Love it!!!

I have accomplished some cool stuff, like i just recently got out of morbid obesity by following a diet, i got my English C1 certification and i’m learning Spanish and Mandarin with surprisingly good results. I have been studying stuff i’m interested in, mainly politics, philosophy, and most recently I’m getting more into maths and physics.

Holy shit that's awesome! You have lots of accomplishments to talk about :)

It's not boasting to be proud of your work and talk about it. It's OK to talk about yourself.

I suggest joining a club, going to events, or volunteer orgs as said in other comments. Examples: trail maintenance, rock climbing, hiking, sports, dance, improv, anything you're interested in already, think might be fun, or even seems adjacent to your interest but challenging. MAKE THE EFFORT AND GO OUT OF YOUR WAY FOR IT!

Try to be honestly interested in new people you meet. My favorite question is "Who are you?" because it forces them to think and it tends to build interest on asking the question in return.

We feel less like a loser when we make social connections with people we admire. Then when they want to hang out or talk it shows us that others see our value. You have to accept your circumstances, change what you want and are able to, and be vulnerable with others.

Maybe Ford did something crazy with their 2025 EVs? I was getting 300km of the stated 350... E18/E6 clear weather dry asphalt. So pretty ideal conditions other than cold.

The science is the range indicator can say a lower number when the battery is cold. But you get your range back once the battery heats up. Thermal management is really good on recent models. Doesn't really matter because it's rare to drive 300+km in a day even in the US.

It doesn't matter if you're driving 45min to work, your car was charged overnight and most workplaces offer charging.

No one cares when there's 3 fueling stations per mile and it only takes 5 minutes to refuel.

I certainly do at ~$12/gal.

Having driven electric vehicles in norway in the winter (-20C avg) i can safely inform you their range is not noticeably shortened, even blasting the heat.

Also my diesel which normally gets 50mpg drops to 20-25 when towing.

🤷

Maybe don't eat the slop the talking heads are paid to shovel into the trough.

The alarms and "safety features" on new cars are annoying af though. Driving my 2009 into the ground.

Hey it me!

Stockpile them for when your meds run out

It should be sorted with Plastics (Non-recyclable), they stopped making it with real glass years ago.

I trust Brady. I'm not sure how far he'll go, but when there's a there that needs getting to, i know he'll reluctantly take the first step when no one else will. It's a kind if courage and ethic were missing on capital hill. Real go-getter. Brady, because someone has to.

That TWA branded goes hard
