I thought this was debunked as fear mongering?

+1 for vesper, very interesting world. I liked the story.

Unless the dude is saying only film should be admissible, which doesn’t sound all that bad.

If 1234 and 5678 don’t weigh the same youd need 4 seesaws in some cases

Then you don’t know cars as well as you say you do, because you can check for a whole lot more than that without pulling the engine lmao. Maybe stick to the dealership if you don’t feel like you can effectively evaluate it’s condition.

Learn about cars first and it isn’t a gamble.

Yaris ftw

Not for everybody. If you’re clever enough you can work around every item you listed though.

Look into trailers, campers, shed, tiny home, and military surplus tents. Be careful not to get too into the Instagram version of the “vanlife” lifestyle, it is trickier that it seems in the photos and IMO vans suck cos you don’t need engine problems on your home.

I lived in a camper trailer because I got it for the equivalent of 6 months rent and I knew if I lived in it any longer it would technically a net gain, and I was able to still sell it after. Two years in that thing with Midwest winters lmao.

If you are lucky, you can find a rural property sold as undeveloped with a very old or abandoned building that you’d be able to fix up. I would avoid the West, unless you have a foolproof water source.

We have the entire knowledge of the collective human history at our fingertips. People built shit by winging it for the majority of human history. You’d have been a god among men 200 years ago. Fuck some shit up. Fail fast and fail forward

1. Lower standards
2. Buy shitty small rural house built nearly 200 years ago
3. Spend any and all free time & money learning the skills & buying the tools to strip it down and rebuild it. All of it is online. Do it quietly and you won’t have to pull permits. Hold yourself to a higher standard than what a permit will allow and you’ll be fine.
4. Continue to invest in yourself and your skills. You will become a rich person if you do this, if not in money, then knowledge. The earlier you can do this, the more value will compound off of your skillset.

It’s not fun but it’s possible for myself, born 98. Got my little slice and the sunsets and stars are sure damn pretty out in the boonies. Gotta deal with the rednecks & general small mindedness though.

I could waste my time explaining or you could Google it. Long story short is that there are many ways to send information that don’t involve the internet at all, and you’d have to get a mid 90s car if you didn’t want any data sent at all. They got worse in around 2012 when more protocols were added as well

Nope, still a privacy nightmare

Sir, this is apple.

Gotta buy their apple 5 point screwdriver

Open back

Remove adhesive & battery

Dismount motherboard and keyboard

Find out it’s soldered ram

Ooh. Just read the first chapter as a free trial. Gonna hit up the library tomorrow!

Weirdly enough the windows 11 start menu has gotten better.

It is so sad we only got one season. That show was too ahead of its time, it would be an absolute hit if it came out today

It takes revenue away from a system that perpetuates it.

Martin Starr kicks ass

No, but it will help. Do you currently have a plan if you were unable to purchase food at the store?
