Here in France rentals must have them, I believe. But I've never known anybody whose home caught fire. Maybe it has to do with building materials and regulations? In my région buildings are stone. My house had 90cm-thick granite walls. Radon is a bigger concern than fire.
Since you use $, I think we're an ocean apart, so I can't give you some. But def ask around at your local organic produce store, or pin a message wherever hippies / health nuts / counterculture people hang out.
Same. This week I rode the new tramway network blind in a coastal city to have adventures with Kid. We bought copper wire and made jewellry with pretty pebbles (harder than I thought.) We played Split Fiction (and like It Takes Two better.) We showed her The Good Place (she loves it, because duh.)Whe have fun.
It's awesome. Real cucumbers are so tasty. Fava beans. Squash. Spinach. Sun-warmed tomatoes. Brussel sprouts. Salads. All the herbs. All the jams, jellies, and juices. And enough apple pie filling for 40 pies. I love my life.
I don't buy stuff. I haven't bought clothes in 5+ years (new or thrifted). I pirate epubs, games, shows, and movies. I don't have any monthly subscription--no Deezer, Netflix, AppleSomething, Amazon, nothing. I grow 90% of the veggies I eat, most of the fruit. I trade for meat and bread.I've never used Uber, UberEats, Doordash, AirB&B, or any of their competitors.I'm happy.
When it's hot enough, the blades start melting. As metal slowly drops, they get lighter on the inner edge (thinner part, melts faster), and start rotating because they're not balanced anymore.
No. France's health insurance has many issues, but... I recently had to wait one whole month to get non-urgent jaw surgery at the top hospital in the country. Stayed for a week. It should cost me 50€ or so, including meds and post-op care.
I used to proofread boons on Project Gutenberg in 2004 or so. 2006 at the latest. It's internet-old.
Edit As a proofreader with 20+ years of experience, I'll leave the typo.
