or not

Depends on the person. If me and my mother are talking about going to and from the same location, I may say it is an 18 hour drive because I only stop for fuel and quick pee breaks. My mother would say its a 24-25 hour drive because she drives slower and takes longer/more frequent breaks

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I actually work in an adjacent field so I think I'm decently qualified to speak on the infrastructure here. Firstly, I am in one of the larger metropolitan areas of the US. We are completely dependent on cars. We have a couple of train tracks but the pricing, limited destinations, and limited run times kill any chance they have of converting the masses, myself included. We have no plans for more mass transit and no plans to improve current mass transit. While they are making an attempt to make the area more bike friendly, the zoning laws effectively make these changes impossible as places you would typically travel to are too far from your place of residence. These zoning laws don't appear to be changing anytime soon.

The real problem with my area specifically, but America as a whole is just the vastness. Due to the sheer amount of space we have, there is urban sprawl everywhere. Why live on top of one another when everyone can get a little space and we can destroy all of the beautiful nature around us and pave over paradise?

As a personal anecdote, by American terms I live close to work and VERY close to the grocery store. Store is a 20 minute walk one way and work would take me hours to get to... or I can hop in a car, be at the store in under a minute and to work in 10

Edit: and unfortunately I would love a motorcycle but due to licensing requirements (or lack thereof for motorists) and the appalling infrastructure, it is just too unsafe to justify a motorcycle of any kind.

I have that naggin self-doubt weekly and it's starting to drive me nuts...

The way I read it, it means that it doesn't seem real/factual.

As an American, this is a SMALL truck. Too many of the fuckers here drive trucks that would crush both cars and keep going with a gentle bump... oh lord my Country is tragic...

I have bits and pieces of older memories but my first "true" memory where I remember everything vividly was 9/11. So yeah... Fun
