For a few regions such a smoky mountains you need permits ($30-$60 depending on region, but you need a few for the entire journey)

The main category you’re missing is just food & fuel. Even for just hardtack (which is in the ‘survival’ range not ‘comfort’), 3000 calories of flour costs about $1 according to google. Across 6 months on the trail that’s $180 for the flour, plus another $200+ for the fuel. But more realistically you will want some fruits and veggies and meats and so on. Which pumps it up to $1k for the trip even while also eating a lot of hard tack.

I mean, in theory, I think you’re right. But while a $200 build out is possible & miserable, a $2000 build out can be something actually enjoyable.

Also, you should always keep some escape money in case you get injured and need a hotel for a night or two. Even for things like hard tack, while technically possible I guess, you would still need some mechanism to make hard tack at scale. I would not encourage this option for people that aren’t able to dedicate $3k-$5k for all gear/food/permits/hotels/etc.

Ok I know this really isn’t what you’re after, but have you considered taking 6 months to hike a long distance trail such as the AT or PCT? It only costs a few thousand for all the gear and permits and gets you out on your own for a good many months. Along the way you will develop survival and social skills which may find you in a better paying job. And for your dickhead brother, you could brag about that journey.

• Hydrate
• Eat
• A meditative exercise where you lay still and imagine your toes being pulled down. Like as if gravity got 10x heavier at your toes pushing them down. Then your fee, ankles, knees, legs, etc. up to your head. It should last 3-5 minutes and at worst it’s very calming

Online surveillance and other enshitification is becoming so rampant and apparent, I think it’s actually pushing people offline. Maybe it’s just my bubble but I’m seeing way more earnest effort from others to meet IRL for various activities.

Yes. Normies and non-normies alike have used Reddit as a goldmine for reviews & advice on niche products. Because it was generally real people giving real advice, and bullshit ads were downvoted.

This will incentivize abusive behavior and lead to it no longer functioning as a place you can reasonably expect real people/

Ok but they didn’t do that they explicitly asked for news from a Lemmy user

Removed by mod

She was handling duties that she could to the pilot could focus on reading the relevant gauges and taking action. Her job was to manage comms, which is why you hear her on the tape.

You can be a victim of an accident.

As dark as this situation is I did laugh a bit when the following day I saw a new headline stating there were no survivors.

Like… no kidding?

Basically just accusing her of being a DEI hire.

I don’t interpret their comment to imply the other pilot didn’t understand, just that her role was to manage the ATC communications which… is exactly what you agree with? The other pilot’s duty wasn’t to interpret the ATC guidance but to take action.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut and reread before yelling at people.

You would care less about the pilot if he was a contractor?

I feel bad for the pilots and kids and the nanny.

This is what I’m hearing as well. From slightly (but not extremely) informed sources.

Discussing polling data does not imply people shouldn’t vote nutter

Ok and zero % chance he escalates wars to a point that there is backlash in a way that affects US citizens? cyber wars, etc?
