I spent the last week in COVID isolation at home with my partner and once the annoying symptoms went away it was glorious.

Now that we all know how to survive lockdowns, it’s a lot easier the second time around (grocery deliveries, online casual games with friends, etc)

Rest is radical

Several cities, including Paris and Grenoble in France, São Paulo in Brazil, and Chennai in India have taken concrete steps in this direction. In São Paulo, ads are banned from certain parts of the city, and in Paris, they are prohibited near schools.

Several more cities are following suit, with a growing ad-free movement aiming to make cities a better place to live. ‘Adfree Cities,’ a UK-based nonprofit, is one such example. Cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff are part of its network, attempting to drastically reduce the amount of urban advertising

This is an excellent trend, and one that only lobbyists would fight against.

Since the online advert bubble seems to be bursting, I’m going to take that as a glimmer of hope. And until then, VPN maximus, ads be gone!

Unfortunately it seems like refrigerators are the appliance that is just known to die the fastest now. I searched high and low for a good warranty but even the higher end fridges don’t get them these days. And the Samsung 10 year warranty is a bandaid for the lawsuits they’re facing.

You’ve clearly done your research cause the first thing to die in a fridge is always the ice maker 👍

Renovations.

I feel lucky to have already been a homeowner before COVID. I have no interest in buying/selling again, despite our house being considered a “starter home”. So after we suffered major water damage over winter we just made our kitchen hella nice.

Also, look up Speed Queen.

I wish more people understood that rural life is really freaking hard, especially if you don’t already have connections.

It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account

I think you’re both right. We need more building designed to be flex spaces. It’s impossible to guess what we need 20 years from now. Let’s make sure new construction can handle a wide range of use.

Can you elaborate on this?

I can’t WFH so I haven’t really kept up with the trend

You ok there bud?
