      It already looks stupidly funny to me. Also decadent. I can’t imagine why a country would make this road-legal.

          We’re basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you’re in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.

            Yeah. For some things it makes sense to look at the US as kind of rural/redneck Europe. The US has like half the population but pretty much all of the geographic diversity.

            Consider, for instance, my state of Pennsylvania. It might be a big enough state that folks in civilized countries have heard of it. Being a swing state in our presidential elections probably helps too.

            The thing is, this little state you may not have heard of is significantly bigger than countries like Seweden or Belgium, in both population and GDP. It’s between the two as far as land area.

            PA is shaped a bit like the US itself, too. You have Pittsburgh in the west “coast” and Philadelphia to the east. It’s a 515 km drive between the two, or if you want to avoid tolls it’s more like 565km at much slower speeds. The vast stretch of land in between is beautiful in places but is very correctly referred to as Pennsyltucky.

            When it comes to driving laws, I don’t go to the united states drivers services or whatever, I go to PennDOT! https://www.pa.gov/penndot

    I’m setting up my 1-2-3 backup for the first time today, actually. It’ll be nice knowing that my years of art projects and collected media will finally be safe from just about anything.

        OMV for the host.

        • RAID 5 (4x1TB)
        • Weekly incremental internal drive backup
        • Weekly external backup in a firesafe box

        I’m just doing the RAID setup today should have the rest done by the end of the month.
