China's cctv provides lots of educational shows. It's also well made and closer to my taste. I can buy a internet box to watch it but I don't want to buy and use such a thing so it remains outside my tv watching habit.
Taiwan's PTS and German's DW or even Japan's NHK world, though also educational, are different from cctv.
After two years of trying, the only cctv show I began to watch regularly was the new year gala, and president's new year address. That's when I would bother to connect computer to tv. I also watch Chinese drama that are popular in Taiwan but that's not the same as watching cctv directly.

Oh I misunderstood. I thought Taiwan has a channel with surveillance camera feeds. My bad.

The last part is incorrect on my part. I meant to say that this was actually similar to a bar or pub were you can try to talk your problems over drinks(or posts/memes/etc).

Some advice may be good, some may be just drunk talk. Take what you can from it. Therapy sounds bad now that I looked at it again.

How is it pathetic to engage in normal, human behavior?

Finally installed dashcam properly.

Bought simple 12V car adapter with wires, got specific pin for fuse box, put that construction into inner part of front panel, fixed with some wire and duct tape. Doesn't look good but works ok.

At least now there are no visible wires that ruin the view, and original 12V socket is free for something else. Still don't get why manufacturers don't put multiple usbs everywhere in 21st century.

Russians are such spiritual people

Anyway, just left a contract role. Was paid badly. Working another contract role now. Earning ok money now, but it's very volatile and unstable work. Hours aren't so long either. I'm trying to find something permanent and 100% remote work now.

Studying programmingz now. Was reading Mythical man month. Pretty instructive book. Also doing some Python coding exercises. I feel like my portfolio sux due to me not working on it for so long due to my last contract role. Pretty worried about that

Overall busy as always

Icons in cars are pretty popular - it isn't meme, although it is also a source of jokes about religious people and driving safety. Personally I don't know anyone with icons, but I've seen this in cars multiple times.

Last one is a good alternative for this.

Welp, I gave up after not getting good results in Mercedez on my hitchhiking trip to Paraguay, I think I could have done much better, but sadly a rain can be very demoralizing in your efforts.
I got to sleep in Concordia, a city in Entre Rios that is as loud as the capital, and Curuzú Cuatiá in Corrientes. The latter was better, got to set the tent on a public camping spot and talked to a hobo about anything. It got less comfy the second day when spiclets talked to me in their ghetto trash language, and came across another hitchhiker that was a junkie and defended Maduro's Venezuela. The kids also the morning of the next day asked me if I had any drugs, and said that their dad "didn't smoke" but got to prison.
Now I'm relying on Mercedes and used the last amount of cash to cuck out and buy a ticket back home. I know at least next time I'll fare better.
Now back to my shithole home I wish I could just move out but it's not easy, no job no money and my dad wanting me to work for him for fucking free otherwise I'm an asshole makes returning home feel not good
Also nocum 20s is going to be a really fucking hard task

Should have bought an empty plot and build a house from scratch.

I wanna build one like this. Except a little bigger and modernized, with rooms and amenities.

>>34439
what the? I selected three pictures, not one

>>34440
hah, yes, this has been a dream of mine for many years. I love the turf houses. I had the pleasure of seeing one when I visited Iceland. We have stone ruins here that look fairly simple to throw up. Next time I go see them I will take some pictures. Throwing up stone walls is surprisingly easy, you just have to follow some simple rules.

>anti-fungal treatment for the house
My anti fungal treatment is ripping the shit out and taking it to the dump. I wear a mask though. Found some more fungus today.

The wall is literally rotting. Those exposed slates are the ORIGINAL lathe and plast! I ran upstairs to check the beams to make sure the rot hadn't moved into the beams but they are fine. So probably 2-3 generations of work there with lime, lathe and plast, cement and finally pink thistle all dumped one on top the other. What a fucking mess.

Does the house have two square meters of surface you actually can use for the purpose of sleeping, eating, living?

So I would create a loft above the crossbeams. I would divide the downstairs to bathroom (toilet included) - hall - kitchen, upstairs would be a bedroom and a living room/office. Maybe some additional storage space could be gained in the upmost triangle.
The chief problem is making it not feeling cramped. Maybe a 4m by 7m inside space for the downstairs would be enough. Judging by the proportions on the photos, it still would be bigger than the original design.
Maybe I would go further and add the hall "outside" the entrance, or enlarging it in that direction, but that would need a modification of the structure to a T shape. That would add a couple of square meters.
With crampedness height also a factor. I dunno, maybe 220 cm should be a minimum height for the ceiling downstairs. We have a building with about 2m, and feels bearable, but I don's spend much time in there.
Another issue is the windows and natural light coming in (also could add to the cramped feeling if it's not enough).
Third problem is the floor. Gravel is too... outdoorsy for the indoors in case a structure which is built for living and not working. It's only pro that it massages the soles nicely when walking on it barefoot.
Fourth: plumbing and electricity, but that wouldn't be much more different than a "normal" house.
Next one is the heating. Maybe a hearth-like furnace downstairs at the wall opposite the door and a couple of radiators (one in the bathroom, another upstairs - the hot water pipe would go through the kitchen) would be enough.
Not exactly the last one (there's some minor, for example one cannot nail a nail into the stone walls), but probably it's more important than the chief problem: foundation...
Oh, actually the most important: plans usually have to be handed in for an inspection, and get a permit. Not sure they would allow me to build this. I don't know what are the bureaucratic regulations telling about the process.

Some more hacking today. The stones were literally wet under the mortar. Will investigate the hidden room later but vid related.

Oh yeah, it's stone, granite mostly with some slate like for the lintels. Stone walls need a certain kind of love but are very solid and very thick. I will be leaving them to dry out some now before plastering.

I went up into the secret room but sadly, no treasure. I had hoped the geezer living here before might have hidden something up there but no. Speaking of the poor old sod though, taking off the wallpaper revealed lots of mould. Think of breathing that in for years, sad.
Also, one of the slate lintels doesn't look too clever so I am going to have to be a bit careful around that area so I don't collapse anything.
