Well looky looky, guess who just ate "6 spoons of warm oil"? Honestly it was probably more because it was a pizza hut pan pizza.

Lost in chaos!

No, this is Patrick

We have this at my work. Liquid, powder, and freezie form. It's good shit and has what plants crave!

When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either... Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it's been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.

Proportional Representation and First Past The Post

I live inside that ring. Bought a 5 bedroom house for around $100k 3ish years ago. Been putting some work into it, hoping to sell in a couple years to move even deeper into the ring.

The biggest problem is employment. I got lucky and landed a great job that pays well. The second problem is cost of food as it highly depends on location. If I drive an hour south or east, I can reduce my food costs by around 30%. Not everyone has that ability because of the bigger problem. Gas price is the 3rd biggest problem, we're on average 20-30C more per liter than outside the ring.

Then there's the actual places. So many have very poorly run municipal governments that are full of the dumbest motherfuckers around who sink entire budgets into poorly thought out capital projects and raise taxes for decades after. Poor tax enforcement so that there are many properties with years in outstanding tax debt that doesn't get collected, which leads to even larger budget shortfalls and more tax increases. Every now and then I'll see a tax sale listed for $20k+ because the owner died and no remaining family could afford to claim the property because it the outstanding tax debt.

This is why I want to move into the bush where I have no neighbours, because at least the miniscule tax burden is less of a slap in the face when I look outside and see nothing coming back from it.

I'm not, I'm also imagining an alternate timeline where their last name was Holder instead of Held

I'm trying, that's all that matters :)
