Should I permanently leave Israel?
I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...
Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?
I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....
Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?
Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...

What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good
I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...
when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?

What hobbies or volunteer work require creative problem solving from lots of different areas?
I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I’ll just randomly throw some...

Tbh I am a messy person, I trained myself to be organized but I still struggle to not lose my keys and I want something like the apple tag but FOSS, I’ve thought of an ESP32 or ATTINY with a bluetooth module but I don’t think apple uses that? It has to be durable and friendly with LineageOS, samsung stock and my dad lol.
