There's a lot to unpack here. My two cents are:

  • progressively higher property taxes for every additional one (probably with an upper limit)
  • restrictions and heavy taxes on short term rentals
  • any house that's not a permanent short term rental (with associated taxation) and has not been the object of a long term rental for some reasonable amount of time, gets forcibly put on the rental market at a government fixed rate
  • heavy fines for and seizure of properties intentionally left unoccupied to artificially inflate rents

This is not an objective opinion nor tries to be.

I absolutely used to love Ford Racing 2. Got it from a cereal box or something.

Right now, Supertuxkart

If you like puzzles, horror and all things weird, definitely try some of the games by Rusty Lake.

The entire Cube Escape series is available for free (a sort of excape the room puzzle).

What's worse

Being fined when you're not hard

Not being fined even if hard

As a former picky eater, lots of foods. Most notably sushi (used to dislike all fish), and bell peppers that moved from disgusting to delicious.

Lots of music. As most kids do (or used to before streaming was a thing) I was locked in a limited set of genres, but I've come to appreciate songs I'd have never considered back then.

I might be wrong but I remember this one as a flash game back in the day

First, don't listen to his opinions on anything that isn't about comouters and software. He doesn't have a good track record there.

Do pay attention to his takes on technology and freedom, there's a lot of food for though there.

I was at one of his talks recently, and he's definitely and eccentric fellow. When it comes to free software he's a die hard extremist, and I have a feeling he knows and to a certain extent he does that on purpose. Case in point, he mentioned how he refused hearing aids and would similarly refuse a pacemaker as there are none running on free software.

As such, that's how I take his ideas about free software: a good philosophy taken to the extreme to showcase what'd be possible if we went all in on that, and the dangers of not doing it. Definitely not something that can work for everyone, or a realistic pathway to a world of free software.

I do think, however, that someone like him is fundamental to advance the cause of free software, even if no one takes him literally and emulates his way of life.

I'm not gonna refuse a life saving treatment or device because it runs on propriety software, but I am willing to sacrifice some convenience to use a free software alternative when available.

I use my "body" towel for the cheeks and toilet paper for the crack, same ad when I shower

What happened? I've never heard of it

I've washed shoes in the washing machine a few times, using the setting for delicate clothes. So far no damage to be seen and they come out clean.

Probably not something that should be done every other day, but once in a while seems fine.

I'm a metalhead and never really played Minecraft, so I heard the Windrose cover first
