Speaking from &#39;generation rent&#39;, the properties I have lived in that were managed by large lettings agents rather than private landlords were much more stressful places to live, with a higher likelihood that repairs would not get made.<br/><br/>Private landlords are a crap shoot. I have had bad ones and very good ones. But large corporations impose blanket rules and do not care about tenants. They want to inspect more 4 times a year and are far more likely to ban pets. 2025-11-10T06:28:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswd2zg5y877jjptsa3c2k6593phkl34h8s9qszuwheyrw0m7s3l6szyrpz239l32dfjg3jsrg2v3nsvlf6fxyr70kc09jzwda0ygwu3yccsz4e7xh Harvested my first potatoes of the year.

Striking how a lot of the issues back then still affect us today. However, despite painting the filibuster as heroic in the movie, most people on both sides regard it as outdated and problematic.<br/><br/>As I understand it, what the senator did yesterday isn&#39;t strictly a filibuster as he wasn&#39;t trying to prevent voting on one specific issue, but&gt; 2025-04-02T19:16:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswfty8pstkyukfn4drz5vkt4ukyzatnz56lp8rd5ap8fe2t6u5dgszyrpz239l32dfjg3jsrg2v3nsvlf6fxyr70kc09jzwda0ygwu3yccsqsf00y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstzrdxe8qz3h0zfrzl4n0jsmgvjakzsdmvga5enpcx8cany2s2lggjy6w0a'>nevent1q…6w0a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m not familiar with the specific event (bad symptom day, will look it up) but I suspect the answer is Mr Smith Goes to Washington, which is a great film, but has thoroughly romanticised the filibuster as a heroic act. 2025-04-02T15:39:25Z
