If you are on a budget, camp in whatever vehicle you already own. I lived in a small car with my wife and cat for several months as we were moving. Learned a ton from “Cheap RV Living” on YouTube.
We had a solar generator with some panels, we cooked using electric skillet, had a twin bed, fairy lights use almost no power, and we had a 12v fridge. It wasn’t that bad but we eventually found a super cheap RV and live in that now.
So if you vote against him, you lose citizenship and he gets 100% of the votes?
Sad thing is the car only haas about 60,000 miles and the clutch bearing died about a month ago. Wasted $2,000 to have a new clutch installed because I’m on raw land and i have not built my garage yet.
Once I build my garage I plan to have a concrete pad poured so I can add a car lift. Might be a few years until I can work on this car and it’s our only car at the moment and I live in the middle of nowhere.
But good news I did buy a pickup truck on Tuesday, they are mailing the keys, title, bill of sale. So hopefully by next week we have another vehicle to drive around here. Sadly the owner died, but that’s how I got a great price on it.
Rich people also get handed so many free things.
Put over $100,000 in the bank and they will throw free accounts, low interest credit cards, rewards, free safety deposit boxes, personal concierge services. And that’s just the start.
1st works fine. I didn’t force it, just shifted like normal, and knew something was wrong when there was a grinding noise. Hopefully we don’t have to push it. I once owned a stick shift car that the starter didn’t work, we had to push start it each time lol at least until I change the starter.
Just earlier I was reading about this website hosted on solar power and the extremes they went through to get the website to be simple so very little data is transmitted to save precious watts.

It’s been quite the downer lol running errands and parking in ways I can get out ha. My wife keeps saying at least the car didnt leave us stranded, and we can still go out. We live in the middle of nowhere.
Yesterday I didn’t sleep, it was hot and couldn’t sleep.
Got up at 4am, went to work, ran errands. Then as I was driving I put the car in reverse in the freeway instead of 6th gear. What the fuck. Grinding noise.
Turns out the car no longer goes in reverse. I believe I bent the teeth in the synchro gears. Fuuuu, need to pull the transmission and take it all apart. I don’t even have concrete or anything yet. I have lived here 6 months on raw land. I guess for the next few years I need to push the car if I get stuck lol
I plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.
But Elon shut off Starlink to Ukraine at the worst time… he can do it to you too.
How soon until the first accident? (No LiDAR and all that)
I was fine with pre-roll ads and mid roll ads. Then YouTube became ultra greedy during Covid when tons of people watching, they went from 1-3 ads per video to 30 ads for a 30 minute video (2 ads every 2 minutes). What the fuck.
I installed adblocker because they did that. YouTube was not watchable at all. Sucks, because I didn’t mind supporting the platform and creator, but their greed ruined that.
I have been using a program called GPT4ALL and you can download many models and run them locally. They give you a prompt at boot if you want to share data or not. I select no and use it offline anyway.
