One thing to keep in mind
the US is huge, both geographically and culturally. Flying from Los Angeles to Boston is further than London to Baghdad.
And likewise, the cultural "distance" between, say, New England or the Pacific Northwest and the deep south is extreme.
Of course there are things that affect (nearly) all Americans, but some context is important.
But this applies to the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and...well...much of the world, if these data are to be trusted.
For those wondering about the energy, not just the power:
When fully charged, the upper reservoir can store enough energy to power the plant at full capacity for 10.8 hours, equivalent to nearly 40 GWh.
The USA is huge, and individual states are huge. San Francisco and Los Angeles are both in California, but you're not going to do a day trip from one to the other.
Our beer is great! Probably stay away from the big brands (unless Sierra Nevada is considered a big brand
they're still great IMHO). Try to find something from a local brewery
it can be hit or miss, but more fun than finding one you like and sticking to it.
We have a lot of social services that aren't necessarily through the federal government. Food banks come to mind
some are "proof of assistance required," others are open to anyone who feels they need the service. There is not afaik a single interface for navigating these services though, so it can be a real pain, from what I've heard. But services often do exist, if you have the time to track them down.
Libraries! Free wifi is common.
If you don't like it here, try a different part of the country. Rural town in the south is completely different than a "blue city."
My city has a fleet of vintage streetcars that it runs on standard routes (i.e., it's not just a tourist novelty
and it's the same cost as bus and other light rail).
It's always a joy to ride those and read the history of the individual streetcar
they all wear fun livery.
If you don't want to sail the high seas, and you don't want to pay, the library is a great, free option.
I think there are examples of projects getting criticized for not recreating the corposhit. Take GIMP
sure some folks really like it, but there are huge swaths of people who basically just say, "why doesn't it work like Photoshop?!" and get very frustrated with its different approach.
Personally, I like Google Photos
the interface, not the product
so when Immich came along and basically cloned it, I was really happy (I think Immich is fantastic, and at this point calling it a Photos clone is kinda offensive tbh
it's way cool).
Some corposhit just sucks, yeah, but some is actually well thought out
no shame in taking the concept and running with it, IMHO.
And environment
DISPLAY and PATH in particular.
What kind of cutlery are you dropping that requires refinishing your floor?
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
My hunch is that this is not restricted to TikTok...
