    The US ranks 126 by percentage of renewable energy production in the world. Also this has nothing to do with the quality of the grid.

    You might live in an area where the grid is good, but a lot of the US is an embarrassment. Propane had a storm this winter that left a lot of people without power for several days. Texas is... Texas it can't handle cold or hot weather. California's grid main purpose seems to be starting fires.

  • Could you say more about Quebec and proportional representation? I tried searching all I found were some articles about Quebec hating non proportional representation.

    I live in the US were as far as I know proportional representation is not a thing, which is incredibly useful to maintain the two party system. I come from a more civilized place with proportional representation and universal healthcare and it hurts so much to see how broken this country is.

  • What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
  • American universities are weird. My hometown has a large university and for the most part once you walk two minutes in any direction it just looks like a regular neighborhood. It helps to not have sports as part of the university.

  • American schools are big. There is no need for a huge stadium, and definitely no need for a lot of parking, especially considering that it sits empty most of the time. Schools on my home country are smaller, and we have more of them, and they have zero parking. Even the expensive private schools didn't have any parking spots, the idea seems weird. Frankly American schools appear to intentionally waste space and aren't integrated into their surroundings.

  • Languages are weird
  • That's pretty normal, a few years ago I ran into these Brazilian bikers in Argentina and they didn't speak Spanish or English, so it was really hard to communicate. We (Spanish speakers) really rely on you guys understanding us. I can read Portuguese without much trouble, though, it's the pronunciation that gets me.
