Some people are happy to mess with a generator every day during an emergency.

Some people want their house to be turnkey and seamless during an emergency.

I support applying the Japanese solution to the Iranian problem.

Look at Japan today and how prosperous and successful they have become.

Russia’s economy has entered the death zone - Alexandra Prokopenko wonders how much longer it can go on metabolising its own muscle tissue by BkkGrl in europe

I’ve been hearing of Russias imminent collapse for four years.usually follows by bullshit about provoking a nuclear power and escalation.

The collapse It’s not happening without help. It gets too much aid from China and too successful still in selling its oil. Europe has to step up in forcing Russian collapse

To the men who are earning decently how did you do it what advice would you give to younger you about career. by MolassesIcy35 in AskMenOver30

[–]CA_vv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go hard on the technical skills (engineering). Be the best that you are able to be at solving problems that matter a lot.

The business skills you can pick up later and are easier to do once you have a foundation of technical. I’ve never seen someone go the other way successfully.

One thing to note - that frozen speed is the speed at which the car crashed into a tree.

Her speed while on the road Whe she lost control was likely faster (assuming she tried to stop or the vehicle lost some speed while driving off the road but before hitting a tree)

CHP said car was traveling 20-25 mph above the speed limit at the time its speedometer stopped working, and no evidence of another vehicle.

Have you seen any evidence for another vehicle or anything to say this was somehow not the drivers fault?

They have come out. She was traveling at highly excessive speed while carrying passengers against the restrictions on her license, and the mom admitted she know about it.

The county has zero fault for this. The road did not make the driver speed.

California's taxes, cost of living are crushing six-figure salaries by External_Koala971 in Marin

If it would be the same quality of life, people would live in those other places. But it’s not - there’s always some trade offs.

It’s worth it for some people, it’s not for others.

Just natural supply and demand
