  • Dreamhost Is Terrible

    Dreamhost Is Terrible

    By Andrea M

    Never use Dreamhost as they are a nightmare webpage hosting service. First, they say they have low prices. For a tiny free trial time they are affordable then they jack prices ultra high. Then they claim you can transfer your webpage url to another service, but they will never do the transfer. Your new service will say “transfer failed” as Dreamhost says “transfer complete” never doing the move. The URL disappeared, and so you can’t restart. Dreamhost is where webpages go to be killed forever. I now see why linktree is so popular, and I am switching there now until I get a new page URL. It is super fun to make up new pages anyway so I am glad for an excuse to never use the death-page. My review is if you are considering moving there I hope Google warns you with this post to stay far away from their page killing nightmare service. #DreamHost Kills Pages

    I got pneumonia today, and had to go to the emergency room. Don’t wait too long to go to the hospital if you need it. I am going to use hand sanitizer every two seconds after this hassle. #2026 pneumonia visit

  • New Meetup

    New Meetup

    By Andrea M.

    The new Pokemon Go meetup group is here: https://discord.gg/KgaDbrmcf and here: https://cmpf.re/qpKF0y Note that this group is greatly an online group as many area people are busy with jobs, online, and in-person school in the area. I am super busy with all of these things most weekdays and weekends yet I like the meetings a couple of days a month. #2026PokemonGoParkMeetupChesterfieldVA

    Many thanks to the dog Bootsie for helping me visit the Pickleball court and bike 5 miles at the Pokemon Meetup today.

  • Arm Price

    Arm Price

    By Andrea Menzies

    Part of why I am not going to Saint Patrick’s Day events this weekend is the high gas prices. Here are some funny jokes I saw about it online. It is strangely comforting to know I am not the only person cancelling plans due to high gas prices.

  • Air Irony

    Air Irony

    By Andrea Menzies

    A bit of air and war irony today on the Internet. The government demands you have a clean car, but can fill the sky with pollution if they want it.

  • Electric Car Killed

    Electric Car Killed

    By Andrea Menzies

    There is a famous documentary called “Who Killed The Electric Car?” available on IMBD here: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0489037/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk plus is for sale on Amazon. I had to write many papers on this documentary in extension certificates classes at University. I made A grades on the paper, and in the classes. The famous documentary makes the point that the conflicts and wars generated by fossil fuel profits are not a natural condition. Governments and corporations are intentionally destroying alternative transportation to fossil fuel using cars and trucks. It is not natural and inevitable like the sunrise or ocean tide it is a man made problem that is causing wars, abuse of women, car wrecks, and pollution as a start to the problems. How many women who were going home from work were desperate for a car ride home in the rain, and got far more than they bargained for when they had to be alone with a violent man? When massive profit is only in fossil fuel rich areas violence will follow.

  • Funny Alien Jokes

    Funny Alien Jokes

    Sad, funny, and true jokes on the Internet this week. Funny in a social commentary way. I bought a “life is too short to die for oil” button as a kid, and it keeps being more true every year.

  • Car Better

    Car Better

    By Andrea Menzies

    Many thanks to my family and friends which helped me get my car fixed this week. That is the one good part about this area is I have my mom, daughter, and a few cousins that are great at fixing cars in the area. The super cold weather has been hard on cars, and my sick car has been a challenge. I wish I did not live in a car dependent area with no buses available. I lived in France and Germany as a child when my American citizen family worked there, and public transportation was so clean, maintained, and on time transportation was never a problem. I lived in New Orleans for University and street cars and buses were easy to take, and running day and night. Car manufacturing leaders lobbied the governments in many U.S. areas to make roads non-walkable in the 1940s saying it would promote car manufacturing jobs. Now most of the jobs are gone overseas, and we are stuck with roads with few sidewalks and bike lanes. Many bike lanes are painted in this area that only run near parks, and don’t run the full street. House rental and sale websites want to list property as “near walk and bike trails” as the trails go nowhere and lead to dead-end roads constantly. The problem is people trying to go to work, school, and weekend social activities have limited transportation. Uber, other rideshare, and taxi rides are super expensive, often slow, and destroy a work-day’s profit margin for their personal profits. Cars use fossil fuel which makes pollution, are dangerous for wrecks, and cause many social problems. Forcing people in the U.S. to be dependent on cars destroys the ability to be productive many days.

    The car was sick.

  • Scooters and Guns

    Scooters and Guns

    By Andrea Menzies

    No matter what downtown you live near tiny electric scooters and gun violence are now normal. I thought I was living in the worst U.S.A. area, but then an old area I used to live in has suffered a bad shooting as well. Cold weather and a collapsing economy are making tempers flare in many areas. People want to blow off steam seeing music, but rent and parking downtown now seems to cost one million dollars. Uber and cabs are now extremely expensive. Music fans now park at a nearby hotel, and scooter a couple of miles into downtown areas. Unfortunately no area is safe anymore. The result is crime scene photos covered in tiny scooters that are a strange mix of the childlike and the morbid in one glance. I seriously do want to buy a tiny bike-scooter after seeing tiny scooters all over the last set of Austin music district murder photos. The scooter people were the ones that lived.

    So many scooters!
    14 inch wheel E-Bike scooters are only 50 pounds, and 20 inch E-bikes are an unusable 200 pounds.
