Home renovation - what's everyone paying nowadays?

Home renovation - what's everyone paying nowadays? - Lemmy.World

I’m going to eventually need to hire a contractor to fully renovate a bathroom, kitchen, and get a detached garage built. I know renovation costs have been pretty high last few years…they may come down this year or not - either way these projects eventually need to get done and I’m too limited on free time for DIY. Anyone have any recent experiences with hiring a contractor for a home renovation project? Did it turn out well? How much did it cost? Anyone to use/avoid?

Anyone else hoping for new motorcycle laws in 2024?

Anyone else hoping for new motorcycle laws in 2024? - Lemmy.World

Just curious to see if any of you out there have been observing any trends that might lead to new motorcycle legislation - for better or worse. I noticed that for 2024 Nebraska surprisingly repealed their motorcycle helmet law making it optional for wear. Definitely raised an eyebrow as they still criminalize lane splitting. I try to stay on the optimistic side for lane filtering eventually passing here in Virginia but seeing how we are one of only two states where radar detectors are illegal, I think it’s fair to say we may just stay in stasis for a while. Anyone else optimistic or pessimistic on new moto laws for this year?

Would you recommend military service for your kids?

…or nieces or nephews, etc. I’m having these questions come up and I’m torn on this. On one hand my experience has been like no other- got a chance to see and do so many things, forged the best friendships, housing/education/medical benefits through the VA afterwards. But those cons - the higher odds for experiencing abuse, witnessing or performing horrifying things, etc…all the stuff that comes with lifelong damage… What’s everyone’s take on this? Would you recommend the military for your kids?

Virginia and Mississippi- the only 2 states with radar detector bans

Virginia and Mississippi- the only 2 states with radar detector bans - Lemmy.world

WHY??? Had a radar detector in other states I’ve lived in and think this made me an overall more mindful driver about speeding. There’s also evidence that the ban of these devices have no impact on speeding in general. More arguments in the link… What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Are Virginia and Mississippi the two states that got it right?
