The one thing I don't have, and keep suggesting one to the wife, for beans mostly. Nope, doesn't want one 🙄

Roast veggies in the oven (56L), 3 or 4X what would fit in our air fryer.

Lost sight immediately ... Thank Buddha for GPS & RTH Unless you're really into making vids (I'm not), then features won't get used too much. I used them with my MI Drone, that was a cut above the cheap vid drones I have now. I really don't operate them that much any more. Good for photos, and as I said, inspecting stuff, chasing pigeons. Even when I go O&A, I stopped taking them with me, as we try to get bungalows with a high view, so don't really need them. Realized the other day, bought my 1st one almost 15 yrs ago. Enjoy, they are quite fun. Mini 3 was an excellent choice 👍

I had one that was 25 yrs old when I bought it, '50' Buick Special. Current car, you'll have to ask the wife, I'll be long gone.

with side of meatballs

When I do veggies, mostly roast red peppers, do them in 'bulk', a whole cookie sheet or 2.

DJI just came out with another one that pretty awesome. Just a step up from the minis, but pricey. $$$ USD $$$

Strangely, there was not signage a the dealer, stating that 599k price, and no promo signage around town, stating that price, when supposedly available. They had a couple advert campaigns between August till end of year. Only saw the 599k price on the internet. Which I thought was really strange and why asked the wife to ask about it. History now, as is the ZS EV. Guess I'll have a classic in a few years, decades, if I live that long.

Foreign aid should be offered, when there is extra in the budget. After ALL USA CITIZENS are taken care of .... AND, the deficit, national debt is paid off. You don't borrow money to give it away. Especially to countries that don't even need it, or don't even like the USA.

Good luck ever finding one at the 599k price. Never heard anyone getting one or knowing someone getting at that price. As you know, wife asked locally if price was real, and verified, but she failed to ask, IF any available. Price went from 949k, to 869k or 879k, then sale price 829k, then back to 949k, then 869k, then 599k (good luck), then 829k .... to now, discontinued. Pretty much nothing but a bait & switch campaign if you ask me.

You apparently have no idea what USAIID funds. 'aid' is not part of the plan. Priority is regime change. Aid / fund protests, disruption and political unrest in other countries, in the guise of promoting freedoms & democracy. Then follow up with a coup, if new elections don't work, till they put a puppet in that they can control.

So how's it going with the Mini ? I tested one of the features of mine today, 'follow me', which I've never used. Wife saw watching the edit, and told her 'testing follow me' ... "what .. It's got follow me ? " Yes, a bunch of features, follow me, orbit, way points ... I just never used them. I use the drone for photos, and inspecting thing, not really for vid making. Unlike DJI, mine follows the GPS / phone, not me.

Air Fryer definitely not the solve all, do all appliance. Still deep fry, french fries & tater tots, as simply does a better job. Don't cook veggies in it. Does puff pastry items, turnovers, very nicely. Other things I use it for: ... Salmon ... Crispy Pork Belly ... Sausages ... quick Pizza Bread, on rolls or sliced bread ... roasting chicken parts, if just a few piece Limited use, do to size. Ours 4.5L, so not cooking a meal in it, unless for 1 person. But enough protein for 2 people. Comes in handy, and easy enough to clean. Great is space limited. Do need a full size oven (56L), and ours have powerful fans, even advert as 'air fryer', for cooking more than 2 servings of 1 item. Also baking anything else, again, more room, and better temp control. Still a fan of stove top & cast iron pans or skillet. Could easily manage with just a set of cast iron cookware.

Just like living in 1st country soon, one more tax scam after another. Minimal tax, but makes having Solar & BEVs even a better idea.

Think most are common sense, or should be. Only comment, and Magnesium definitely improved my sleep. Not familiar with the other supplements.

Not really seeing any 'wokeness' myself, except 'same sex' marriage, and not sure that really counts, as should have been a thing, long ago. The 'nasty' foreigners are tourist, and not here long enough to matter. All easily avoided, unless you live in a tourist area, and that would be by choice. Oh well ...

Wasn't a car person either, and with one exception, all my vehicles were quite practical and thrifty values. Nothing to impress anyone. Did buy a Firebird to sell for profit, from a govt auction, but after driving for a week, quite fun, decided to keep it. Never paid more than $5k for a vehicle, in the USA, and only bought 1 new one, a work truck, so practical and needed the dependability. Really the opposite here / TH, and on my 5th new car, along with 3 new MC

Most come with an 8 year battery warranty, and the market here is too young for anyone to need replacing a battery. MG even offers a lifetime battery warranty on most models. With most using LFP chemistry, the batteries really should outlast the rest of the car, and probably the same with the electric motors, which MG again, warranties for life, I think. Hopefully by the time the rest of the car craps out, folks here will have an easy plug & play for the battery pack to be added to solar systems.

About time the USA got out of the regime change and war mongering business. Big win for the USA tax payer. Stop all foreign aid, as borrowing money to give away is just stupid.

Interfering with and inconveniencing people's lives, always gets you support for your cause

Depends how long you keep your cars. First 3 cars here, we kept for about 125k kms / 7 years each. 4th only had 2 years, and upgraded to the BEV version. As plan on keeping till it dies, which should be considerable savings over the life of the car, vs the ICEV version. Actually glad now that we did sell the ICEV when we did, as it had a 100k price drop, since the price war started. Aside from the normal depreciation, add that price drop, and it really wouldn't be worth selling now if still had. If not having solar, we probably would not have sold the ICEV and upgraded to the BEV version. Simply staying ignorant about the more comfy ride & performance. We were very happy with the ICEV version, obviously since upgrading to same make & model.

Should you not be all knowing by now

They really needed a study to figure that out. A lot of wasted hours and resources, and hope it didn't cost to much.

to the title ... No, as don't see an advantage, or disadvantage about being a permanent resident, or not.
