My 30 sq m (320 sq ft) flat is valued at around $350k, bought it almost 7 years ago for around $230k. People tell me I've made a killing on the real estate market, I tell them "sure, if I sell it and live on the street". Incidentally, just today UBS listed my little town as the third most overvalued in the world. Vancouver is still number one though.

Hahaha when I lived in Korea, my apart-uh was probably around that size, maybe a little smaller. For one person it's perfectly fine. Just find excuses not to be at home, and not to be a loving goonlord computer addict.

Inzombiac posted:My smallest apartment was 600 sq. feet. To live in half of that? Lol in my undergraduate days I lived for 4 months in a converted high-rise office building where my flat was 170 sq ft, 1/4 of which was taken up by a wheelchair accessible bathroom (I'm not disabled). I paid IIRC a bit over $800 a month for it. The same building also contained 260 sq ft "family flats" for $1500 a month. Now I sleep in a mezzanine double bed that's built into the room, which allows me to have a full-sized desk, a full-sized sofa and a sitting area, where three of four people can sit on cushions/the carpet, and loads of books. It helps that the ceiling is over 11 ft high though. I can comfortably seat three in the kitchen, four is a squeeze though. I don't have a bathtub. My town has the same geographical problem as Vancouver - what's historically and culturally defined as the "city" is surrounded on three sides by water, and one side by protected/royal parkland. Except unlike Vancouver people here seem to have a grudge against tall buildings - there are only 8 or 9 building with more than 10 floors, three of which are residential. Of course what saved us is that Chinese money isn't flooding in. Shanghaied has a new favorite as of 15:37 on Sep 28, 2016 |

 Okay. I don't go out much so the idea of spending nearly all my free time in a single tiny room would feel like prison.However, my ideal place would be a huge loft/studio that I can section off with dividers like I'm playing a really expensive version of The Sims.

I HATE HATE HATE when people have decorative balls on a tray in their house or a jar full of Pier 1 bullshit. So, when I recently had to buy a pack of 6 decorative wicker balls (even though I only need one for a costume) I don't know what to do with the others. I also bought an armband for my Nexus 6P (a giant phone) because I can't have it in my pocket when I run. Now I don't have an excuse

From ebay I bought a 14 year old Digital8 camcorder so I can convert someone else's home movies to mp4 files, then two pairs of velour headphone pads for my Sony MDR-V600's at home and work since the ones they come with are flaking and my wife keeps finding black crap all over my head.

Spy_Guy posted:I've been curious about getting some of that. What's the point of rolling it into balls rather than just keeping it loose-leaf? Rolling renders the leaves less susceptible to physical damage and breakage and allows them to retain more of their flavor and aroma. In addition, it allows certain types of oolong teas to be aged for decades if they are cared for by being occasionally roasted.
