Sort of. The building was built as a dual-purpose building to save on the cost to build. Those big metal buildings are cheap to put up and a lot of people build into them over time (live in it as you build up around you is the normal strategy, either with an RV or by starting with a room and bathroom).

Those big metal buildings also sometimes manage to fly under the radar for developing land without permitting, since you can put one up on your own land for storage.

Those metal sided buildings aren’t super uncommon around here, so it really didn’t occur to me other people would find it particularly weird.

But then apparently well water and septic is also weird to some people, and that’s basically every country property here :p

Eh you can get 80 for the same amount that has less sea foam green. Middle of nowhere super far north is pretty easy to get land. They don’t get internet, so nobody wants to live there.

They are honestly asking too much for the local market, especially for not being on the grid or having solar. They listed it for that much like 3 years ago when stuff was super high and selling like hotcakes.

I’ve come across this streaming platform limitation problem a lot. I’m not tied to any particular streaming services, but a lot of the post-2019 (or so) media found on them is completely unknown to everyone, including people who have those services. It’s wild how difficult it is to find copies of some real gems, because they launched on some obscure site or minor-market-share service, and basically died.

People who do happen to have those minor platforms usually don’t use them as much as the bigger ones, or they swap between platforms so frequently they miss stuff that’s not new or whatever it happens to be, but whatever the cause, the effect is that a lot of media, even stuff available right now on streaming, is almost impossible to find (even on a ship!) and nobody has heard of it.

I used to assume that obscure media is bad, and that used to be sort of mostly true, but it isn’t anymore. Obscure now just means it’s newer and wasn't advertised heavily, which is most of it, or is in rights limbo.

I don’t think that even exists here (it probably does, but it’s a minor option) but that’s probably because literally everywhere around here does fish on Friday (year round and way better than fast food but also usually fairly cheap) and a lot of places do on Wednesday as well.

And during lent, fish is always available. Chain fish places do very poorly here, other than like crab, lobster, or sushi.

So she just needs to throw out ideas, problem solved!

Jk I have this problem too. I want things riiiiiight up until they are on my plate ready to be eaten. Then I lose interest.

It’s worse with going to eat, because the work involved in cooking really cements me to eating that thing.

I love going to holiday light displays and just let my eyes relax and everything is all spiky with halos around, and it’s all quite overwhelming but really pretty.

I do hate driving at night, though.

If you need your own offspring to have motivation to fix things you are definitely in it for bad reasons. I mean if you want to raise the next generation of human cattle, the machine always needs more.

Automation would be great, actually, if we shifted society to one where your ability to survive wasn’t tied to your ability to generate profit for the wealthy, and made the whole of society based on renewable resources.

What if the reason I got sterilized is that I don’t want to deal with raising them, knowing full well the burden would fall to me and I can’t even manage to keep myself fed most of the time (effort, not availability) and it just works in everyone’s favor?

I can feed my cats twice a day and clean their boxes once, and they manage themselves otherwise if that’s all I have the energy for. That’s called neglect with children.

My cat somehow managed to run a mouse up to the ceiling just yesterday.

I have a wall tapestry that goes to the ceiling above a dresser, which is about 3.5-4 foot tall? The tapestry only goes to the top of the dresser, and the dresser is like 2 inches off the wall (old baseboard resistive heater).

I woke up to the cat pawing at the tapestry, can’t have that. Turn on the light and see a mouse at the very top. Just chilling up there.

Caught it and threw it over the fence into my dick neighbor’s plants, where they all go. (I have a really old house, this happens)
