Legit how you get restaurant-style blackened crust. Make the crust thin and bake for 3 minutes
Yup, these guys just exploded here in Virginia this year. We cut down a tree of paradise that was COVERED in them. Whatever is being done to slow their spread isn't nearly enough.
The Backrooms
Sounds like somewhere near an ocean tbh
We got very lucky. A coworker was looking to get a bigger house when I started my job and we wantes to get out of an apartment. We didn't use a realtor and paid $170k for 1200 sqft and an acre. We're on the outskirts of a small college city so it's fairly quiet but close enough for a 15 minute walk downtown.
What has you so bent out of shape? We make use of it. It's not even my car, it's my wife's. I drive an electric moped to work most of the time and my sub-SUV the four months it's too cold. Would you rent a uhaul to go kayaking!? We drove 2.5 hours to my wife's parents for a long weekend (Juneteenth) and brought an inflatable bed, kayaks, paddle board, and we came home with their smoker (they're retiring and downsizing). Besides, it's a Ford Maverick that gets 36 mpg, it's not a massive gas guzzler.
Drive what works for you, but what we're doing is economical and no more environmentally unfriendly than any other car.
I'm sorry? We have an acre that we're converting from all grass to trees, shrubs, herbs, crops, and wildflowers.
Delivery of heavy things is costly you know. It simply comes down to: if you're making use of it, it's worth it overall. Our pickup was only 35k, same price as the Subaru we'd otherwise be buying. We're outdoorsy and we're converting our yard from grass to trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, so a pickup is getting its mileage. If you only need this stuff a few times a year then it's certainly not worth it. People have different needs.
Go to the garden store, buy 20 bags of mulch, sling them on the back, drive home. Or go to the drive-in theater and lay blankets in the back! Or put a kayak in the back and leave the tailgate down.
That's my use case anyway.
You can have it off and just use the "song search" on the top menu, but yeah. I assume it just keeps itself activated even if you disable it, they just try to be less blatant about catering to you.
Anecdotally, I've only had lime 2 instances of "google was definitely listening to show me this ad" in the 6 years I've had pixels, and I've seen just as many instances with other phone types. You truly have to go out of your way to avoid the surveillance.
