We’ve been dead set on getting something fully detached since living in an apartment style condo. There’s 0 enforcement of the little bit of laws we have as soon as it’s an apartment building. The city is 100% hands off for anything not detached. None of the laws on the books are focused on or designed with any kind of density in mind.

The condo boards are HOA’s on steroids. The rulers of these little fiefdoms don’t just fuss at your lawn and paint. They decide if/when the roof will be looked at, if they should bother to top up the emergency fund as much as suggested, etc. It’s insane. As much as we prefer the low impact of high density, it’s just not livable.

Family have tried finding apartment buildings (condo or rent) but have given up. All of them are studio, 1, or 2 bedrooms. Max seems to be ~900 sqft, which would be fine if they were square. Unfortunately they all seem to be very long and narrow. The 900sqft also includes balconies, storage spaces, and parking spots here. It’s not great.

Every apartment style condo in this city also has serious building issues. The city just signs and doesn’t inspect. The builders (major builder #451) just disappear after each build as they “go under” and the major builder they were "part of " are not considered liable since it was a subsidiary. Regulations were put in place to prevent this with detached builds but they don’t cover condos.

Until regulations make them livable I doubt we’ll see a serious adoption of them for a while here.

The pipeline was to connect Russia with Germany.

Just in case someone else is confused. I had to look it up.

Taking a full breath of air before chugging liquids. I accidentally exhaled before choking on some water once, body naturally tried to pull in air and got more water. Very much felt like drowning.

Searching “optometrist complaint canada” seems to get the different licensing bodies. Reaching out to them would likely get some action.

+1 for @[email protected], they are the primary poster in all of the niche subs I creep.

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

I would be trying to encourage chanting of pedophile.

Polygamy house?

Oh yeah polygamy house.

Bit torn. This would be amazing when I’m a bit deaf (screw you pollen season). But where is this being transcribed? I strongly suspect that even if it’s done phone side Google will send a recording and the text output to home base for “training” purposes.

Thanks for the correction! The site I was using was a site for English speakers considering moving to Turkey. It was difficult to verify with my lacking language skills.

The 850₺ was the average cost I could find while poking about restaurant listing in Istanbul so I was likely getting touristy places. It was very difficult to find a place with prices on their recent menu photos or websites as well. I suspect the places I was finding were more upscale/touristy than local.

The images of menus from ~3 years ago have prices that line up with the average monthly wages. The recent photos of menus have the prices blanked out.

The “new” price of ~850 TRY for a single serving is over 25% of the average monthly wages (2900-3200). The site providing wages doesn’t specify if that’s the average earnings before or after tax either. Prices on older menus are more like ~50 TRY for the same item.

Found the obituary. Family is requesting donations to the American Cancer society in lieu of flowers.

Happy to see something done at least. Annoyed knowing they were likely accused, and investigated due to their skin colour. As per some family there, you absolutely do not go certain places without a white friend or friends. If you’re going out by yourself you do it on crowded days and make sure you’re seen on security cameras and make note of where and when. That way when you get accused, because you will be, you’re covered.

For context they were born and raised in Switzerland, one of their parents was as well. The other parent moved there from North America and has since become a Swiss citizen about 40 years ago. The parent that moved is a visible minority and continues to have an adventure of a time.
