The cheapest contractor usually does the lowest quality of work. Same thing with availability, if they have openings today, there’s a reason for it.

In my experience paying a cheaper contractor just compounds expenses in the future, because you then have to pay what you should have paid to get their mistakes repaired.

Hopefully you’ve read enough replies to understand you need to report this to building maintenance. This is not a DIY fix, if you fuck it up, you risk injury or fucking up the heat for the entire building.

Want rice? Here’s the one brand we have. Protein powder? Here it is. Milk? Just this one. Thank you for shopping and don’t forget your quarter!

Well I’ll say I fucking love Aldi in the US.

Wellbutrin nearly killed me so I’m not a fan of that path. I found nicotine pouches were the best way to wean off smoking/vaping. Along with addiction counseling and understanding triggers and halflives of chemicals and how they play with physical versus mental addiction.

The simplest first step is to separate the trigger “I need a smoke.” To the actual action with a timer and gradually increasing the time.

I was arguing about religion on the Internet and spending 80+ hours a week playing MMOs.

Workaholics are toxic. Not having time to meet your life partner means you’re not trying.

Nice! It’s always fun to get a good passive setup running

It isn’t hard exactly, you get a feel for synergies and they usually happen organically. Sometimes something triggers that you weren’t even expecting and next thing you know you have 1,000 attack with 200 multi strike.

In that same category, Merge Maestro. Very fun and addictive game where no two runs go the same way.

Edit: Free to try, full game is a single $2 purchase.

You can stretch the ketchup at the end if you add a bit of water.

To be fair, 100k 40 years from now will have the spending power of about 50k. The real power is in continuing to save as it compounds.

“Yeah, but look at America!”

The people with the most power and force are sociopathic though. So we can all be as empathetic as is reasonable, but a relatively small group of well armed people will take everything.

Anarchy and Libertarianism are the wishful thinking of the left and right. People may on average be good, but large enough groups never are.

Cute. Who protects the property? Mutual Aid sounds nice on paper. The truth of human nature is that the strong will take anything you work to build.

Zero government. No rules. Take it with force. Of course we’re aware of what y’all think. You’re the libertarians of the left.

I was drunk and in a good mood and a guy asked for $10 to take the bus or something, so I handed him a $20 and said I hope he had a nice evening. Should have been the end of it, right? Nope. “Oh man, if you have $20 more the Lord will bless you and I can get a bus pass and eat. My sister is dying and I need to visit her often and I’m on the streets right now.” Stuff like that for like 3 blocks of following me.

Bro… I. Don’t. Believe. You. Like, literally, it’s probably all bullshit and I knew the first $20 was going to buy booze or drugs. Don’t fucking try to shake me down for more.

Roomba Roomba Roomba, let me be your Roomba.

Another site tried to do that years ago, Voat, and like your story, died as a free speech absolutist Nazi hell hole.

I know a friend who ran out of gas while listening to the audio book, lol. If that’s not a testament to it’s quality, I don’t know what is.
