The path we are going is just doubling down on that future. Even if transitioning and slowing our impacts won’t fix things, it could help slow the changes down to a more manageable pace. Doubling down on burning more oil, and overall more consumption, could increase the rate the climate is changing at. It could overwhelm garbage and recycling capacity (this is already true in many places or sectors).
Also access to shaving products and accessories is getting easier. Hand held electric razors are getting smaller and can do a lot of the work before a blade makes a smooth finish.
That said, as a male i hate shaving my privates smooth. I find the hair acts as a natural lubricant, without hair everything either gets sticky or feels slimy down there.
Both times I’ve ever been pulled over for speeding the road was empty except me and i was going the average speed people drive on them. 3 people doing 20 over, a cop can shrug and say i don’t wanna pick one to ticket. A single car not only sticks out as speeding more easily, but there also isn’t much of an excuse for the cop not to pull them over.
Counter intuitively, its easier to get away with speeding when the roads are busy because you blend in. The biggest things you want to avoid when speeding and busy is agressive behaviors and frequent passing. Make it seem more casual and you will blend in with the flow of traffic.
But doing 55 in a 65 isn’t unreasonable, and 95 is pretty fast and at that speed handling can become difficult on cheap or poorly maintained cars.
There are also conditions where 30 is what you’ll do on a highway if its a blizzard and you’re stuck behind a plow truck.
Certainly cheaper than paying for a police cruiser and all their equipment and wages. Its also less likely for the camera to be racist, be bribed, or shoot someone.
Cars are so common and speeding ignored for long we’d probably need at least double the amount of cops to enfroce traffic if we got rid of red light and speeding cameras.
It honestly frustrates me so much with the speed limit thing. On a societal level, speed (and differences in speed) tend to be one of the biggest factors in car crashes, so ignoring speeding is just accepting more dangerous roads.
On a peronal level, i try to do the limit or maybe 5-10 over (20 over is the norm in my area, even in school zones). The really frustrating part is as soon as i act like everyone else a try to do 20 over i get a ticket and my insurance goes up. This is frustrating becauae it just feels as if I’m being punished for doing what most people consider to be “safe” and normal. If it was drastically obvious that 20 over is faster than the flow of the traffic, it would feel a lot less frustrating if i get a ticket.
It can actually feel dangerous doing the limit on roads notoriois for 20-30 over. People agressively pass, tailgate and cut you off. Its fucked up but you get more dirty looks for doing the limit than you do for doing 40 over the limit. I think part of this is the north american attitude of cars being an extension of yourself. Someone doing 40 over is both couragous enough to go that fast, and also wealthy enough to own something faster and wealthy enough to afford the ticket, or at least that seems like the trend.
There are also weather conditions that reduce air flow, sometimes for days at a time, where very little wind blows and a bubble of air keeps a lot of the pollution over the city.
Having water with me/beside me seems to help me a lot. Theres no oh I’m thirsty i better stop and buy water or go get water, i always try to have some so as soon as a little bit of thirst hits i can drink it right away. Otherwise i find myself saying oh I’ll go get water in 5 minutes, and 3 hours later still not got any water.
They didn’t flat out ban vapes, they banned disposable vapes. You can still get the refillable vapes and e-juice for them.
Its like a single use bag ban. You can still bring your reusable bag to the store and use it, they won’t be giving you any dispoable bags though.
Both reasons are valid. Reducing nicotine use and reducing hazardous waste that is difficult to recycle.
I drink beers out of cans/bottles while showering regularly. The amount of water that gets into the can/bottle is neglible.
Nah they really mess with you. You’re tortured most of the time except those times they clean you up, get you tipsy and send you with the honey pot. Rinse and repeat everyday until one of the methods breaks you or the honey pot falls for you for real and plans an escape.
