Great, that’s just great

That’s really sweet, I’m glad that I clicked through to read the article.

Wish there was something like this where I live even if it wasn’t volunteer run

I hate grass, I hate mowing it and the free time that eats. Its useless

I’m slowly deleting patches by installing garden beds and pathways with things that are useful to me and wildlife and don’t need constant maintenance.

My dream is to strip off the top layer of most of the yard and put down some grasses that don’t grow above 4-6 inches and other ground cover between my garden beds.

Holy hell, thank you for posting that

I’ve never seen that one before. My sides hurt

China has an entire globe for a market. Us Yanks rely on china as our main supplier for nearly everything, because ‘made in America’ prices are unrealistic to compete with

Yeah who needs eggs anyway!

No eggs for anybody!

There’s a Nicole community now?

Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair

I wasn’t going to ask for shoeless foot pics because that feels weird, but thanks for doing so. Curiosity sated.

To be honest, the best thing as a beginner is to use what you have already, even if it’s not optimal. Not to save money or any idealistic reason, but because it lets you bridge that gap between thinking you need something and knowing you need something.

At least that advice was helpful to me when I started because I’m the over planning type of person. Starting off on day hikes with my city laptop backpack and metal water bottle and my cheap headlamp for power outages and so on helped me to go through the motions and gave me a much clearer picture of the kind of gear I needed and would actually use.

The things I turned out loving the most once I upgraded was a comfortable lightweight daypack(deuter speedlite 25), good trail runners that were comfortable right out of the box(brooks cascadias), and lightweight aluminum poles(fizen compacts)
