A plan to stop climate collapse in our current situation can be nothing less than a revolutionary plan. The necessary emission cuts to stop climate breakdown are incompatible with any sort of capitalist normality.

Hi Guys, I bought a 1977 built house which was last sold for $390k in 2019 and I paid $650k. After moving in we found the cabinet drawers were broken and the house had plumbing issues which will cost up to $2k to fix. Surely I am not the only one who had these issues. Anyone else want to share their story ?
So far no suprises, aside from the cost. $11k to replace the guttering and fascia, $120 to redo the verandah posts that had rotted (DIY with a saw, stirrups and 3 masonry blocks) $1.5 k to replace broken shed frame, $6k for insulation $1.5 k to fell a massive pine 5m from the house, $3k for some rewiring work, and lots and lots of DIY stuff.
Would like solar but that’s a massive job, considering we’re super frugal with power not really a thing high on the list (needs to be on the near by shed which has no power as the house roof gets no sun, accept some minor southern sun as it’s tree shaded.

Yeah, caught out the first.time. Now I never OK the update until I am about to close.down, which is a bulahit workaround but there it is. Why can’t it be downloaded with a pop uo notification saying install the update now or wait until you reboot?
