my favorite part about being poor as hell? my childhood home's roof is water damaged in every single room and the best quote my mom got on fixing it was $20,000. :')
Not very lol but that's the plan. We've been watching a lot of youtube videos about repairing roofs, and are planning on starting to buy the materials next year. Thankfully, the the damage isn't so bad that the water isnt all coming through but we can see great big cracks that span the entire length of rooms, and wet spots. Like we can do it probably, but I'm worried we're going to monumentally screw up and its gonna collapse anyway.
The sad answer is that if she has the equity to spare she should relinquish some equity and have the work done. That sucks. You better believe that if you were renting the landlord wouldn't have that fixed.
I appreciate the advice but I don't think we have anything worth that much money except the house? Unless there's some other way to "relinquish equity"?
goddammit in any other situation that would be awesome but the fascists have to go fuck everything up
Getting more and more into classical music since I started piano again. Especially really like Dvorak, Chopin and Satie. Dont know much about Hungarian-Nationalism of the 19th century lol and what kind of influence it ended up having but Dvorak being incredibly interested in Native-American and African-American music and incorporating it into his own is incredibly interesting to me.
Hungarian nationalism had a massive effect, though mostly in the second half of the century. Looking at, say, Strauss' Ziguenerbaron as a propaganda piece emphasising the multinational and cultural nature of Austria-Hungary is a pretty interesting take.
I'm more into Opera and Vocal stuff, but been loving my Late-Rossini and Auber and Massenet recently. Still amazed they let Guillaume Tell and La Muette Di Portici out into the wild, given they basically sparked the 1830s revolutions.
that sounds wild, is there a specific track that really highlights this?
I'm not at all versed in music theory, especially of African and Native American music of the 19th century, but his 9th symphony "The New World" is where he implemented most of the ideas he got living in the US.
My initial guess was 1 million excess deaths, as a final count, once it's all over and people have time to dig into the data. Still feeling like that's about right.
It's one of the reasons that Trillbillies is my fav podcast. Light spirited socialist banter that feels like a conversation on a front porch in the woods.
I don't want to offend anyone or be sectarian, but the Shining Path and the Khmer Rouge are probably my least favorite communists.
He was literally not a socialist (or a liberal) because he thought he could transition Cambodia into communism by emptying the cities and destroying nascent industry and bringing everyone to the countryside. I guess he could maybe be described as a kind of primitivist, though not an anarcho-primitivist.
Auth-primitivist?
That sounds like a good name for a real stinker of an ideology.
I do not know much about Shining Path. I should probably read something about them.
Do you have anything that is better than Wikipedia, who basically call anything communist some sort of terrorism or fascism....
Woof, that is an hour long. I will watch that on like Monday or something.
I mean, I'll find an hour. That's the length of a podcast or an episode of prestige TV. I just don't have an hour today or tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure Amber has already been in more than a few that have. She's been doing union work a long, long time before Chapo.
