What if he's so fast with his hands that he breaks the clothes more than the washing machine would? The point of hand washing is to be gentle with delicate pieces. Imagine being so fast but having to slow yourself down for a long period of time just to wash clothes. That would be a boring life.
It's a matter of whether a piece of cloth can be machine washed or should be washed by hand. What Shadow is saying is that it looks machine washable enough, so he will not bother washing it by hand, even if the instructions said so.
How does one recuperate the energy from a candle to transform it to something useful? Also, would it's output be enough to power anything meaningful in a reasonable time anyway?
I don't see why social darwinists wouldn't like it. I mean, that fungus is thriving. Thus, it must be a really strong individual who made good decisions (associating with trees when it was advantageous).
Besides what Civ says, a lot of stadiums are built for a one time special event, like the olympics or some world cup.
I'm thinking about the olympic stadium of Montreal (which I think the post was about). It was built for the olympics of 76 and cost around a billion dollars at the time.
Since we don't have a baseball team anymore, it is used only once in a while for music shows, but the acoustic is horrible because it wasn't built for it. In my lifetime, I honestly never went inside for an event.
And now, the government is talking about a plan to repair it for an other billion. At this point, the only reason to keep it is because it's so old and unique. Plus, it would just costs too much to demolish it.
It does bring a bunch of tourists annually, but for local people, it's either seen as a weird relic of the past or a big scam.
Also, why can't I just be a peaceful barbarian? Why would my population need amenities anyway? And who told them what is a stadium?
Not only they aren't cheap, but they are pretty much never profitable.
If we are to build things that are not profitable, we could as well build something that will offer a service to the population, like public transportation.
I would like a way to respec my stats, please.
Also, permanent lung damage is kinda boring. I get the idea about "realism" and not breaking the immersion, but there is so much waste of time we could avoid.
And I hope the devs would be more open to criticism. Some fanbases start looking like cults from time to time.
All Hail Our Apple Lady!
I have to say, though, that for the love of the Goddess, I can't find my surfboard. I'm not even sure I have one. But as far as I searched, I couldn't find any brush around my sand. 10\8, would hail again.
Okay, but I got angry at it, so now OP and society are even.
