I suppose it’s a bit of a unique case; my high school’s classrooms did not have doors, and we were located pretty close to wooded areas. Assuming there is an active shooter inside the building, running was deemed to be the safest choice if available.

I sometimes forget our architecture was a little nonstandard.

Run -> Hide -> Fight is what we were taught.

Was this in or around DC by any chance? That’s the only place I ever get dollar coins. I think any machine on government property has to accept them, and they seem to be the default change option for all the metro services.

I love getting them because they’re the perfect size for me to do that thing where you walk a coin across your knuckles.

Rabbits I’m not sure. Cats naturally want to bury their leavings, so they actually train themselves just fine. Show them where it is, keep it clean, and 99% of the time that’s that.

Same actually, and a refurb m1. That’s not to say apple doesn’t use predatory tactics, and hard agree with complaining about laptops sold with 8gb of ram. I use windows, Mac, and Linux daily, and for my devices I want to last and not worry about, I go apple.

For the comedic value, have you tried He Who Fight With Monsters? It’s my most reread series by far, and is what I always give people after Carl.

Cradle is the other big one. The first half of book one is a bit of a hump for me, similar to reading Kal’s perspective in Way of Kings, but it picks up fast. The audiobook is magical; just about anything read by Travis Baldree is worth the time.

Not even per-creation, but the weird system of always paying at the start of the month, instead of just subscribing whenever. It’s stopped me from subbing multiple times because I don’t want to pay double for one week of access.

The singular argument for that system is that it enables creators to pause payments for a month without it fucking up billing for people. I mostly sub to authors, and if they take a month off, the ones not doing the first of the month model have a lot of issues.

Dungeon Crawler Carl reference with a Way of Kings username? I’ve found my people.

I don’t love the idea of roaming security cameras, but at least they’re actually getting warrants.

Accepting that’s is ok to sometimes eat a frozen meal has been absolutely instrumental in helping me reduce eating out.

I got caught in the trap of perfect, trying to make tasty, healthy, low-cost meals, and then giving up when I couldn’t just do that every day with no experience.

It’s actually really important to keep your lawnmower blades sharp. Makes the whole process much easier, and the engine won’t have to work as hard.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.
