It's IT. Just wear your most recently ironed pair of khakis and a collared t-shirt.

The notification bell not clearing properly is making me irrationally irritated.

It's the cost of materials and labour that is the biggest contributing factor in driving building prices up. Any solution to the shit build problem would drive prices up. More stringent licencing and better enforcement would still drive prices up as it will reduce the labour pool. There's no two ways around it. We as a society seem to have forgotten that you get what you pay for.

Those look like the perfect spots to put in mixed-use residential blocks with shops on the lower storeys and apartments above that.

At that point, we might as well nationalise the whole grid.

Let's nationalise the whole grid...

Millennials are killing commercial real estate.

Because that's where the most active NCD community is.

I suspect the construction quality is so bad because our building warranties are so laughably short compared to the expected life of the home. Iirc most states, the builder is only expected to warranty homes against major problems for up to 6 years, and it's up to the homeowner to chase down the builder (who may have gone out of business in a meantime).

If your typical family home is meant to last 30 years, the warranty should last 30 years.

My first thought was "is there enough content in the No campaign for an entire channel?". That was quickly followed by "yeah, they're going to make up all sorts of stupid shit."

Honestly they should just outright ban all private spending on this and make everything go through the AEC.

Always vote against the coalition, PHON or UAP.

And there are fears scams could increase as customers take less care and make the UK a greater target for criminals.

Then maybe the banks can step up then?

But there are plenty of scam prevention measures banks could implement. All of them make payments more of a pain in the ass and there are way too many people who would trade safety for convenience. That said I like this measure. If scam education isn't working well enough then it's time to treat people with kid gloves.

So by "very strict" it means "on demand by the CCP".
