What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • I work at a plant that uses one of those alternative flocculants (due to our source water chemistry). Our logistics are incredibly shaky at the best of times, due to the extremely limited number of producers.

  • Alternative methods of disciplining children.
  • "Natural consequences" is the buzzword. Make sure the consequences fit the action. You squirted most the toothpaste into the aink? You don't get access to toothpaste, and mom/dad have to do your toothbrush.

    This works with my kid because they value their autonomy very highly. Your child may value things differently.

    Something to keep in mind: the goal isn't to be a high-discipline parent, it's to be a consistent parent. Express expectations and consequences, then hold to them. This helps children feel secure, and dramatically reduces testing behaviors (not to zero but much lower).

  • Stop trying to turn Dungeons & Dragons into a Marvel-esque cash cow – it won’t work
  • They tried to make Magic the Gathering into some kind of big brand with characters and merch and corporate fuckery- they drove people away, myself and my friends included.

    I don't see this going much better.

    Have they sicced the pinkertons on anyone yet? Maybe a negative reviewer?

  • Could you drink distilled water with a mineral pill
  • Most bottled water comes from a municipal water system somewhere, i.e., is tap water.

    Some water supplies have issues with sulfur or algae, so that can be unpleasant if your sense of smell is particularly sensitive. My sense of smell is pretty weak so I drink the tap water most places, while my spouse had an RO system installed in our house due to their sensitivity.

  • Facts
  • Supplements suck that way, sorry. I've found a couple brands that work for me (Nature's Way, Horbäach), but I'm no supplement expert. I'd try to find a mid-price option that didn't seem too sketchy.

    As for nootropic stacks and whatnot: never heard of them, although they seem interesting. I personally take 2g of tyrosine along with vitamin D and a vitamin B complex (plus a couple medical rx). I would start at 500mg-1g, and add more after a week if you felt you needed to. I have taken tyrosine with omega 3s but never regularly; I didn't notice an interaction at the time.

  • Facts
  • Tyrosine. It's a dopamine precursor. By itself, it mildly increases focus just enough to get non-preferred tasks started. It also makes completing tasks much more rewarding, which can start a positive feedback loop that leaves your space much more livable/less depressing.

  • What is even the point. You're not even hunting at that point.
  • What, butcher paper and freezer electricity?

    The poor who subsist on game and garden butcher their own animals. My stepfather's elk tag fed my family of 11 for six months of the year, and gave him his one personal break per year. Plus, we weren't eating meat drenched in chlorine or fed on trash. He never used shit like in the OP's pic, though.

    To your point, he hunted on horseback so feed for the horse probably evened out the savings over time. I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, just that the argument around hunting is more nuanced than most of the conversation in the replies.

  • knowledge should be free

    But college textbooks are absurdly expensive. Can anyone point me to some options for digital textbooks that don't have stupid drm?
