I had the opposite. In 2007 my mom convinced me it’s conventional wisdom to buy as much house as you can afford, because historically it is one of the best investments you can make.


Thankfully all I could afford at that time was a pretty cheap house…

I was so excited when first got a roomba 5 or 6 years ago, but that faded so fast after it turned into an endless stream of notifications that it was caught under furniture, stuck on a cliff (the edge of a rug), full of dirt, couldn’t find its base, or trapped under a maze of dining room table legs.


I love the idea, but man that was $500 wasted. I’m sure they are better now, but I cant bring myself to buy another one.

Honestly I don't know! The main level of our house is all wood floors which probably helps. But other than that we don't have any unusual cleaning practices.

Maybe I have a kind of long term nose blindness that persists for days. 🤷‍♂️

We have 2 dogs, so I get a little paranoid that our house has _dog_ smell. So it's always a relief to come back from a few days away to find that it just smells completely normal.

Not to detract from the glory of that pizza, but that’s more like 0.3 square meters.


11 square meters is literally the size of a bedroom lol

I think what they were looking for (after a cursory search of the post title) was literally gas prices, not electricity prices lol
