@Baku woah that's an interesting backstory thanks. I was thinking like "me=stable parents, him=military parents" level of detail lol.
I was asking coz I've noticed that I (child of hippies, always movin') have a lot in common with children of military folks (always posted elsewhere, always movin'), and wondered if you'd hit a parallel dynamic.

@Baku @Seagoon_
If you don't mind me asking, what (broadly speaking) are your respective backgrounds that led to you both moving round a lot and changing schools >yearly etc?

@maegul @vividspecter
Yeah... I'm a100% YIMBY, but the issue I'm seeing for Straya is our status quo of large property developers calling the planning shots can't lead to any of the good outcomes some parts have Europe have seen (e.g. Vienna) and instead seem to point towards entrenching the growing divide between those who can afford a house and those who can't.

@CEOofmyhouse56 we're so surrounded by screens... I just never saw the point in buying another screen where someone else schedules the programming.

I've never owned a TV
I've never owned a cat
I've never bungee jumped

@useless_modern_god @Seagoon_ let the right one in

@Duenan @RustyRaven I went thru a "half a shot of decent espresso plus a bit of decaf instant powder so it doesn't taste too weak" phase when tapering

@MeanElevator @RustyRaven cutting down slowly is very wise

one a week because I hate fun and life

@RustyRaven @CEOofmyhouse56 I'm 49 and heavily addicted to caffeine but take a few months break every 12-18 months. My time from decaf to more energized is 5 weeks.
