That’s because you’re thinking of trucks used first and foremost for heavy duty “truck stuff.” That is not the only market for trucks, at least in the US: https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-size-pickup-truck-you-need-a-cowboy-costume
According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.
0-60mph is mostly deprecated these days in favor of 0-62mph, which just so happens to be the same as 0-100km/h — what a coincidence!
VHCOL area (San Francisco) — “middle class” usually means household income of 300k or so.
Here’s January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather — typically don’t run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.
South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:
We’re expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we’re just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.
If your baby isn’t super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I’ve jinxed the return flight…).
We haven’t done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe — some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks’ retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.
YMMV of course, but it’s absolutely doable! Kids — even starting as babies — have personalities, and you’ll get a sense of what’s appropriate with yours. Good luck!
Good point — it is “incrementally free,” although I guess if you count tire wear and tear that’s not even true.
Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).
Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).
“First X of the month” at the zoo/a museum/whatever — lots of venues have free events.
A jog, bike ride, hike — lots of great stuff outside!
You ever been to a city that’s not San Francisco?
Of course; my point was never that it’s a ubiquitous practice in the US, only that it definitely exists in places.
One that’s newer?
Sure (Seattle is newer, for instance), but that’s obviously not what you mean.
I think we’re talking about different types of cities — new, rural, small incorporated cities are certainly very different than “capital C” Cities. I’m guessing this is the real distinction that we’re talking about…
Plenty in the US, too — I’m in San Francisco and there are tons of mixed use buildings, in both “sharp” and well-off neighborhoods alike.
The bank doesn’t own the house, they just have a significant lien against it. Maybe a potato potato situation (how are you supposed to spell that phrase 🤔), but it is an important distinction.
Landlords can get pissed if you paint the walls/change appliances/remodel/etc., but so long as the property is properly insured (and you make your loan payments on time) the bank probably isn’t going to bother you.
Landlords can — and do — place restrictions on quiet hours, guest policy, who is allowed to live there, etc. Owning is definitely different.
With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.
Except that this problem doesn’t specify distance between horseman, so I think it’s a bit bogus — no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they’re there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn’t resolvable (a person being a “single pixel” would have a different hue depending).
Dipoles are, effectively, not — so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.
The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.
This is the real big brain hack with decibels — you can use a linear scale, it’s just that the units are logarithmic instead.
(Yes I know most people would call a dB axis logarithmic, it’s just a silly comment.)
My $4k piece of carbon and $3k hunk of titanium would like to have a word…
I would bet just about anything that the only reason profit margins could possibly be higher for a car is due to volume — which, if everyone rode bikes, wouldn’t be an issue at all.
Absolute profit, sure — cars are more expensive, so they’ll win out.
Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I’m probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules — anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don’t use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn’t be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).
I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.
Judging by the camera angle, OP may have been today years old when they learned this as well (I learned it well into my 30s, too).
I’m gonna try to guess the most likely LLM response to your post, trained on reddit data:
“This.”
How’d I do?
They specified 1 significant figure — at that level it’s the same.
