>reasonably paying blue collar jobs
As a disclaimer, I'm not from the US and my sources might be entirely biased but I thought a big chunk of amazon employees were ill paid and on foodstamps?
I believe there's a fairly comprehensive report on the Bayraktar TB2 and its use on this blog [oryxspioenkop.com]. You might want to check out popular front on instagram as well
Entirely agreed, I also lived from tourism in a european city and it's miserable. Also, living near a tourist destination is awful just for the sheer amount of people going in and out. Massified tourism is really not that great as people make it out to be
>Worse than that still, imagine one of your affiliates is stupid enough to target inside Russia. You need to keep the Russians happy or all of a sudden trial or extradition become likely outcomes.
I heard (and it might be just people making stuff up) that if you had cyrilic anything in your PC some ransomware would avoid you entirely, now, that's probably false but I am interested in knowing how would they avoid infecting russian computers.
This makes me think of metro 2033 so bad, even to the dark post soviet bunker and admitedly cannibalistic feeling. I wonder what could have happened if a queen ant was introduced to the colony as a sort of experiment
While I am by no means a historian, wouldn't a "comet strike" in a gunpowder factory be a great way for the Mings to loose the mandate of heaven? Perhaps there's a political angle we should consider on this occasion as well
Doesn't congress make a law saying breaking x regulation carries y penalty and at the same time gives the agency power to decide what constitutes breaking x? I know for a fact that BATFE does this rather frequently.
Also, thanks for the clarification about the secrecy of US mail. I apreciate it
>judicial system for administering discipline
while I don't agree entirely with you, this is something I would love to see implemented. The disciplinary measures usually taken in schools are never consistent and always done in a case to case basis so, I never thought they could ever be fair
I really would like to see what was the legal reason behind that, I know the US has issues with gov't agencies using their opinions as law but I thought mail was constitutionally protected?
I wholeheartedly agree with you, this is very frequent in my country where, about two thirds of the women I know do some kind of university career without actual job prospects because of some preconceived notion that it will give them an employment as soon they graduate. Most of them started around 2019 and now face an uncertain future because of the economical consequences of the pandemic affecting their parents, which are almost always their main source of economical support. The widespread rejection of regular, "not educated" jobs (I think you could say blue collar?) is creating this university diploma inflation effect that will probably pop in the next five to ten years
I also do believe that one of the main things that allow people to get into university is the support of middle class parents who wish their sons achieve anything in higher educaction because of a preconceived notion about the relationship between employability and a university diploma.
Sure! First of all, thanks for saying I am proficient in english, it's something I am a bit insecure and always try to hide that english is a second language to me. I also must clarify that I am extremely fortunate to have parents that were both polyglots so language learning was kind of a given in my household, specially english. Right now, I am working in my second year in a big consultancy firm doing nearshore web development for a big healthcare provider in the US. Although right now I am working as a tester, my school taught us how to do (nearly) fullstack development, so I have been rotating duties in my work, ranging from normal, run of the mill web dev to backend in nodeJS and a bit of cosmosDB. I did learn a lot of stuff for myself before going to trade school but I did learn the basics of working in a development team while doing my third year thesis, which simulates the design, production and release of a real world, fullstack application with an actual use case.
I believe that in the western world, specially in the countries that have free (or subsidized) universities there has been a lot of societal pressure that makes young people want to go to college but no idea why or for what.
Now, one of the smartest decisions I made was going for the sort of equivalent of a trade school in my country, it's not a replacement of college but an alternative for what I believe americans call High School, so three years from fifteen to eighteen years old and I truly believe that the rest of the world would benefit massively from such a concept. I also believe we should stop viewing the preparation for university as universal and provide young people with a trade from the beginning.
(edit) thanks martzy13 for your comment about vocational schools, I didn't know about them
There are some serious issues with FDA approval,for example the potential conflict of interest with pharmaceutical companies providing funding to the same entity approving their drugs
I don't see how the gov't respond to an economical crisis has anything to do with modern authoritarianism. Regulation without oversight and checks and balances does lead to tiranny, more often than it doesn't
I agree entirely, the narrative that people should be entirely interested/dedicated to their work has been promoted by businesses for a long time, despite being entirely detached by the reality of those who work full time
Hi! I have a small 49cc kit too and never had an issue with fumes? Perhaps your oil mix is wrong? The one on the manual is way worse than using 40:1, perhaps you could try it if you get a chance. About the clutch issue, it sounds like you need some to make some changes to the flower nut maybe? I can start my bike without pedalling if I kick the floor to get some momentum.
I do, here they require no registration at all and they are considerably cheaper than ebikes. Also, I stated earlier that I don't feel entirely comfortable with the implications of lithium mining so I do try to minimize that as much as I can.
I'm sorry, but I'd rather use a two stroke kit than dealing with all the ethical concerns of (for instance) the lithium batteries on ebikes. Also, when using the stock muffler and a right oil mix they are absolutely not smelly or loud. An argument could be made for the respiratory system, but I don't see how would that be an issue when these are used outdoors
I mean, they shouldn't use the bike lane. I agree with you.
But, here's the thing. If they are not modified they are very quiet, noise codes should be enforced, but asking for their property to be pretty much stolen isn't a bit much?
>car drivers don’t expect you to be going that fast and as a result aren’t wired to look for you
That's why I use hi vis jackets and reflective motorcycle helmets. I am not going like a run of the mill bicylist.
I use all terrain tires, I never had an issue and I am certainly not the only one that uses motorized bikes like this, in Argentina and Brazil for example, there are lots of people using them daily for their commute and nothing really happens.
>If you do happen to get off at 60 km/h you will have road rash that will take off large chunks of skin even if you wear an armored jacket and armored gloves
Wouldn't that happen with a motorcycle too? I don't see your point
I wouldn't worry too much, I have routinely done about 50-60 km/h on a motorized bike and had 0 issues. Always had the best disk brakes I could buy though.
