    I cannot. I have seen the family car twice since she traded in our old one to get this one - it’s been a year - and ridden in it once for an IKEA+Starbucks white-kid Sunday fun day.

    I cannot abandon it for I cannot prove she hasn’t abandoned me and taken it with her. Every night is a mixture of relief and joy as she steps out of the elevator, as it means she’s back; and she’s also gorgeous so there’s that too.

    Oh shit. Me and the family dog have too much in common.

    So anyway, I can’t comply with this imperative. If you added an article it wouldn’t sound like Phil Hartman’s SNL lawyer character.

    Yeesh. Can confirm. c$4/sqft/mo in the V3L.

    c$1.6m for a moldy (no res permit) fully detached that’s been there since WW1. Gonna need gutting and remediating for about c$.3m but it looks good in photos.

    But verrry little snow to mess up the frail subway.

    Jacinda got booted, though, and they’re on a conservative swing for a bit. Standard post-covid bellyaching leveraged by some slick populist full of lies and scams, but they’re not going to give away the country - ahem - before they claw their sanity back.

    Yep, that’s my list too. My nephew went to NZ but I’ve been to a few nordics and I can confirm life is easier there. More taxes, way better life: economies of scale, my dood.

    The best one I’ve seen is the one with the deceptively harsh name that implies a place no one wants to visit. It’s great PR. Go there. It’s pricy as hell if you try to live like an American with the fast food and flash, but just live, and you’ll find a vibrant lifestyle and real happiness.

    Yep, nordics are the happiest places on earth.
