I think I was in my 20s when I realized that some people/kids actually believe in Santa. I was aware of Christmas/Santa, but that it was just a story nobody thought was real. At least I wasn’t the girl I met about that time who was telling her friends in first grade that Santa wasn’t real.
I belong to of those rare Christian sects that don’t believe in Christmas.

before the train you could not feed a city without water transport. Your transport power would eat more food than it could deliver
The exhaust could be a problem but this is clearly the transmission which should noteget that hot. Fire investigators traced the fire to hot transmission fluid leaking from seals that failed because of temperature.
depends on size but larger trailers and a gas engine will do far worse than half. That is why semis are diesel. My diesel truck is 18mpg unloaded but max towing drops down to 12. A ford f150 would get 20-25 unloaded but towing could get around 8.
you are talking about much smaller trailers than what I’m thinking about above so you will do better but I don’t know how much.
Just get a tent if you must camp. the nice ones are still only 100lbs and will pack in your suv. Throw in a camp stove and cooler and you get most of what you want.
don’t forget about hotels. The savings in fuel will buy a mid grade hotel room every night, often with money left over for a meal. RVs only make sense if you are staying in one place for a week for each day of travel.
There are still suvs that are trucks with a different body. They are all big though. The small ones are unibody because for most uses that is better but towing is one where it is worse.
I knew a guy who bought a small truck (30 years ago) and towed well over rated weight, he got where he was going 200 miles down the road and when he parked over some weeds they started on fire from his overheated transmission, truck was totaled - manufecture denighed warranty coverage and is insurance refused to cover it. they were making payments for a while an a truck that was scrapped.
If by bots you mean computer programs or AI, they are not people and should be ignored/blocked. If you mean (as seems to be common) people with a different opinion, then you need to be more careful lest you get the faults of an echo chamber.
You are both right and wrong there.
You need different opinions in your life, otherwise your echo chamber will tend to move to more extremist. Pretty soon you think those “others” are evil and so you are willing for anti-democracy coups by your side, or to fight wars to kill those infidels or other evil things. You need a steady input of other opinions to remind yourself that reasonable people can disagree and that is okay.
Also sometimes you are wrong. Few people have the guts to read a well reasoned opinion and admit they are wrong, but it is one you should be willing for.
Of course there is far more possible opinions than you have time to read. So eventually you have to say I don’t have time to deal with this subject and shut it out. So long as you avoid the problems of an echo chamber they are fine. Be aware of them though and make sure you are not falling into those traps anytime you shut something out.
A friend with a good set of tools. Who you can trade labor with. Many car tasks need 2 people so if you can hang out with someone else working on their car and they return the favor you are greatly ahead. Not only that but you will teach each other (well at the start that person will teach you - do plenty of work to pay them for their effort to teach you).
After that tool do you need for the current job that either your friend doesn’t have or you use so often it is worth having your own. Every car has its own set of special tools that are not used for any other car you will ever have but you need it to do some job. You will need several torque wrenches as they have different ranges, but you won’t need them all for the first project.
Better than the Haynes manual, buy the factory service manual - they are generally $200 or so, but they are so much better than Haynes that it is worth the cost.
Good companies also know who is generating value and ensure they won’t leave.
Note that I specified GOOD there. A lot of companies are not good.
Good companies will notice and ensure you get a larger raise.
Finding a good company is a hard problem though.
The politics is very left wing and very unwelcoming to any other viewpoint.
It was implied
I said check out his book, not follow his patterns. There are some great ideas in this build, but also some things Gingery did better - and since Gingery explained why he did a lot of things like he did you will likely in turn be able to adapt the good ideas to this build. The way Gingery does the head stock is much better than this cast in place option for example. Combine the two and you will get better results.
BTW, if you are serious about building a lathe I’d recommend epoxy-granite not concrete or castings. Something more to research before building (or maybe just stop someplace and build - your choice)
Nice, but be sure to check out the Gingery lathe (and the whole series) before building - Gingery did a few things that would improve this if done. (and this does a few things that would improve what Gingery did)
Extreme ironing. I don’t see the point of dragging a board and iron anywhere. Even at home I’d rather wear wrinkles than open that board. (which is why I buy perminant press church clothes)
I’m going to wait and see - there are always unintended consequences and sometime those are bad enough to kill and otherwise good idea. Other times they mean you need to tweak with the simple program to make it work. And as always politicians will have their hand in the whole thing and might completely mess up the implementation until it looks nothing like the name.
