Sounds like I'm already in the right country then.

Seems anecdotal!

It's certainly hard to get to know your neighbours in a glass box in the sky.

Why is this aimed at ~30yo in particular?

Growing up, my parents and grandparents had the same neighbours for decades, even in apartment buildings. Of course they knew and talked to each other frequently. Hanging out in each others' apartments also happened on occasion, drinking some pálinka and listening to the radio. My dad used to go down to the ground floor to watch the evening news and story time at the superintendent's apartment along with the other children in the building. The only person who had TV in their commie block.

This already changed a bit in the late 80s / early 90s when I was growing up. People started moving around or dying. Out of the city to live in burbs. Or just left for another country. My dad was also less jovial with people as he couldn't stand stupid, so he often drove neighbours he disliked away.

Once I grew up, I moved into the apartment of my late grandparents. I still talked to my direct neighbour on a weekly basis, but by this time most everyone else died or moved away. Also I had to introduce my girlfriend now wife to my neighbour at least monthly due to her... seemingly selective dementia.

I'm in my forties now, and both at this and my previous apartment I've made sure to always say hi to neighbours. Oddly at the current place, the thirty something year old neighbours approached me first, stating they do some sort of communal hippy living here. They seemed friendly but then also moved away within a year or so.

I have a small front loader, F12B8NDA

I leave the door on it open between washing cycles.

It's a non-iot device that I can program to start the wash cycle at specific times, E.g. Load it in the evening but start at 4am so it's ready by 7am. Yes, cycles are long but it's super efficient with both electricity and water use. It's also very quiet even during spin.

It plays a cute chime when finished.

Add Sexy Losers to the list. Very defunct, but platinum.

maintain self-preservation

The simulator running us clearly did not define this restriction.

$150 for ultimate edition. And I don't even understand what this game is actually supposed to be about.

You might be on to something. I was not breast fed, and I'm not a boob person in particular.

Now we have to wait for another anecdote from someone that was breastfed.

I have the opposite experience. Hallucinations out the wazoo.

I usually end up using Llama through duck.ai
