You can’t just say, “I have 20 people living in my home, just make the check out to me.” The dam company is going to be verifying who they’re paying.

My name is on the credit card, so shipping it to a fake name isn’t doing anything but potentially drawing attention to myself.
In my archaeology/anthropology classes in college, we were taught to say “projectile points” instead of “arrowheads” for basically this reason.
I always found success with the all-at-once, immediately get out so the wind makes it super cold, and then get back in.
I would be proud of being recognized at a local bakery, and similarly uncomfortable being recognized at a Taco Bell.
If only it were so easy. Certain prescriptions from certain doctors definitely helped, but nothing makes the pain go away.
I have a bad habit where I stop feeling bad about not eating the food once it’s in the freezer, and then it doesn’t come out until I’m cleaning months later. And then all of my Tupperware is in the freezer.
There’s a middle ground that I think a lot of people miss, and that played an important role in me eating out less.
You can buy things like frozen dumplings, frozen pre-cooked chicken, etc… This isn’t going to be as cost efficient as making from scratch, but it’s wayyyy better than eating out all the time.
I’ve been learning to cook by weaning myself off of ordering out, to frozen pre-cooked stuff (that you should never grow 100% out of, my god dumplings freeze so well), to scratch.
An important dubstep of that has been taking something like pre-cooked dumplings with a homemade soup. It’s like buying level2 ingredients, something a little closer to human readable.
Sorry this edible just kicked in, I think I got lost in the metaphor in that last paragraph.
Something that worked for me is always shopping for a specific meal. Instead of buying ground beef because I might want burgers or tacos or chili, I instead buy everything for a chili. It’s lead to less “oh I forgot I had this beef in here” and more “I better use this nice, fresh beef to make chili because otherwise I’ll go hungry.
It’s not a perfect system, and seems really obvious in hindsight, but has been a paradigm shift for me.
Terrafirmacraft + create is one of the most fun combos I’ve ever played. Really slow start, but gives TFC an actual endgame. Your first few machines are a fight and a half, and then before long you start quarrying chunks.
You might be looking for Roko’s Basilisk. It’s a touch more extreme than just being nice, though.
You might call it a shopping arcade. Pretty common in many cities, and likely is a public street, despite having a covering.
This is something I think about a lot, and has been done well in fiction plenty already. My adhd wouldn’t just go away in a fantasy world. Sure I might have a burst of motivation for a while, but I probably wouldn’t magically be interested in studying and research just because I might be able to do some basic magic.
I think people forget how much heavy lifting the Clone Wars series did for their relationship, and Anakin’s character in general. Canonically they really were like brothers, but this is not portrayed clearly in film.
It’s a situation of just enough knowledge, I think. It’s true that water won’t put out an EV battery fire, but it will cool it down and prevent the fire from spreading.
I can totally see the value in that, but I also worry it might result in a “blank cheque” situation where rape allegations are dismissed because one party consented on an app and the other took that as free rein to do whatever.
But you’re right. The other side is potentially protecting people from false allegations.
The issue with this is that consent can be withdrawn at any point. You don’t just agree to have sex and you’re good for the night. Consent is a constant thing.
Every time. Absolutely cracks me up.
