    Thought about it a little more and, following some testing, I concluded that it must have been the snow golem from the slime farm. Snowballs break decorated pots, so a stray snowball must have been yeeted from the slime farm towards my poor rubbish bin, which caused it to break and despawn.

    I shall be filing a formal complaint to the OSHA about this, @GravySleeve!!1!!!11!

    Technically I have an unlimited food source (mushroom stew from my mooshrooms), but when I'm outside Shroomlandia (which is pretty often, tbh) or travelling, I tend to grab food from the "free food" town chest because mushroom stew doesn't stack. And there's hella fish in the free food chest :P

    Indeed, I noticed that the decorated pot with a sign slapped on top, which I was using as a (decorative) "rubbish bin" for the mushroom embassy, suddenly disappeared without a trace. /co inspect and /co near sadly returned no information. It says I placed the block, it says nothing about anyone removing it.

    There was no log anywhere near, weirdly enough. I assumed it was a prank from you or something, because the logs said I placed it, but not that anyone broke it... Weird!

    This probably doesn't fit your criteria, but maybe JCS - Criminal Psychology? Not eerie in the "horror movie" sense, but still

    Say, @teaearlgraycold, might you perchance be privy to the identity of the most nefarious rogue who, in the dead of night, doth pilfer the humble rubbish bins of unsuspecting folk?

    I did some tests yesterday. Locking my armour stands didn't prevent me from killing them (it took a few consecutive hits to break it, though) but making it invisible kind of soft-prevented me from being able to find its hitbox. Also, putting multiple armour stands near each other made it harder to destroy them, I guess because the hitboxes conflicted with each other when I was hitting them.

    On a tangentially related note, yesterday night I also added the Shroomlandians in one of the pedestals of the hall of heroes. Feel free to check it out, but do note that I accidentally messed up with one of the quartz slabs behind my pedestal and I'll have to fix it today with a piston

    Did you perhaps use a weapon on the armour stand?

    Tbh, I also do this sometimes, even though I use a password manager. When it's something I basically don't care at all about or I consider it too unimportant to add it into my password manager, I do basically the same thing.

    For example on every random company's job application crapware when I'm sending out CVs. I'll generate a random password, use it, but not save it anywhere. Rinse and repeat. All data contained in my CV is publicly available information anyway, so them keeping this data for e.g. 2 or 5 years basically means nothing to me.

    That's a good question. And you're right – language learning is not a "learn it and leave it" type of thing. Especially considering that colloquial language can change pretty fast (compared to "formal language") & that learning a language more or less also involves learning a lot about the culture of the people using it.

    I generally consider it being "done" when I'm able to communicate fluently on a C1 or C2 level, including receiving a relevant certification (if applicable) that proves this knowledge.

    I'm currently learning the language of the country I've moved in, and I definitely have not reached this level of proficiency in it yet.

    I thought the same too — "expat" (as much as I dislike the term) doesn't seem to be that fitting here, especially considering that the scoring here isn't particularly adjusted by other factors, e.g. median salaries vs monthly costs.

    Plus, IMO 4 of the 5 countries listed don't usually offer great opportunities for expats, at least compared to more "tech hub"-y affordable countries like Czechia, Poland, and Denmark.

    But then again, at least in my home country, I rarely hear about expats moving to the above countries instead of Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany, as expensive as those countries can be.

    Which also comes with social implications about competing with locals for housing with am unfair advantage.

    Hmm, wouldn't a digital nomad use short-term rentals instead of "normal renting" though? Because, if they are conducting business activity in the country for more than 6 months, they'll have to be taxed there (which may or may not result in double taxation, depending on the circumstances), but AFAIK normal renting generally has a minimum contract length of 1 year. Short-term rentals are also unethical for similar reasons, of course, but that's a different thing
