The biggest benefit would be to learn more about how unix systems work from the ground up. I’d say if you’ve had no problems ever with systemd then just stick to it. My linux usage predates systemd (by a lot) and I just want options kept open so I’m never forced onto it against my will.
Whatever. Your 80s are for raising your great grandchildren after your kids became drug addicts and had a bunch of grandkids that you raised who went on to become drug addicts who have a bunch of great grandkids that nobody can be bothered to raise but you.
I don’t know about this, but the non occupant owners should have to pay obscene property taxes and then reduce the rates for owner-occupants to a reasonable level.
I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.
I used to make 80k in a career I hated working 55 hours a week (salary). I now make 50-75k (lots of OT available) working about 20 hours a week and watching Kodi/listening to audiobooks the rest of the time. I feel like I definitely upgraded.
I was in corporate middle management and now I am a plant operator at a water treatment facility. I also had a crap 401k after 15 years of max contribs at the last job whereas now I’ll retire with a decent pension.
As someone who worked on multi family property development for fifteen years–for the love of God, force the developers to build to a standard. Simply requiring that the landlords pay all utilities would go a long way toward this, since it would incentavise building a better structure.
US mortgage rates jumped this week, climbing closer to 7%. The move follows last week’s rate hike from the Federal Reserve, and the downgrade this week by Fitch Ratings agency of US sovereign debt, and of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Same wrt buying a house at the right time. We do plan on selling ours though at or close to retirement. We’re both working pension jobs so we’ll just buy a modest RV and live off of our retirements + the proceeds from the eventual house sale (if there’s still an America and American market at that point). That’s the plan, anyway.
My taxes have doubled in the six years we’ve had our house. Mortgage + taxes + insurance are still way cheaper than what dickbag landlords want to charge for an apartment half this size in the current market. It helps that I’m a DIYer and can fix pretty much anything that goes wrong with the house.
I don’t know what to say. You sound screwed but could have been screwed much worse. Sorry or congrats?
I think the bottom line is that almost everyone is screwed the way things are going. I’m screwed a lot less than other people since I got in at a (comparatively, now) low purchase price and great interest rate. My home insurance company has surprisingly not increased it’s rates for the last two years as well, so that’s a silver lining I suppose.

It started in the US with car lots as far as I can tell. Apartment communities are definitely getting into it these days. Basically any business which does business by being shitheads who have a ton of empty or nonsensical one-liner 5 star reviews on google are buying reviews.
I’m sure he is quite right that the CEO has never played D&D though. Or any other game. He was produced in a lab and spends every waking moment (which are all of them since they engineer CEOs not to need sleep) devising ways to be an even more terrible facsimile of a human.
