About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's solβ¦

In my state, when I renew my registration they ask for the mileage on the car.
Should be simple to subtract last year's reading and charge me for the miles I've used on the roads.
While we're at it, I think my little Golf should be charged less per mile than someone's large and heavy SUV, and that less than the truck capable of carrying cargo.
@CelloMom On Cars Yeah, they could easily do that here, if'n you buy a car from out of state, you have to have an odometer check at an inspection state before you can register it, so obviously they could extend that to all electric vehicles at every renewal. Figuring out the rate is a little tricky, is that an eGolf or a Golf? The weight of the batteries in an electric car (Nissan Leaf 62Kwh pack is roughtly 950#) can put them on par with some light trucks, and weight is a leading cause of wear and tear on roads.

Arizonaβs acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schoolsβ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.
And what is there to say, I'm still here. Really, it's not been a really notable one, which I suppose is a blessing in itself, I mean I've lost my father a couple years back, and it's inevitable that I'll lose more in the future, but this year wasn't one of those.
Work, still the perfect job for me, I'm almost undeniably autistic, and have found the perfect place for me. Of course the tariff threats worry me as my job is delivery, which is of course import driven, heavily Chinese imports driven. But what can I do but wait and see? On the work side, we have streamlined things, shut down my LLC, everything I was doing had fallen under the sole proprietor envelope, so no point in wasting money on that and making things more complicated.
Money, we survived, but our backup account is in rough shape, down around $1K maybe. Checking is always depleted, but that's how our finances are set up. Property saving account is going strong, I was originally going to put it into a short term CD, but I'm leaning towards using it for home improvements instead. We will be reducing how much we put into property by $50 every two weeks as well as potentially increasing my pay and lowering the phone bill, so if'n things don't change too much we'll end 2025 better, but time will tell.
And me? I work, read, occasionally proofread fan fics, and that's about it, assuming I even have energy for that, something that's been a problem lately, not sure if'n it's winter issues, or something else. I don't really go anywhere, the world is too peopley for me. Seriously, I mean my job requires about 1 minute of interaction with people, otherwise interaction is option or accidental. I want to retire somewhere rural, maybe southern IL, where there's less people.
I'd post a year end selfie, but I need to shave rather badly. Whelp, onwards, it's 2025 (time not year) as I type this, that seems appropriate. Bedtime will prolly be within an hour, sleep when I get to it, unless something interesting pops up on one of my apps.
