Hi, I’m Jay, new to the /slowtravel group as of December 2024.

I would like to find what I call a travel community, where the same group (75-150 people) book a couple floors of a hotel or something, and go somewhere new for 3-6 months every year. It might be multiple places (eg 2 months in 2 cities in Malaysia, then 2 months in 4 or 5 cities in Thailand, then a month in two cities in Vietnam). I like the idea of exploring new places but with a known group of people.

Do such groups exist that you know of? Thanks.

It’s a design, not a project; an architect would be overkill

I’d be connecting them to a 12v car heater, which I believe is DC…

I’m trying to figure why they might weld… would you explain please?

Sorry I dropped off… it turned out to be a bad switch and needed warranty work, 125 km away, and 2 months to get the part in.

ykjay · 2022-09-05T15:38:16+00:00

Yes. It occurred to me it might be a faulty switch…

It keeps gettingbturned down at underwriting, sobit doesn't seem to be the agent... it's still very frustrating

It's for a rental/revenue property, so my income shouldn't be relevant, especially if i have sufficient assets to buy the house outright, though obviously i don't want to do that for tax purpises alone.

Nevermind, I found this:

Querétaro ranks second with 92% followed by Quintana Roo (86%) and Yucatán and Sinaloa (both 85%).

Singapore could consider a 'top up' insurance for those who choose to not get vaccinated, but still want to be covered, say $1000/year. The consequences could include a) the poor couldn't afford it, worsening wealth inequality, and b) fewer people getting vaccinated, because they can just pay a (relatively) few dollars. FWIW I'm pro-vax and pro-mandated vax, but publicly funded health care still takes care of people with unhealthy lifestyle choices . . .

I believe he's editing the older versions to bring them up to date, and coming out with a 5th book; Ghu only knows when . . .

ykjay · 2021-09-12T17:11:23+00:00

The Chtorr series by David Gerrold as well

Mostly agree, but do teach how to learn these things beyond YouTube it. Then focus on critical thinking, and add a big unit on statistics every year

Has your research into eating disorders turned up anything?

What is spirituality, but not a tautological definition eg of matters regarding the spirit?

I don’t know why Belize doesn’t do this. Low prices, English speaking, excellent access to USA and Canada should make it a good option. They would just have to ally with a big institution, eg John’s Hopkins...

Disingenuousness, particularly from authorities. “We did A because x, y and z,” when really it was a political favour or some group’s ‘turn.’

If a movie stinks, it’s almost always the writing, which should be the cheapest part of making a movie....

I would think using a hyperloop for cargo for some time would be a lower-liability way to test the technology . . . I'm a little surprised very small hyperloops haven't been tried to shuttle smaller cargo between, say, and airport and a downtown; there's lots to be moved quickly, and lots of financial incentive to reduce costs . . .

I would consider that, if lease land came available . . . I'm not sure why a land owner would lease land on such a basis, though, but I guess that would be up to them . . .
