The least surprising result ever. Lula is for Brazil what Biden was for Americans. An old guy introduced as a compromise candidate after an idiot. And of course he decided to run again.

Alternatively you could go to the nearest bishop and start talking how his church is not a representative of God, and you’re about to start your own church. And there’s 2 Gods anyway.

How don’t they have a backup method? There must be someone around with a gun? Double tap just in case, even if the chemical method seems to work.

If you must execute people, at least have the decency to do it properly.

And she’s now at the hospital where they are trying to keep her alive. Like can’t they decide? Do you want her to die or not?

Phrasing here is what’s weird. Who exactly is the target audience of buyers?

If they called it “animal crematorium” or “carcass incinerator”, it would make sense for veterinary clinics and farms. Who tf searches for “pet incinerator”?

Sierra Leone became a country before Slovenia. First come first serve.

Finally something I can be good at!

Like, one by one, or all 14 at once? How does the logistics work here?

Not necessarily against bot-posted news, but please consider reducing the frequency, or doing daily summaries of Empordà news.

This community is almost dead anyway, a large quantity of bot-posted news articles will not help revive it, it will only make it appear overtaken by spam.

How would that work with apartment buildings?

The same way it works right now. You own your apartment and share in the ownership of common spaces.

The question tells me you’re not from Spain. In other jurisdictions it might require modifying laws to allow for outright ownership of apartments, which complicates the issue somewhat. But it’s beneficial anyway, I can’t imagine not legally being able to own an apartment.

Who would be responsible for bankrolling this?

I was thinking government backed 0% loans to tenants who actually occupy an apartment. The amount fixed to the taxable value at the moment the law was passed. You would still keep paying the same amount as rent, but it would go toward paying off the loan. I admit it would take decades to complete.

I’ve given this quite a lot of thought.

• Limit ownership of housing to physical persons only, and even then up to 3 units (nationally).
• Create a program of divestment, without capital loss, for people and companies currently above the limit.
• Simplify planning permissions for new construction, and especially full building renovations.
• Abolish tax on buying/selling of real estate, compensate by increasing property tax.
• Abolish previous failed laws - like minimum affordable units per building, it just acts as an implicit tax on construction.
• Government should participate in construction in some capacity, but it shouldn’t be the main investor.

The goal of all this is to redirect capital from owning to construction. If you’re a capitalist who wants to do capitalist stuff you can still earn a profit, but produce a social benefit in the process.

No no no. You need to start by explaining the evolution of mapmaking, before focusing on the monsters.
Non-map people don’t have enough background on maps, so you must provide that first.

Again with the same approach of symbolic half-assed measures that don’t address anything.

Extending leases and banning evictions for 2 years will not reduce prices, or create more housing. It will only delay bad PR of evicting old ladies until the next election is over.

Romania, what’s going on with you?

The grave was borrowed from a guy known as Joseph of Arimathea.

It was more like - the rent is way too high, I’m outta here.

At one point I did an improvised extraction of THC into olive oil. I significantly underestimated what 0.5g of weed contains when the majority is not wasted by burning it.

Tolls should be proportional to vehicle (maximum) weight. Doesn’t matter where, it’s a good way to charge tolls.

Even from a highway-lover perspective it makes sense - the damage vehicles do to the road surface increases with axle load exponentially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law

Both are related. Had a job interview. It was a good interview, in the sense of being interesting to do. One of the few enjoyable job interviews ever.
But I have no idea if I passed, and will be terribly anxious for the upcoming week or so, and get an even worse hit to self confidence if I didn’t.

All combinations are possible
