Yeah I know what you mean. Map downloads especially can take up a lot of space/take a lot of mobile data to download. I tried to copy them across manually once but it didn’t work.

Organic Maps is definitely easier to use, especially for new users but OsmAnd is more powerful. I have both and they’re awesome.
This is what can happen if you don’t get anyone to look after your house when you’re away.
It’s good that your dad is your friend. He probably really loves you and wants the best for you, which isn’t always the case with other people.
In fact I would say that your dad is probably the most important friend to have.
With that out of the way, I’d also ask: How old are you? Do you want other friends? Have you met other people that you want to be friends with? What is your definition of a ‘friend’?
You might already have friends but not think of them as such. You might be surrounded by people you don’t want to be friends with or your paths might not have crossed yet with anyone you want to be friends with.
Does your dad have friends? My first friends were people my parents introduced me to. Now most of my friends are people that other friends introduced me to. Friends have been a very social thing for me.
This just makes me angry
I get screamed at for attention sometimes, which seems like a pretty good definition of trolling. So yeah.
Yeah, sounds valid.
I think it mostly depends on whether your pet has thumbs and how tall it is.
I picked and ate a leaf of what I thought was wild garlic but it wasn’t. It felt like a bomb had gone off in my mouth. I sprinted home and washed my mouth out with everything I had, including wine and 51 pastis but nothing helped.
No permanent damage afaict.
I actually think it would be cool to be in your 70s - you can still do most things and can mostly think straight but other people think you cannot and so they don’t bother pestering you.
Any Scottish person who has gone travelling has learnt this lesson the hard way.
I think it’s easier to stay motivated when you have contact with other people. Even the OU recognises this and tries to incorporate meetups or at least video conferences.
No, I think it’s a good assessment.
I swing between A and B and find B to be most healthy and reasonable, because I have no political power as well as for my own wellbeing.
Ive tried RSS for world news but find it even more overwhelming than browsing news sites because it’s displayed more compactly and looks like an avalanche of dystopian madness if I dont open the feed for a day or two.
What I really want is a weekly or maybe bi-weekly roundup of the five or ten most important global events. If anyone knows of a feed like that please let me know!
I’ve seen this argument made by right wing economic ‘think tanks’ like the IEA and I’m not convinced, either by the reasoning or the quality of the data that’s supposed to support it. If being able to charge extortionate rent was the only way to make a profit from building houses then house building would have correlated negatively with affordable rents, which AFAIK is the opposite to the historic reality, at least here in the UK. As long as there are people who need a house to live in there will be always be demand for housing; it’s just a question of who gets to own the houses. Is it people who are living in them or people who are charging others to live in them? Right now there is a rich minority who are able to buy more and more houses because a poor majority are paying them such high rent and are thus prevented from ever saving enough for a deposit and competing in the property market. That’s why inequality is compounding.

I think severe rent control would go a long way to solving the problem here in the UK.
Make it unprofitable to exploit the fundamental need for shelter. It would allow people to build up savings and have more disposable income, so they can compete properly in the market.
It would lift up the people at the bottom at the same time as curtailing those at the top = less inequality.
It’s not like millionaires can take all the houses with them if decide to leave the country.
My advice is to spend more time out of the house! The more I stew in the epicentre of the entropy and problems the more overwhelmed I feel by them and the harder it is to tackle them. Getting out can help to get some perspective and make you appreciate what you do have.
You might find that more insulation helps if it’s condensation. You’re effectively sleeping on a hammock, so you could check out some hammock camping forums.
I had to sleep on one of those for an extended period recently and had the same problem. I highly recommend finding an alternative!
