I know this is just a joke, but you should be dressed for the weather outside/have extra clothes and blankets in the car. Just in case your heat dies in the car, you run out of gas, get stranded/stuck.

Many of my local stores are using red maple leafs and changing the barcode names to indicate Canadian made products.

Some cities allow trains to refrain from horns within city limits and instead the barrier makes a more localized dinging. I live near a major rail interchange and they rarely every honk their horns, oftenly only using a short warning horn if needed.

When I lived rurally trains with horns were far more common. On a human note I’d rather hear a train horn occasionally than hear constant traffic noise. I get how thats harder to manage with a dog but perhaps consistent training could lessen their response to horns.

This sounds more like a freight train. Many modern light commuter trains are quieter than an average SUV. The rail line could also have sound barriers installed if noise is still an issue.

this link goes into light detail of how laws were written and enforced in ancient times, starting with tribal or clan based blood fueds and eventually turning to a more societal run and funded system.

The romans had engineers and fire fighting crews. Nearly every society has had some kind of police/army/guard to enforce laws. Farmers actually opened the door to most other jobs/careers because people didn’t have to rely on themselves to grow or collect their own food which left more time to become an engineer, learn math, become a salesman or any other job that could be filled.

Having water with me/beside me seems to help me a lot. Theres no oh I’m thirsty i better stop and buy water or go get water, i always try to have some so as soon as a little bit of thirst hits i can drink it right away. Otherwise i find myself saying oh I’ll go get water in 5 minutes, and 3 hours later still not got any water.

There often is a button or too within the dash cluster to change things like the trip meter or cluster brightness

I’d honestly still prefer 10 hours a day system over no change at all. Although my view is biased and flawed as i work trades and my hours are very inconsistent. 55-60 hours a week is common and honestly an even 40 hours would feel like a break to me. I’ve cosidered if i could get my employer on board with 10 hours 3-4 days a week in the future after ive bought and paid for a house.

Germany is not the only country trying 4 day work weeks. Other countries trying and normalizing a 4 day work week include Belgium, Iceland, and France.

I had a very strange feeling reading this article alone and on my phone. Overall a very interesting read. It helps explain some of the minor decisions I’ll make in life, like always choosing a checkout with a cashier regardless of the length of the line. Sometimes I converse with the cashier or someone in line and it does slightly improve my mood in a way thats difficult to explain.

I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these!!!

Ive heard of an upcoming popeye horror spoof where popeye is haunting an abandoned spinach canning factory or something.

They didn’t flat out ban vapes, they banned disposable vapes. You can still get the refillable vapes and e-juice for them.

Its like a single use bag ban. You can still bring your reusable bag to the store and use it, they won’t be giving you any dispoable bags though.

Both reasons are valid. Reducing nicotine use and reducing hazardous waste that is difficult to recycle.

I’d try to strip and clean any time I come home in that environment. Set up your entranceway so you can easily remove your clothes and shoes and put them in a bag or bin. Santitize the entranceway, wash your contaminated clothing, and wash yourself frequently.

I would wear long pants, ideally waterproof ones or at least thick enough to stop splashes from getting on your skin. You could also wear a mask while outside to help keep your fingers away from your mouth and nose.

I imagine it tastes like sand but spicy

No one has ever offered to play battle shits with you?

This group will also fight tooth and nail by lobbying, hiding assets, and opening specific bank accounts to avoid paying as much taxes as possible.

It isn’t a conspiracy to enact it, several politicians with the power to influence policy have said they will implement it. This isn’t some secret document conspiracy theorists are blowing up, this is real policy guidelines.
