Darn, I thought that was the case but I was kinda hoping that I could get around it.

What? How do you set that up?

Holy shit

I love orecchiette! It’s a very underrated pasta

You didn’t even do \LaTeX

Sippy cup

Wow. I’m not a smoker so I didn’t realise how cheap it was overseas. Accorfing to numbeo a pack of 20 Marlborough Reds costs about $30 US (according to my smoker friends it’s about $50 AU depending on where you go). It’s created a very lucrative black market in tobacco.

Planning ahead? Sounds pretty responsible to me

You could say you’ve never hurd of someone using it

As a student I liked uniforms too. I never had to decide what to wear and I never got teased for what I wore.

This has got to be the funniest summary of A Wind in the Door

Local units have the responsibility for training all their new members, so if they receive too many applications (or they lack the capability to train new people) they will have to turn people away.

We have very high per capita income and GDP, as well as a lot of land. Until “recently” you could expect to buy a house with a backyard on a median income. This probably has contributed to it, but I couldn’t tell you why we would beat the US.

Orecchiette. It’s a very small cup (the name means little ear) which holds a little bit of sauce, but not so much that you get overzealous and try to fill it up.

Yeah, went to donate but they’d shut up shop already. Melted like snowflakes

Mmmm yeah, I currently work in a cafe, so I get the benefits of climate control with the benefits of basically only dealing with people face to face. If it was a better paid job I’d probably just stay in it.

I’m so glad I don’t work in an office and I dread the day I do

I heard an idea once about making minimum wage 0$ and giving everyone a liveabke UBI. That would mean that nobody is required to participate in the workforce, meaning that employers who can’t afford to pay their workers a good wage would be priced out of the market rather than being able to prey upon peoples need for, y’know, money (which can be exchanged for goods and services). A very appealing idea for a 16 year old boy, and the only issue I see with it now is extreme specialisation in the workforce leading to less competition between different workplaces for similar jobs.
