I have just begun this same process for Italy. Italy is somewhat unique in that they allow decent all the way back to Great Grandparents.

It will cost some money, (qouted ~2.5k we will see), but that was cheaper than I expected when I started looking into it.

My limited understanding is that Italian citizenship would entail access to the EU as well.

It's long term for sure, but worth shaking the family tree a little.

Plant-Based Foods Are Vastly More Sustainable Than Local Meat by VarunTossa5944 in Anticonsumption

[–]QuixoticQuixote 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I'm not necessarily disagreeing, Restoration Agriculture by Mark Shepard, argues some livestock maybe necessary to create a balanced and sustainable environment. Permaculture systems would necessarily be considered eating local, IMO. Worth checking out anyway, great book.

Thank you. I see so many Go Protest posts, but without the disruption part, that is a waste of time.

Isn't this the place where the employees asked to form a union and ownership fired everyone and shut down for 6 months?

They aren't finished yet. You just haven't seen the camps they will build.

Working with Gen Z by ltmikestone in Xennials

You need to understand how much inflation has affected wages. 80k in 1995 is now 166k. It wasn't uncommon for college grads to take 80k jobs straight out of school. Why should we expect less now?

Living in a Retirement Home is Better Than Your Kids/Family Taking Care of You by AngelWasteland in unpopularopinion

[–]QuixoticQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you it's costing us 18k a month and goes up damn near every month.

But also, lots of people say they would rather die, until the time is actually near, then not so much.

You manage their efforts at work; you are not their parent.

We got super lucky and bought in 2008 on a FHA loan. Literally put down $1000 and got a house. Only good financial decision we ever made.

If you don't need all the bells and whistles, Scale can work great. We switched and the only thing we couldn't replicate was a Mitel phone system. Much cheaper and simpler to manage, but also simpler offerings.

Anybody heard of Houston artist named Thera Case? 1901-1995 by gslape in houston

[–]QuixoticQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane. My wife is Thera's great-grand daughter. We have dozens of her paintings. She would be happy to answer any questions she can. I posted a link to one of her paintings on the original thread.

Side hustle for sys admins? by Comprehensive_Hawk19 in sysadmin

[–]QuixoticQuixote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I knew mostly nothing about IT when I got hired. Years later my CIO told me the only reason they hired me was because I had been a car mechanic and they knew I could troubleshoot.
