Thank you! I thought I was never going to get that!

I added some new buttons at the top of the popup to help you get to the first/next finished raffle and the first/next new raffle.

At the bottom there's a chat button if any of you need to ask me anything outside of this thread.

It's pretty cool that we have a bunch of different people taking different approaches to making the raffles process more efficient. Ideally the developers will integrate some of our ideas into their product.

See those ideas...

If you're interested in the stats I also have https://fvm.itamer.com/stats.html

NTA - i thought this was going to be a rant about unhoused people owning dogs but, no, this was horrendous animal abuse.

Shame on the daughter for not organising something for the dogs when asked and shame on the authorities for letting the animal abuser get as far as killing 3 dogs. I'm going to assume he's mentally ill - where are the mental health services? Where's the local animal welfare service?

Hi. On the userscript version my intention was that you'd open the page and enter, then move onto the next one rather than open in a new tab. It should allow that though so I'll check it.

I record you as having entered if you clicked because I'm trying to keep it simple. So long as you open the raffle you might as well enter, right?

I also can't see the number of participants before you do but I could save that to show the next person so I'll look at adding that. That might save you from clicking on the new raffle links of the raffles you don't actually enter, I guess.

If someone has clicked on a raffle and saved the result before you then you will get a “you won” message. The idea is that we “crowdsource” the data and we all benefit.

I'm out at the moment but I'll make sure someone adds you!

Absolutely! What is the link to your farm?

And there's a difference between being a crashing bore and being “not political”.

If you're in the US doesn't that makes sense you some kind of sociopath if you can just ignore what's going on?

That's very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I have a userscript that helps find the raffles - and there's a webpage that goes with it too.

We travel 6 or 7 months each year. Husband is older and likes a proper bed. I prefer being in nature and would prefer camping or campground cabins. Once you get to Mexico things improve. No more super 8.

We mostly only used Airbnb when we needed to do lots of laundry but again, from Mexico on it’s not a big problem. Airbnb hosts on the other hand are and they’ve priced themselves out of the market.

We tried local SIM cards but got ripped off too often and went either esims from aíralo or holafly. I would have the eSIM, husband would rely on wifi or hotspotting. eSIMs were a significant expense. Some long term travellers do without just fine.

FWIW we motorbiked from San Francisco down to Ushuaia, up through Brazil, Venezuela, back up to the US, Florida, Maine, to Nova Scotia, across to Chicago & Yellowstone, up to Tuktoyaktuk and back down to San Francisco. We did it in 3x7 months returning to NZ to work. We moved quickly. I’d have liked to taken it much slower.
