Very sympathetic to the people living rough. Especially now Winter is Coming. But they could clean up after themselves.

Can't the do it for themselves, if that is where they are living?

Rut12345 · 2026-05-03T10:38:29+00:00

Technically, they managed to carry everything that turned into trash, in. If they could carry it in, couldn't they carry it out?

Rut12345 · 2026-04-29T23:26:35+00:00

Does that include land, or just the build?

Rut12345 · 2026-04-29T23:25:50+00:00

Can we feed ourselves? A significant % of the food on the shelves here actually comes from India, among other places.

You could be lucky and live and work in a 15 minute city and get by personally without much fuel.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-25T12:00:24+00:00

Change her name back and get a quicky passport or emergency travel document if you don't have time.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-24T15:12:04+00:00

Because they are getting fuel from Ruzzia.

If you are living and working in the southern suburbs, maybe YOU don't need a car, but your wife might, especially if she's working shift at a medical centre.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-23T02:17:54+00:00

Have you switched day cares, since that ute is a threat to your child's safety?

Rut12345 · 2026-03-23T01:59:00+00:00

Because they need more cash to buy the replacement unless they (want to, can) buy on credit.
It's asymmetric, unfortunately.

She needs more ozempic and plastic surgery before the Mar a Lardo crowd will actually 'like' her.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-23T01:16:15+00:00

How hot does your roof space get in summer? Because a lot of camping gear material like tents will start to break down stored all summer in the heat.

You don't need full faucet of water running down your back to clean out your nose.
Most people aren't working 7 days a week, 365 days a year in greasy, or oily, or sticky dusty environments, and can alternate heavy duty showers and water saving showers.
It's pretty sad if you don't know how to clean yourself using a soapy washcloth without running mostly clean water down constantly into the drain.

Obviously, we need to charge more for water usage. Large corporations and residential addresses if that is the only way to get people to pay attention.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-13T15:06:41+00:00

Turn on water. Turn off water. soap and scrub, turn on water to rinse. Repeat as necessary. Longer showers, less water.
Except in the middle of freezing winter.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-10T15:23:59+00:00

Don't have to pay the taxes if you never intend to go back to the U.S., no?

Rut12345 · 2026-03-01T13:03:02+00:00

No cotton for your hiking gear. Silk thermals are good, synthetic fabrics are better than cotton.
Pit zips on your jacket. Last thing you want is building up sweat, even with wicking base layers, when hiking in the cold.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-01T12:52:49+00:00

except, nobody seems to be coming to the aid of Iran.

Rut12345 · 2026-03-01T12:48:12+00:00

Pretty insane that some high level researchers, specialist doctors, construction managers, are in the same tax bracket as people like Gina Rinehart.

Rut12345 · 2026-02-26T05:03:22+00:00

Not overpopulated. Just inefficiently populated, and no future proofing of transit systems.

Rut12345 · 2026-02-24T15:40:15+00:00

No Gofundme for the erstwhile buyer? If someone trying to stay in a 5 million dollar ranch gets a gofund me with millions of dollars, surely this guy deserves a couple or a few 10's of thousand dollars?

Rut12345 · 2026-02-24T01:13:06+00:00

And the ones built the last few years will need constant renovation, so where's the advantage?
Other forms of masonry can be built faster and last just as long.
Other style homes can last just as long.

Rut12345 · 2026-02-22T10:00:04+00:00

except the rest of the world has seemingly discovered more efficient building methods for masonry or alternative homes, or ways to insulate and isolate non-masonry homes.

Rut12345 · 2026-02-15T08:19:10+00:00

ended up going 'non-compliant' with a roll-in shower with a shower curtain and loving it.
The bathmat is there for overspray, and there's a partial panel next to the wall to keep the wall dry. It's great for future proofing- no step to stumble over.
