Like... a bag that bends but not twist would have 50% of the glowsricks intackt. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/3455 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-quartermastery-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────┘ when you run out of an ingredient you use often (like butter, seasoning, or flour) put the container by your shoes. then, when you go to the store, look through all the empty containers and make a mental list. when you get home and are putting things away, if you forgot something just leave the old container by the door. everything else can be recycled / trashed. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/593 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── When you run out of a seasoning, put the empty bottle in a special place that you can see before going to the store. When I carried a purse, I'd put it in there. Could also go in the pocket of a sweatshirt or jacket that you wear when doing errands. Maybe even just on the ledge next to your shoes. Something that reminds you to get this particular seasoning, and no others. It's easy to get others... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/5395 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── people always say "you don't have to storehouse metal, there's no need to scavenge, we can just buy more" as if I wasn't scarred by the wartime struggles of my grandparents ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/3679 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── Heavy things should be stored closer to the ground. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse/3030 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── @user-570 ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%, or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then "increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more" could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat) I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a few. "is this belt better than this one?" "is this pair of tongs even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10 stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then like... +1 stack which calculates to +10% the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/689 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cooking-recycling │ └───────────────────────┘ if you save one of the biggest kind of can that you regularly use, you can put the lids of other cans in it. Just, layer them, one by one, until the can is full. Then you can bend the edges to "seal" it shut, and tada! Now you have a solid hunk of piece of metal that can be saved and melted down if you ever need it. Saving cans is inefficient for space, but the lids can do if you just want a little bit on hand. It's not like it goes bad, and what's one can's worth of storage space in your pantry?
