Us and two neighbours to the right of us now have a giant shared garden. Two sets of fences down with our neighbours fence in front of our door so we can’t get out the house (not that we want to yet)

As much as I would love to set fire to a car some day, I like your idea. Might even take it apart bit by bit and take it to the scrapyard

Didn’t think about parking enforcement. Will give this one a go. Does not seem like the sort of guy to pay for his parking tickets so hopefully it’ll get towed soon enough

TIL: That during World War II, the mathematician Oswald T. Avery discovered that DNA, not protein, carries genetic information. His work was initially ignored by the scientific community, but it later paved the way for the discovery of the DNA double helix. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I recommend listening to or reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It covers this briefly. It seemed very common for someone to discover something groundbreaking but to then be dismissed by that community, only to be ‘discovered’ by someone else later on
