Where is Russia 2 miles from Alaska? It’s about 50ish miles. Last I checked, it’s also not a great place to start a ground invasion. The US could blow the shit out of that area of Alaska and nothing much would be missed.

So you don’t think you should be held accountable for the rules of the place you’re in and for trying to escape?

And how do people know that? How do they know you’re not pretending to not be a nutcase?

Do you understand that people can pretend to be kind, normal, etc as a way to sneak things in?

I’m sorry you had to go through these things, but you seem to lack some serious awareness of others.

Do you really think that the scale of the US invasion of Iraq would have been different if the NYT hadn’t posted that story?

The NYT mistakes caused hundreds of thousands of deaths that you say are genocide? Please enlighten me on how this is the case because it sounds a lot like hyperbole.

You seem to be just a pissed-off person who wants to lash out at things/people/organizations and think that if something isn’t perfectly aligned with your views, then it’s evil/bad/etc. I’d like to suggest stepping outside and taking a deep breath.

I don’t disagree with that at all, it’s a dumb vehicle no matter how you slice it and this debacle only furthers the proof. If it needs low rolling resistance, highway tires, then it’s just a street queen for elon fanboys.

Weight is actually a good thing in the snow. Too light of a vehicle and it’s hard to get any traction without something like tracks.

The struggling in the snow is most likely an issue of tires. If someone put some all terrain or ideally snow tires, I’m sure it’d do significantly better.

Rock climbing isn’t my thing, but I helped out today taking some pictures at one and wow… there are a lot of people at those. People need belayers and it just had a generally friendly atmosphere. Plus you get exercise. If I was in need of friends and liked rock climbing, I’d definitely be going there more often.

It’s always good to have a backup heat source if you live in a cold climate, but heat pumps have progressed a fair bit with running at lower ambient temperatures. Many manufacturers have models that can run down to, or below, 0°F. However, those models usually are a fair bit more costly, so it makes sense to evaluate how often it dips below the low ambient cutoff for the heat pump and the cost and type of your backup heat to determine the most economical route.

It’s technically not orange light bulbs they have to use, it’s a specific lamp style called ‘low pressure sodium’
