Getting a new roof installed tomorrow. $65,000-$85,000 depending on how much plywood is needed. All I can think about is how many ESP/PRS/Anderson etc I could have bought.

Just read the news that someone got stabbed and robbed in broad daylight (well, 8pm but it's still daylight at that time at this time of the year) just 0,3 miles away from my place last Saturday. How the fuck am I supposed to go on for a walk during the winter when it's dark 99% of the time if that shit happens even when the sun is up. And no, I'm not paying 50€ a month for a gym membership. Would be cheaper to buy a treadmill to home but I can't really fit one in my crappy apartment. Maybe I'll just buy a flip knife for self-defense (in Minecraft). #3rdworldproblems #fuckstreetcrime

Any additional context on that one? Sometimes it's totally random and sometimes it's pervasive but typically it seems to be one or two known brazen dickheads around the neighborhood.

Counterpoint, how important is a roof really? Maybe just erect a little tent village inside on a more practical budget
