I feel I have a lot of energy to do a lot of things this year
I know planning is important but I don't know how?
Can you help about anything ?
Thanks in advance
I couldn't think of anything funny to say so I just laughed at myself instead...
Interesting question - Whats the most popular car + colour in your area @motosubatsu IT has to be a specific car that you always see in the same colour.
@Twyxz Oh, in America, they don't refuse treatment, you just get hit with a mammoth bill, which is then negotiated down to just an obscene one, where you get to pay over time.
@motosubatsu Yeah, I got an 800 dollar bill for them showing up to take my sugar and blood pressure.
What's sad is in the UK we have the NHS. It's abused by alcoholics and druggies. They waste time and money for people who need it. Then you have people who complain about it not being good enough and "We pay taxes for this". Well how about you pay taxes and pay for your healthcare. These people can't even afford to live nevermind healthcare and they complain about possibly the best free service we have
@Twyxz the danger there, of course, is for people who have very expensive, chronic conditions. The druggies and drunks drain the system, but it's the autistics, the people with downs syndrome, the blind, deaf, and infirm that pay the price. Same holds true here, BTW
the 500 is the only model to be really popular over here - and while it's actually a decent enough little car they were mainly bought for fashion reasons
@motosubatsu we went through that about five years ago here. Right now, the fashion accessory is the "Prius". It's the in-vogue way for our virtue-signaling wealthy to demonstrate that they care about the environment buy purchasing a car that actually causes more pollution than a standard automobile.
It's so bad with the Prius, they're being mockingly called the "Pious"
Yes, let's use lithium batteries for everything. Pay no mind that you pit-mine lithium like you do copper, and that the tailings are second only to Uranium tailings in terms of toxicity.
I wonder how many times I've rep-capped. I know I made legendary a while ago.
I recall pulling out into a gap on the Interstate and putting my foot down
and waiting
...and waiting...
..and waiting
by the time the damn thing woke up and remembered to downshift I had a very large truck a few inches off my rear bumper (fender) and the driver looked like he might be contemplating vehicular homicide
to cap it off our gear wouldn't fit in the damn thing so it went back to the rental desk the next day
replaced it with a Jeep Liberty - that was quite a nice bit of kit as I recall
@motosubatsu yes, big enough for me, my lunch, and three friends if I wanted
When I left for college, I was able to pack all of my clothes, my refridgerator, my computer, books, lamps, milk crates... anything I needed, and still had room left
@motosubatsu I wouldn't hazard a trip down your roads... then again, that seems a bit hypocritical on my part, as I am in NJ, and you take your life in your hands driving on them.
@motosubatsu one thing visitors from Europe don't tend to grasp when they come here is just how big the USA is, esp some of the states in the Midwest where you can drive for hours without meeting another car on the road
@RichardU very true.. and the converse is also true - I've had friends from your side of the pond come to visit and they couldn't comprehend how closely packed everything is
@motosubatsu Oh yes, and the layouts are far different as well. Over here, the zoning is very strict, so there are very few places where there are corner shops, and very few flats above stores except in the older cities.
@RichardU our usage rules are very strict - but operate on a more granular level, partly because of things that predate any such rules and partly because we simply don't have as much space
trying to build something on undeveloped land has a million and one rules and hurdles to overcome
and "change of use" is a nightmare to get
we also have the hilarious planning permission system - I looked at changing the roof of my extension from flat to slanted, if the new profile went above the old one (even by so much as a centimetre) I needed planning permission, which not only means I'd have to satisfy the council, building regs and all that but also hope none of my neighbours objected
@motosubatsu our rules vary wildly from state to state, city to city, and municipality to municipality. In some states, you can get something built in less time than it takes just to secure the permits in other states, sometimes measured in YEARS
If you want to take a proactive approach, you need to make physical health easy.
Convince the higher ups to:
Have company wide healthy breakfasts or lunches occasionally (once a month is enough)
Have a gym available any time for employees, or alternatively, offer gym memberships or discounts f...
So rarely do you find a concise encapsulation of the sort of company you'd never want to work at
