Cutting Costs As a Landlord Without Compromising On Quality
As a landlord, you have several responsibilities and necessities that you have to fulfil and while some are cost-free, others can rack up a bill if not handled properly. Everything from insurance to maintenance costs and mortgage fees can all add up and cutting costs can feel like a necessity. However, it’s important not to cut costs in the wrong places – poor insurance, reduced maintenance or…

If you're considering reducing your possessions and embracing a minimalist lifestyle, there are many benefits - including saving money every day. Here are 3 reasons to consider letting go of some of your belongings if you're moving house or want to cut co
Collaborative feature There are many positive reasons to join the minimalism movement. Not only does a decluttered home help you to feel more calm but it can also save you time – if everything is organised and each item has a place of its own, you’ll always be able to find the things you need quickly and it will take you much less time to tidy your home. And, as they say, time is money! Also,…

I SIGNED UP FOR THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM!
it's 7 courses, roughly 20 hours each, at the culmination of which I'll have to hand in a 25k novella for a panel of Canadian authors to evaluate. so obviously I'm going to write about an ancient demon who swallows the soul of a baby and enters its body, only to get trapped and essentially regress, so that its generals have to hover around nervously trying to parent it.
#aghhhhh I was just thinking about how I need to cut costs and now I'm going back to school 😭 but I'll make it work#only got the one life

I'm debating starting a youtube. One of the things I love about learning how to do stuff is sharing the process and skills involved with people and that seems to be the preferred platform for that kind of thing; I find that with a lot of what I'm making it's so niche or weird that there's not easily findable tutorials on how to do what I want to do, so maybe it would help if I made them? Tiktok is okay as a quick and easy way to slap process videos together but I kind of hate it and I also don't like how unsearchable and short-lived content is there.
Youtube would be a lot of work, and I'm not convinced it would be worth the effort, but on the other hand, if I could get some traction there, it would be nice to have passive ad revenue to offset project costs without having to directly sell the random crap I'm making.
I dunno, guys. This site has been home for my art for a long time, and I don't see that changing, but it would be nice to have resources to put into some of the larger projects that aren't directly sellable.
#there is so much I wish i could do if i could justify the cost of the projects#and i can already do a lot! I'm not complaining#but ugh#marketing art. not the most fun.#and to do it properly i would need to spend some decent money on camera gear#because my phone would not cut it#still not putting my fucking face on the internet though

You know those wooden dinosaur skeleton models you can buy from museum gift shops, that are usually simple and variably off-model? I used to have a tripod Tyrannosaurus back when I was a kid decades ago.
So there's a company in Chile that makes those, but scientifically accurate! Wonder Artistic Models. I've known about them for couple years now, I think, but after losing my job couldn't afford to buy one.
Untill now.
They had a pretty big discount campaign last month and hey, guess how that went.
Oh, boy, let's see how well this goes!
#the models themselves aren't actually too expensive most of the time#but fedex shipping to Finland cost about the same as the model itself#(more actually since the model price was discounted)#145 pieces oh boy!#the laser cut wood smells nice though!#the jaw and skull are articulated!#and tail has couple joints too

as a 16th century clergyman what does machete think of the printing press
I think by the time he was born the printing press had been around for almost a century and a half, so I'd reckon the society as a whole was largely past it's initial novelty and controversy. Machete himself is bookish and nerdy, he's very invested in gathering knowledge about various topics and trying to piece together a good picture of how the world works. Getting access to reading material would be a lot harder if every book was still copied individually by hand. His standards are pretty high though, there's a lot of poorly translated, shoddily printed and flimsily bound books around and he's prone to scrunching his nose at them.
#his relationship with faith is kind of fraught and unhealthy#but as a top ranking cleric he's nonetheless fiercely protective of the church's interests that's his job#the reformation and the invention of the printing press enabled people to start spreading bootleg vernacular translations of the bible#suddenly folks had a chance to read the holy book in a language they could understand (if you were lucky enough to be literate at least)#this was a big deal remember it used to be only in latin and essentially gatekept by priests#not to mention you could now buy a copy of your own the cost of books had crashed they weren't necessarily rare luxury items anymore#you don't just go and cut out the middleman that's not how this is supposed to work#distressing times in the catholic church#answered#anonymous

ok last post of the day
I still think Ludinus is delusional with this tape because like. He's trying to convince a dysfunctional family of fuck-ups that a dysfunctional family of fuck-ups isn't worth saving.
someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his whole point is "the gods destroyed Aeor rather than destroying their siblings which would have been the easy solution that would've ended the war"
but the thing Ludinus isn't getting is that Bells Hells would understand the gods. They almost killed each other over a sword like two nights ago. Laudna has an evil dead lady in her head slowly gaining more and more control over her. Orym is destroying himself to get the job done. Imogen is a couple rock bottoms away from being a vessel for Predathos. Fearne's daddy issues might end the world. Chetney refuses to talk about his problems until they are staring him down. But they will not do the "easy" thing. They will not get rid of each other because the idea of that is so unfathomable that they would rather try and fail to save each other than succeed at anything less noble. So Imogen and Laudna try and make a relationship work. The whole group agrees to at least try to communicate. Orym protects them, even though logically he should probably neutralize at least some of them in the best interest of the world. Fearne relies on her friends to tell her the right path. Chetney makes them gifts and slowly unravels the hidden parts of himself.
it's not whether the gods are right or wrong. It's not "poor wizards" or "the gods should have just left". Morality has always been a shifty thing in this campaign, so at this point I think it's out of the equation. Now what matters is what Bells Hells see when they look at this tape. Do they see what Ludinus sees, a bunch of illogical decisions that ended a great (read: dystopian) wizard city? Or do they see themselves reflected in gods-made-mortal?
(and for the people who really want to talk about the morality of this, I'm now like 95% sure Predathos is not going to stop with the gods so we have the end of the world to contend with)
#i love grey morality#i eat that shit up for every meal of the day#but again this comes down to Ludinus cutting off all meaningful relationships#and therefore not understanding a family that will stick together at all costs#you can't show a group of people a reflection of themselves#and expect them to agree to killing it#cr downfall#critical role#critical role downfall#bells hells#cr3#cr spoilers

Cutting Costs In Your Trade Business The Right Way
Times are tough and with costs constantly rising, you certainly wouldn’t be alone in searching for ways to cut down your outgoings. If you work in a trade, everything from licencing and legal fees to construction materials and tool costs can add up and leave you out of pocket if not managed properly. While it can be tempting to reach for cheaper materials or to drop outgoing costs like insurance…

4 Hidden costs to consider when buying a house
Even though it might appear to make sense to buy rather than rent, to move to an area where property is cheaper or to downsize to save money on your mortgage, there may be some hidden costs you should consider before buying a house - is the move worth it?
Collaborative feature When I was looking to buy my first home, it made financial sense; we were paying more on rent than it would have cost to mortgage the same kind of house. We also had a deposit saved but our savings were earning little-to-no interest. And, most importantly, our budget would cover the associated monthly bills. But that was 6 years ago and things have changed a lot since we…

"When the publisher of Sports Illustrated and Men’s Journal announced last week that its magazines would start to publish AI-generated articles, its CEO assured readers that the practice wouldn’t result in a decline in quality."
Men's Journal's AI-generated article: 18 serious factual errors
CNET's AI-generated articles: rampant factual errors and also plagiarism
Using AI to generate articles is the modern journalistic equivalent of selling "strawberry jam" made of red dye and no strawberries

there's nothing orym would ask of the other hells that he wouldn't do himself, which is sort of the problem, really
#critical role#cr spoilers#orym of the air ashari#bells hells#if you don’t have a homegrown curse you can use to your advantage (moon powers) storebought is fine (deal with a hag)!#and its not even sunk cost fallacy or feeling like he needs to make the deal worth it i think. this is just what he feels is necessary#and its his own self worth and the value he places on his own life vs the importance of this cause. reflected back on the others#how the rest of the hells have adopted this mindset but with wavering conviction and doubt - not really fitting quite right#while it fits orym like a glove. bc that's who he is. it's what he's been taught. bc this conflict is his past and his present#and as far as he's considered it. his future!#me this morning: i will not get back into orymposting. orymposting is the mind killer.#me now:#eta: i guess this could be disputed by him saying fearne would have to be the one to take imogen out pre-solstice.#but i've always seen that as a purely practical 'who would actually be capable of doing this' issue as opposed to sentimentality.#he was fully ready to cut dorian in exu. however he may feel about the act his resolve is not an issue!

I know everyone and their mother has given their opinion on the watcher situation, but as someone who is critical of this decision, I want to make it clear: no one is saying that they don't deserve to be paid a living wage. what people ARE saying is that there had to be a better way to do this.
if they truly needed money they could have:
promoted their patreon more
do a hybrid model where less "advertiser friendly" shows could be behind a paywall
release recordings of their live shows for money
advertised perks for joining youtube premium
be open and honest about needing money and asking for donations via gofundme or kickstarter or however they chose
there are people willing to spend money on them. The amount of patrons, the number of people who buy merch, and those who pay to go to live shows, should prove that. those who say otherwise are misunderstanding the situation, or maybe even purposefully misrepresenting it
#watcher#ryan bergara#shane madej#steven lim#i really don't understand why they thought this would be the next step#if they wanted to do this#they should have waited a few years#i want to see their spreadsheets bc they could also cut costs somehow#like 100k for a ghost files episode is crazy
