half a liter of espresso, 3 cigarettes and 70mg of amphetamines.

I wish I was joking.

Relax, I don't even own a car.

Holy shit, mine does that too. It's how we got her, we went to the shelter to pick one and when we entered the cage with all the cats in it, she jumped on my shoulders.

Oh, it definitely is.

I tried to keep her off my stuff in the beginning. But she's more stubborn than I am, and keeps trying again, for hours and days if necessary. At some point I just gave up.
Now, when she wants to sit down on the keyboard, I quickly lock it and accept that it's time for a break and some scritches.

My cat managed to crash a fresh install of Debian Stable to an unrecoverable state, just by walking across the keyboard.
I had to reinstall, but of course she still got treats for doing such a good job as software tester.

Cat tax

If you buy a Chinese car that has American tariffs placed on it, the only loser is you. China and USA both benefit.

But if that car is still the cheapest EV I can buy, then everybody wins?

I'm lucky to live in a country where sleeping outside is easily possible, safe, and legal, and it's always possible to hop on a train back if things don't work out. I'm doing this on easy mode.
If that isn't the case for you, either try to lodge with an aquaintance within cycling range, or look for a campsite in advance.
Even without much training, it's easily possible to cover 100km / 60 miles in a day on flat ground, if your bike fits you. Cycling clothes also help a lot.

I tried GTA Online once, thinking I could just cruise around and have some fun.
Within 2 minutes I was killed by some dude in a flying motorcycle rocket launcher thingy.
He then proceeded to spawn-camp me and kill me every time I came back.
Haven't logged on since.

Can someone explain to me the implications of China subsidizing a car, and the US putting tariffs on it?
Which country would benefit if I buy it?

Is that a question!

It doesn't even need to be an epic month-long adventure.

At the beginning of the month I felt like I needed a short break from the day-to-day before winter is coming.
I packed a camping mat, sleeping bag, 2 water bottles, snacks, a change of clothes, and a few other little items.
Switched off my phone and just hopped on my bike.
I rode roughly north-east by the position of the sun, bought food and water when I needed it, and looked for a nice meadow when I was tired in the evening.
In just one long weekend I had crossed half of Germany, and reached the sea.

It was one of the most liberating feelings ever.

That's the neat part, you're not supposed to smoke at all.
They can't ban cigarettes outright, yet. But they can make sure it isn't publicly visible, cool, or easy to do anymore.
Smokers are supposed to be forced into enclosed, limited rooms just for smoking, separating it from all other activities.
The goal is to break the cycle that gets young people to start smoking.
