As long as you have proper gearing for it you can go up almost any incline in a bike, even with a lot of cargo without needing electric assistance. It will just be slow and take a while. I am not a fan of pushing the bike uphill, especially when it is heavily loaded because leaning your whole body against the weight is much more exhausting than just pushing the pedals.

I have a rear rack on my bike and big pannier bags which allow me to carry a 1/2 to 3/4 full shopping cart. When it is fully loaded it makes the bike feel a little weird but it is maneagable and on the flat its not much slower than without them.

I also have a trailer that was once used to haul me as a kid, I use that if I need to carry bulky items or just more stuff in general. I am a bit slower with it, especially because the connecting arm on my trailer is a little bit flexible, so when going uphill and the trailer is heavily loaded it will flex with each pedal stroke and take some energy away.

I dont have an E-Bike because the stores are all closer than 5km around me and I do have some steep hills but also some flat areas, so I dont mind the extra workout.

An old used mountainbike with a wide gear range and a used bike trailer would probably fit into your budget, a lot of the kid/pet trailers can also be pushed/pulled by hand with some quick conversions. And if it isnt that expensive looking you can probably keep it locked outside without anyone stealing it.

If you have a lot of bad sidewalks I would look for wide tires and/or suspension in the trailer, then adjust the tire pressure accoring to the load.

Hey that is my name, it doesnt have to be associated with the idiot Elon.

Welp, I have only now seen this post on the 19.09.2024.

I guess I did not only miss the notification, but also the rapture itself.

I would send him the money if he cared for you as a child and not abused you, and you can afford to send it to him and he really needs it.

Yeah, thats how it is in Germany, although they may not have a house, they will most of the time get enough pensions to afford their daily lives.

I am an adult, but my mother would rather give me money than the other way around, but my parents are also upper middle class.

But if my parents ever needed money to survive I would support them, its just unlikely to happen.

This isnt about the official servers being online forever, this is about being able to host your own server without having to crack the game in weird ways.

Drug addictions spiral out of control because their lifes suck and they want an escape. If you make their lifes harder you dont help anyone. Drug addiction should be treated in the same way as mental illness.

But the most effective way to help them is to give them a perspective and a way to get out of their situation before they have to stop using the drugs, i.e. give them housing and have a doctor supply them their drugs, then slowly taper them off.

Or just dont let people get homeless in the first place.

That isnt without risks itself and it might not have been practically possible in some cases.

Would you desert if your family gets sent to a concentration camp when the army finds out?

Well, during the war ukraine has no choice but to kill the russian soldiers if they want to win.

But I think that ukraine treats POW fairly well and if the war ends they probably wouldnt force them to work in Gulag conditions.

Just because they were soldiers doesnt mean they were nazis. A lot of them were drafted and at the end of the war even teenagers were sent to the frontline because all the other young men were already fighting or dead.

If a soldier was part of the SS or SA, he was a nazi.

It is likely that we humans or our ancestors were responsible for the extinction of most of the megafauna around the world, so we would only be undoing our own damage I guess.

Happens all the time, nothing to be ashamed about.

Would be a little uncomfortable if something solid comes out though.
