    it’s not the driving, it’s the assholes on the road who drive like it’s baby’s 1st power wheels. when i moved from city to rural, the improvement in my mental health just from the zero traffic was unbelievable. there’s like 2 good things about living in a city, and neither are remotely worth dealing with the many reasons NOT to live there

      Yeah, there’s little I dislike more than HAVING to drive in the city or through one. Luckily, we’re working on a project that is close enough to public transportation for the time being.

      I’ll be sad once this one finishes because, I’ll most likely need to return to car life.

      So, not just the “having a 1500kg weapon”, but also having to make sure that your 1500+kg weapon does not attack some other 1500+kg weapon while both are armed and are in the process of being discharged, continuously.
      Yeah, that would be a stressor.

      Well, at least I only have to worry about my ~15kg runaway device, not getting hit by any of those weapons.
      Oh wait, I also have to worry about the fragile thing not breaking down under my own force and running me straight into one of those weapons.
