Your local bike store should have a nice selection. I use my EV bike all the time and the car I keep for those few trips where the bike doesn’t work just sits… You should too. Don’t forget to check out the local transit options (and if - as is likely - they are bad demand better)

Which is true only in the rare case you only have one office that everyone is in. As soom as you don’t have everyone in the same room teams is better. So once you have more than 50 people

They hope to scare enough people to get a change. don’t let it work.

Only if there is a monoboly in place. If there is a market then when they raise rents you just go elsewhere. Since these are items rented by the day it isn’t hard to go elslwhere in the city.

drive the retail areas of town and look for the rental signs. yellow pages. They want to be found by locals so look in the places locals might. hardware stores either rent stuff or will tell you if you ask.

I wish I knew. So far I haven’t seen one that works. It is despirataly needed.

There are pros and cons to both. Sometimes you should rent, others buy. If you use it every day then buying is often best. If you need it once a decade then rent.

There always have been some around. Not all diy stores have one but there is always one near from what I’ve seen. People keep discovering them and thinking they are new.

The problem is other platforms exist. not jst social media, but daycare dropoff or coffee shops.

We need ways to counter them. If nobody counters when they warn about whatever made up junk they have someone else will believe them. I don’t know how to country them though - it is harder than you might think. There have been a couple real conspiracies in history and if they accuse you of being in one how do you prove you are not?

I don’t think these reach any refinery so that isn’t an option. What is best is anything that sows confusion.

I have needed a new phone every 2 for the last 6 years because my old one physically broke. Battery might be good, but the screen is cracked: new phone. My last phone quit recognizing the SIM, and so new phone it is. In theory I can buy the parts to repair the phone, but in practice either the parts are obsolete and not stocked, or I can get them special order from China if I’m willing to wait weeks and pay half the price of a new phone. Then hope I actually manage to get the phone together again.

I live in the US where we use many weird by world standards frequencies. I’ve looked into various repairable phones, (fair phone, pine phone), but I quickly realize I often travel in parts of the US where they won’t work. Thus I’m stuck with what my carrier offers. (Apple might be more repairable, but apparently more locked down)

The US (and other European partners) is sending BOTH ATACMS for missile launch sites, and also PATRIOT for targeting incoming missiles. Two different systems for a different purpose and Ukraine is getting both.

We know from many sources that North Korea is supplying Russia with missiles. We also know Russia is using missiles on Civilians. Do we really need any second source to connect the two?

One side? Both sides are doing this. The details are different, but both sides are being evil here.

Farmers do buy fertilizer. The concern is how that fertilizer is produced.

Err, yeah. Not a mineral but an element. my mistake

it leaves the field with the food we take off. from there it ends up in landfills and sewer systems. None go back toethe field.

Potasium is a mineral. When it is gone it is gone. Nitrogen is replenishable, but minerals need to be brought back some other way.

I’m not saying give up. There are answers, just not easyones.
