So apparently amateur tunneling can be addictive. Check out tunnel girl Engineer Kala on TikTok if you want to lose your mind on a modern example. William Lyttle is the reining champ; he dug tunnels for fun for 40 years. Destabilized his house, caused sinkholes around town, connected with a rail line.
Yes, and they are being bribed just like our politicians were
My fiance and I are doing it ourselves. It's a tiny house and he has a few years of construction experience. We had to learn a lot on the fly, but it hasn't collapsed yet! Seriously though I bet you can do it, especially with a few mates.
I wonder if it's like a translation thing? I bet individuals in these groups don't speak the local language but have a translator. Maybe the translator is too deferential and won't actually translate orders properly so as not to offend their clients. Just pulling a guess out my bum; anyone with real experience know?
You really think those massive, experimental water tanks won't require more maintenance, because you have to trim trees once ever few years? Or because their roots might grow too much?
I have a PhD and wrote an article (that no one will ever read) obliquely criticizing Trump and every once in a while I wonder if that is what will get me shot.... but it will probably be the pipe bombs.
I really appreciate your call to do something. I personally don't think we can vote our way out of this, but we all need to do something. Anything. Whatever we can and feel called to do. This isn't the dress rehearsal.
What work can we do to get that system? We aren't allowed to vote for it and neither party is interested in more competition. French-style protests might work, but our list of grievances is so long. We'd have to unite under something big...it just all feels like a long shot for our society.
And women and Black folks and Muslims and refugees and environmentalists and disabled people and journalists and subcontractors...
I don't totally disagree, but he's a straight white man who is really wonky/can dive into the weeds of legislation and is affable. He has a potentially broad appeal with the coasts and Midwest.
Thank God I thought it was just me!
Don't worry, they definitely won't go that route of helping everyone a lot when they could help their people just a little.
