Your safe following distance on gravel at 50mph is more than that. 3 seconds is your minimum following distances on normal surfaces (used to be 2, advice has changed), you should have a 4 second following distance on gravel. https://www.drive-safely.net/safe-following-distance/

The term is classical liberal. Capitalist is a strawman used by Marx to be some unrealistic thing they can knock down. Minimum wage is not compatible with the deep freedom message of of classical liberalism.

And mostly nobody is fighting minimum wage because it isn't a factor - you can't find someone willing to work for that anymore in most places anyway - which is to say supply and demand is working. They will fight increasing it because that is against the rules of supply and demand and ends up hurting the people who are the most disadvantaged.

Classical liberals were starting to fight against slavery before Mark was even born because it is not compatible with their freedom message.

Businessmen were against slavery before Marx was born as well - slavery is inefficient to a business. It is much more efficient to pay people to work and let them figure out how to get their own food and shelter. Slaves need to eat even when you don't have work for them to do. Because of this the classical liberal message of freedom was an easy one to sell to business owners since there was no cost to them anyway. (many businesses are of course inefficient and so you can find businesses that had slaves)

Look at old hot climates.

notice the afternoon siesta. Sleep in the shade in the hot of the day and work (play) later into the night.

notice large covered porches around the house. Spend more time outside in the breeze and shade.

notice the large windows and doors. When you are inside get plenty of ventilation-

notice the ceiling fan (often slave pulled). Be glad we now have electric fans.

notice the folding hand fans. Portable fans exist, though most of the time the hand fan is better - get one.

They were mostly had such poor insulation as to be not worth having because of the losses in winter. There is a good reason most people hove tore them out when they get ac.

No tides as a large moon would knock any other moons out of orbit - this means the moons are too small to support a tide.

If people are willing to pay for luxury apartments that says there are not too many. Let me know when more than 20% are empty. If it is less than 20% empty but more than 5% that is a good thing: it means that people who want one can find one, less than 5% and finding an apartment is too hard. The economy has ups and downs all the time which is why 20% is still okay, since when things come back those will get filled.

All new apartments are luxury. People who want/need cheap apartments are looking for something 50+ years old that has had the minimum remodels done since those are always much cheaper for the same size. Building an apartment is expensive and that needs to be paid for by adding some (relatively cheap) features that are luxury today.

Those who build apartments have a good idea how much parking is needed. They have incentive to figure it out because while it costs money to build parking it costs them when someone who wants parking decides to rent elsewhere where they can find it. Getting this balance right needs to be figured out for each block though, and so the city is too big to have a code.

I almost never order delivery, so I'm asking out of confusion on why someone who does use it does if they are that bad.

I do tip delivery because as I said it is expected. However I still contend it is unethical.

there's things like being able to find an apartment or navigate competently on the roads, both of which I've seen drivers struggle with thanks to gps-enabled apps.

Why are you ordering delivery if your life is so empty that you have time to watch what the driver is doing. Just go yourself. If delivery is so bad that you feel a need to watch it like that, then it is unacceptable. This is just baseline competence - you shouldn't be handling this with tips, their manager should be firing someone who can't figure out how to navigate after getting training (Which they should provide before a driver starts!)

thinking to grab condiments/napkins, and other little niceties that go above the delivery itselff.

That is for the store to put into the bag, not the driver to deal with. Even if the driver puts them into the bag, they are standard baseline and the manager should do that.

I've had enough bad experiences that I appreciate when I don't have a shitty one, like food that's been clearly flopping around in the car or a driver too lazy to use a hotbag to keep stuff warm.

Those are things you don't find out about until the driver has left your door with the tip.

Because it is expected and so not tipping is ripping someone else off.

Tipping works for servers because you as the customer has good insight into how good the service you got was. Customers need to tip poorly when the waiter is bad for this to work.

Tipping for delivery is unethical - the only way a driver can give you better service is if they break driving laws , so your tip is incentive to commit a crime.
