  • a half bath is a toilet+sink. A 3/4 bath is a toilet, sink, and shower (but not a tub). 3/4 bath can be fuzzy: if it’s the only bathroom in the home, it will often be called a full bath.

    I’m not sure if we had to pay an estate sales tax when we bought this place. We pay town taxes every 6 months automatically through our mortgage. We also paid a recording fee for the town to record the condo sale. There were a lot of fees, tbh.

    And yes, you got me, I heard about German kitchens from YouTube.


  • Not the person you’re responding to, but I think they mean they’re non-(vegetarian/vegan), so both not a vegetarian and not a vegan.

    And I do get them on liking black bean burgers but not liking the impossible burger. Black bean burgers aren’t trying to imitate a beef burger, they’re trying to be an easy way to put black beans on a burger bun. On the other hand, if you want a beef burger and are handed an impossible burger, you might be disappointed because they’re not the same.

    To blatantly put words in [email protected] 's mouth: “Eat meat if you want meat, eat veggies if you want veggies, eating veggies disguised as meat leads to a mismatch of expectations which leads to disappointment.”


  • Yep. For example, search for parcel “176-194-030” in the Hartford, CT tax assessor’s search. It should bring up a McDonald’s fast food building (I chose that because it’s less creepy than singling out some random person’s home.)

    There’s even a little drawing of the building. The purple is the first floor and the blue is the “canopy” or, I guess, awning outside. The “interior” tab on this site doesn’t list the kitchen quality, but does say the insulation is “typical” and 40% of the building has sprinklers. My guess is different cities and towns track different things in their tax assessments.

    Oh! IIRC, Germany has the thing where the kitchen doesn’t stay with the house. In the USA, they’re firmly attached.
