I hate seeing houses rot. There's a beautiful old farmhouse, down the street, that would make such an elegant country estate, but the people who inherited it 20 years ago, are just letting it fall apart.

Land prices are so stubbornly high, that people just sit on property they don't use and everything decays.

They should end the bathtub fetish and use the space for a bidet or pissoir.

Nobody takes baths, anymore.

Oh, we know. We completely renovated the last house we owned and it wasn't "done", until we moved out. And if we'd stayed there, we would soon have needed to replace the roof. 🙈

What drove me nuts about renting, was partly that we paid all this money and he never fixed or improved anything. We were constantly working on the house and garden, so it's nicer after us, than before us.

I now greatly prefer renovating and maintaining my own place because it is done to my standards. I'm the sort of person who cleans the grout with a toothbrush, and he left us with dripping faucets and a wasps' nest, in the attic.

The windows here are much easier to clean. And you know how I am about 🪟. Already cleaned them. Very satisfying. Can barely even see that they contain glass. 🤩

We're all loving the crazy amount of storage space and NO STAIRS 🤩. Also, 2 garages, so no more windshield scraping.

Only annoying thing is that there is only one toilet, and none in the bathroom, but we might rip out the bathtub (none of us use it) and put in a toilet, or something.

Celebrating a surprisingly successful move into an apartment bigger and nicer, than our previous house, where we pay no rent. 🥂

When you use Amethyst for 20 minutes over mobile and you use up over 2 GB. 🥴

Fair enough:)

Feynman, interesting.

I have a thing for Maxwell, but I guess that's dull.

Anyone watching anything decent tonight? #films #filmstr ?

Please steal my intellectual property.

Is that One Direction?

The Bears are still terrible, I see.

Please welcome my absolute champ of a Dad running steps at 71. nostr:note13kpn8v9pf7n4j546vtff9lurggufwjx5vfhvsetwnukn4qyjklkq4qwqhr

Cautiously optimistic about Trump’s plan to regulate censorship on the Internet. Really, what this does is remove power from the advertisers, who threaten to pull ads unless viewpoints they disagree with are censored. A publicly traded company can do nothing but bend the knee to these bludgeoners in the interest of shareholders, and private companies suffer via activism. Jack himself has spoken on this tension: what was right for the company in censoring and banning doesn’t translate to what is morally good. Removing the association of content from advertiser is a restoration of how things always were.

Still, I want to see this universally applied. I heard about a college professor this morning, suspended for mocking Trump voters. As uncharitable, unprofessional, or dumb as this may be, the guy has a right within his office to use mockery in this way. The reality is that Left and Right use censorship as a weapon, and we must all arrive at a shared repugnance for its employ.
