I thrive in Summer Camp-style environments. What job/hobby should I do?
  • Most of the time it’s groups of 2 (unless we’re talking about municipal development, which is a different beast altogether, I’m thinking firms that do lots of out-of-town work), but often you can be in camps as support. Frequently, there will be a team working a big project on rotation, so lots of opportunity for shared experiences.

    Admittedly, my experience in rugged coastal mountains isn’t going to be the same as those that are working in dense urban environments. I assume because OP is talking about camps that they live in a place that offers reasonably close proximity to wilderness.

    Also, you have to have a fairly high interest in math and the outdoors to stick with the profession.

  • I thrive in Summer Camp-style environments. What job/hobby should I do?
  • Land surveying would be my recommendation. Jobs can be all over and as someone living in BC, my days of fieldwork could be absolutely spectacular sometimes. You also tend to jump around in worksites and with the right firm, travelling is definitely possible.

  • Javier Milei’s government announces plan to crack down on Argentina protests
  • No, my comment was questioning whether a political party would bus protestors in to protest their own party, not claiming that there weren’t any protests at all.

    EDIT: I was assuming these protests were happening for months. That said, I can see that they could be protesting the election results, so the time between the election and the swearing in.

  • Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe
  • Well, except the article is about Paris and cars in the US are not small or underpowered.. at all. Kind of a ridiculous statement, actually. The average car in Europe is much smaller than those in the US with a much smaller engine. For example, the most popular car in France in 2022 was the Peugot 208 with a 1.2L engine with around 74hp and a length of 4m, while the most popular car in the US, the Camry has a engine options ranging between 2.4L-3.5L, around 208hp and a length of 4.8m (almost 3’ longer for you yanks).

    I mean, they have to be. European fuel prices are double or more and most countries/cities have proper transit and were not built for US size cars (or any cars for that matter).
