In my small hometown there used to be a go kart track & mini golf place that closed down a number of years ago. A bank was built in its place.
A few years later a locally popular/famous restaurant unexpectedly closed down, even the cooks & waiters were caught off guard. The owners sold the property to a different bank.

Anime. I already like/want to tinker with my car so I'll just become the goth GF.

About a decade ago I worked a few weeks at ShopKo. Their hours were terrible; they'd make you work 5-9pm to unload the trucks, then make you work 5am-1:30pm the following morning to restock the shelves.
You get exactly 8 hours between shifts making it physically impossible to get 8 hours of sleep. And since the hours were spread so wide throughout the day it was impossible to have a regular sleep schedule. It's legal for companies to do this to their workers in the US. I was also only paid around $8.50/hr, but that's beside the point.
In a similar vein, my next job was at another retail store. One time I requested a weekend off to help a friend move, but they denied it and instead made me work 7 days in a row, Wednesday through Tuesday. They got away with it because the company's shift tracking app ends the work week on Saturday, so it didn't realize I worked a week straight.
I was paid around $10.50/hr on average there.

If you want a more literal, chemist answer: carbon fiber. Carbon fiber's chemical structure is surprisingly similar to Asbestos. Even though we barely use it for anything due to the difficulty in producing it, it's most likely just as harmful to us as asbestos.

A semi is rated to tow tens of thousands of pounds, so this is absolutely nothing for one to do. And sometimes you need to transport multiple semi's to a destination but don't need multiple drivers to do it. This is probably the easiest/cheapest way to do it.

This would ensure the transfem community stays adequately hydrated.

I think one of the easiest ways to "reset" your baseline is to visit old growth/native forests. Those are some of the few untouched areas left and shows you what the land used to be like before we depleted everything.

I tried a few different names; most of them were derived from my original name. I ultimately decided on one that was pretty similar to my dead name.
I also realized a few months after picking my new name that it's an anagram for my mom's name. Except it has a D...

I'm the same age. When I graduated college 10 years ago my dad tried talking me into the air force. I'm so glad I didn't do that; I would have despised serving under this President.

They could want their copper, lumber, moose, pasties, shoreline, etc. There are many things. \s

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for the PS2 had a roughly 1.5' x 2' fold out poster that had a map of the playable world with small bits of lore. It even had a short message from your uncle telling you good luck on your journey. The other side had an image of Jak & Daxter on the A-grav zoomer. This was way back in 2001.
I remember as a kid pulling it out and reading it so many times that the corner folds started to wear out.

Similarly, Ratchet & Clank also had a poster with all the weapons & gadgets you'd use with small bits of info for each item. The reverse side also had R&C, however I can't remember if Ratchet was just holding the Devastator or if they were on a grind rail.
I miss getting those with the games. It made them so much more special and unique.

Another thing to point out is the newer car is "only" a 2009 model. We've had another 17 years since then to make them even safer still.
It'd be interesting to see how much cars have improved since then.

There were very small hints in my childhood and middle & high school, but the first real crack didn't happen until my 3rd year in college.
I finished a round of beer pong at a party. I was taking a sip of the purple drank when shaking hands with the opponent. They shook harder than anticipated and I spilt it on my white shirt. A lady friend saw the spill and offered me her black, long sleeve, form fitting shirt. I accepted.
I proceeded to receive several compliments from others at the party which I wasn't expecting, but it made me feel good. I eventually went home in that shirt (I returned it to her later that week) and when I looked in the mirror I finally saw why I was getting all of those compliments. And I agreed with them.
I then slowly experimented with more fem clothing over the years (I was in a very conservative family and town which severely hampered my progress) and the more fem I went the happier I felt about myself. Before when I'd look in the mirror as a guy I'd just think, "That's me." Nothing negative, but nothing positive. But with fem clothing I actually felt happy with what I saw staring back at me.
I didn't really see myself as trans yet; more a non binary/gender fluid. It wasn't until I finally tried E and saw what it did for me that I finally realized and accepted that I'm trans. And now I really like looking at myself in the mirror and get happy at what I see looking back at me.
I still use they/them, but I'm sure I'll eventually switch to she/her. I also won't stop anyone from using she/her when referring to me.

This has been a big concern of mine. My mom has chronic health issues that gives her similar issues, and I already take after her in more ways than I'd like. I worry I'll inherit these problems if I go on HRT.

I once saw a man in Arkansas, who had a saw which could out saw any saw that it saw saw; the man said, "Have you saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas? If you have saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas, show me the saw saw."; when he said that I saw a saw, I said, "Yes I did saw a saw in Arkansas, and what a saw I saw, that saw saw!!"

As someone who has a Toto washlet that goes on top of regular toilets, can confirm that they are awesome. Would recommend. I can't go back to regular toilets.

Both jobs were only part time, so it wasn't every day, but it was still around 3 times a week, so recovering from it was difficult. It was dependent on when the trucks arrived.

This may be out of your price range, but I've been very satisfied with my Logitech G915. It's a wireless, backlit, low profile (so no wrist rest necessary), mechanical keyboard with some programmable buttons on the left side. You can also adjust how bright the back light is.
I've been using it for around 5 years now and have little to complain about it. There are also three different switch choices so if you don't like the clicky sound, you can pick one of the others. I went with linear.
Again, I know it's pricey (it was $250 when I bought it), but I have had no need nor desire to look for another keyboard since.

That's the other thing, too. It's rare to be in a situation where you could inhale it. The only example I can think, which is also a rare situation, is if a vehicle that uses it is involved in some kind of accident and breaks the piece of carbon fiber. That could release it into the air causing you to breathe it in.
