Because of the sloping terrain and city codes regarding minimum foundation thicknesses, it ended up taking 96 80lbs bags

96 80lb bags would only cover 115 square feet at 6". And if it's a slope, it would have to be smaller than 10x10. Where do you live where they have building requirements for such a small shed? In AZ, you don't have to care at all until you go over 200 square feet.

He doesn't talk to cloud guys, because we've already got a cloud provider (AFAHKT).

Yes, things like this really work in real life.

I really don't like phones. They rarely bring good news.

In my case they don't die, I kill them. Specifically, I smash them. I break them into little tiny bits.

I don't do this out of anger. I do it for the joy of destroying the phone.

I really don't like phones.
