Over Alberta last night.

The greatness/size ratio is off the charts!

I originally started paying for prime for the free shipping. Prime video is a perk as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t re-evaluated it in a long time though to see if it’s worth it. I do order a ton of stuff on amazon since I live 160km from the nearest city.

Thanks for the support. Some people think the world is uniform and don’t understand anything outside of their world view.

I run 1000 cows on a 60,000 acre ranch in southern Alberta. It’s too rough to run a semi truck and trailer around on but I can haul a tri-axle Wilson gooseneck stock trailer with 20,000 lbs of cattle across it when I need to. There’s no roads through the ranch other than dirt trails so it takes a long time to travel through it and the fewer trips I have to make the better. Generally I’m moving cattle on horseback but occasionally I have to move old/sick/injured cows from a to b. Simply put, your European farms are miniscule and you don’t need the same capabilities that we do. The world is not uniform.

Recently bought a new diesel silverado 3500 for my ranch. It’s enormous, I’m glad I didn’t get the dually option as it’s hard enough to drive in the city. Most of its job however is pulling trailers around.

That said, on highway if I drive the speed limit and take it easy I can get 9L/100km. It’s unreal that such a huge truck will get almost the same economy as our KIA SUV.

Get out of here with your reason. That’s not what the internet is for. Now, would you like a torch or pitchfork?

The description is a bit off. Spensa was raised in caverns on an alien world and m-bot is (mild spoilers for skyward ahead) a ship’s ai on a starfighter that crashed long ago on that world. He is hesitant to leave is position and fly/fight due to his previous owners last orders.

It’s a great book and myself and my kids really enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s the book OP is looking for.

Sync for reddit was a great 3rd party app for browsing reddit. Since 3rd party apps were ousted from reddit the dev repurposed his app for Lemmy. I’ve been using it today and so far it is fantastic. There are some ads, but at the moment it’s the best Lemmy app on the market as far as UI goes imho.
