1,3,10,8,9, in the order I read them.
Why limit myself to one maladjusted coping mechanism when I can have several! One for each weekday and wildcard weekend!!

Cats like “yeah, I don’t care, where’s my food hooman..?”
Still looking for my pack. Every time I think I find one it dissolves.
In that case, I’d recommend the sanding, then a wipe down with bleach for the algae, then primer impregnated with a fungicide like Zinsser mold blocking primer (just an epa-approved example, but decent place to start). It’ll form a barrier between the raw degraded plastic and the paint (so anything existing won’t continue to grow), as well as helping prevent molds from growing in the new paint layers.
Just wait for a really dry day to do it (much as you can, you know, or if you have a garage you can run a dehumidifier in that may work too), and let the paint dry for a long time between coats to prevent any moisture trapping.
I really want to know what joke that raccoon told..
Shit, that means I’m ableist..
(Only toward myself, I’d never think of anyone else the way I think of myself, and yes I recognize the issue there)
I’m distro hopping because Ubuntu was perfect for me in basically every way, but I don’t want to be locked to a closed distro..
I haven’t found anything I like yet, and I don’t have the skills (or motivation) to make core Debian feel the same.
I’ll probably end up back on Ubuntu, at least for my server machine.. it just worked the way I wanted it to, and the ui was lovely for me. Plus it’s stable enough that I can just keep it up indefinitely without issue.
Probably best option is to sand it, prime it, and repaint it. Use a UV resistant paint made for plastic or UV resistant top coat, and should be good for several more years.
The green black gunk is probably algae, maybe with mildew (guessing you live somewhere that gets humid, or at least takes a while to dry from dew) so feel free to wipe it down with bleach or a fungicide after sanding but before you paint it.
What if you added a shit-ton of planters and skylights/lights in the huge main hallways (assuming skylights aren’t there already, which they are in a lot of cases), and put windows inward toward your year-round community gardens? The inward-facing walls tend to be glass, so would need to be replaced anyway, and those hallways and congregation spaces are more than wide enough for abundant edible greenery if there aren’t sales kiosks and junk everywhere. You could make a really inviting view entirely indoors.
Retrofitting the plumbing might be a bit of a problem unless you made everything high efficiency, and just built up the floor a bit, which I think could be a fairly minimal expense by going down the main hallways to existing facilities, with shared plumbing between two units/stores like a duplex. (those cement floors suck anyway, so you’d want it built up at least in the units). That makes it easily accessible for fixing. Or a lot of places have back hallways, you could run exposed plumbing through those and run directly into each unit.
Keep some of the kitchens in the food court running, open some markets/maker spaces or create hangout/childcare options in the big shops that can’t be converted to housing, and you can employ people and give them access to quality resources with whatever access issues they may have. Plus then you could rip out 90% of the parking lot and plant trees or build more housing or something. That sounds pretty economically sound to me, just not up front. And not profitable for anyone who would spend on it.
Well shit.
Good to know, thanks.
When you say they reversed course, do you mean they scrapped the project entirely, or went back to the model they were going with when they announced it?
They’d have to focus on getting rid of their smell… that’s probably why foxes didn’t win the dog/fox pet battle. They smell very strongly.

But agreed on ferrets/cats :)
There are Amazon products intended to be sent back, like try before you buy. Or half the cheap junk you end up with instead of what you actually ordered.
Even a standard shoe company expects at least half the pairs to be returned, it’s just part of how online shopping for something that needs to fit works.
(I’m not supporting the model, is wasteful af, just saying, they could just be doing normal rural shopping.)
