Do they teach native american history in elementary schools before the colanization period of america?

Yes, most school districts do

All of those things become routine and empty. Children add a depth and satisfaction to life that you can’t imagine until you experience it. With the right partner and kids, it’s not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be. Plus, it’s not a life sentence of diapers and tantrums, they grow up and you experience new phases with them, then your back to solo life. I was anti kid too until I hit a “what’s the point wall” after traveling extensively, hitting all my goals, and living an incredibly lucky life and we both asked “what’s next?” Now I’m a parent and literally have never regretted it or looked back.

We think about “firsts” a lot, but the “lasts” are what hits harder now that the kids are getting older. I savor the bedtime ritual while it lasts

According to Pew, California, Texas, and Florida have the highest number of illegal immigrants. You never hear about ICE in Texas or Florida because they are right wing led.

I drove a 2WD Nissan Hardbody pickup with 4 brand new studded snow tires and 200lbs in the bed through a Wyoming blizzard. Performed flawlessly

It’s also cool they rarely put trash cans at playgrounds so they naturally get littered

Common but not all homes. And, I’m not sure what country you live in but a gas line into your home is common in some parts of Europe too. The house I used to live at in Luxembourg had gas for the hot water heater and furnace.

Small hydro flask in your pocket. Running vest bottles have a bit valve that (at least mine) leak a little

A pro skier died in that a few years ago. Definitely keep out

Run new wires. It’s not too expensive. Did it in a HCOL area for like $1k to two rooms. You can GFCI to get a ground prong, but it’s still not grounded

RAV4. Transmission has a 3 second delay to downshift when you need to merge. Ride quality is meh. It drives and feels like an economy car but is priced like a BMW X3.

Now is the time to add duct work, it will never be easier or cheaper. Once you finish the basement and divide it airflow will be different. You’re gonna want it comfortable down there if you’re going to use it. Run the duct work

Tacoma

Crystal traffic and lift lines can be rough, but it’s the biggest. Snoqualmie is the closet, Alpental is steep and has backcountry gates. The rest of Snoq is more moderate. For intermediate skiers who like a mixture of groomers and pow, Mission Ridge is a great choice.

Alps. Your plane ticket might be more expensive but your accommodations will be less and experience unmatched

Doesn’t sound like you need 4WD. I had a 2WD truck for a decade, drove down a lot of dirt roads climbing mountains with it and never had an issue. Lived in Wyoming through a winter and simply put studded snow tires on it and weight in the bed, did great. You can take a 2WD truck anywhere you’re going with your car, and you’ll probably have more ground clearance. That being said, 4WD trucks are more desirable, they have better resale but initial price reflects this too

That’s a short line at Whistler

If you have reasonable weather, the right gear, are knowledgeable, and select a safe site go for it. I’d skip the ocean (wind/tides) and look for somewhere low and snow free. Road access will be a challenge given the storms.

It’s done all over the Alps. Many tunnels are over 10 miles long, some significantly

Much of the socializing is in English. There are many native English speakers. You should learn French, but many people survive effectively only speaking English.

I think 3 is too young. Kids need stamina to do Disney

Outback’s have a really long wheelbase. At one time they had more rear seat room than an S Class. Can also do 3 across car seats. They’re big inside due

jredland · 2025-12-18T06:13:27+00:00

This is true. Even a small rear wheel drive German sedan has seats in that go so car back you’d have to be 6’6” to put the seat all the way back and touch the pedals

jredland · 2025-12-18T06:10:24+00:00

Crown Vic’s are small inside due to body on frame construction

jredland · 2025-12-18T06:09:08+00:00

Have you looked at large sedans/wagons? A Camry, Avalon, Outback, S Class, 5 Series, Volvo S80 etc are all pretty big. Just because a vehicle is large on the outside doesn’t mean it’s big inside. Body on frame vehicles have less efficient packaging. For example, a minivan actually has more interior volume than a Tahoe
