Even if we do a version where the NPC is coughing up gallons of water, that's effectively a save or die spell. The NPC can't cast, fight effectively or run away.
If you allow that usage then create water becomes one of the most powerful spells in the game.
I'm confused about what you want.
Mods literally got replaced by reddit because they refused to capitulate.
I'm not a fan of reddits choices, but if I was deeply involved in a community I'd consider staying to be part of that community still.
Are you against roads?
Do you use the sidewalk without paying a fee to a private entity that helped develop it?
Housing doesn't have to be a scarcity market. I don't anyone is complaining about people who own a house, but people are complaining about companies and individuals who own 10,000 homes.
It is easy, if you can get a mortgage.
I currently pay less than $2k a month on my mortgage. A 1 bedroom apartment near me is about $1.8-2.5k and a 2 bedroom is $2.5-3.5k a month. People aren't lazy and not buying houses because it's so fun to live in an apartment, they are doing it because they can't get a loan.
The only difficult thing about buying a house is the hours of paperwork and surprise costs that make no sense.
What exactly should be done to motivate?
I ask because schools do a lot to motivate but kids often dismiss it as lame or complain about the efforts. It's very easy to say "motivate kids" but actual ideas aren't common.
Let me give you an example, everyone has heard "when will we use this in real life?" in math class. The same people asking those questions are the same that groan at word problems. So you have kids complaining that won't be able to use something in real life, and upset when they have to solve a real life problem. What's the real complaint the student has? They have to try.
I agree that so much more can be done to make school fun, but it's not all on the teachers. Students have to be present, participate and willing to leave their comfort zone in order to have better results.
One of the hidden aspects of paying for healthcare is the surprise amounts.
Every time I see the doctor I ask if I owe anything, they always say no and then a week later I get a bill. Why is it a mystery even to those that work there?
Easy, just be rich already!
You know how much labor a landlord does? None! Even if you consider things like picking up checks telling people you won't fix stuff is labor there are services that will do that for you!
Stocks? If you are rich you can stack the deck and never lose!
Rich people literally cannot give money away fast enough to be poor.
"the soulless agents of orthodoxy!"
I know I should be hyped about space, but I read better train control and don't have the capacity to care about space.
Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".
I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.
Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.
It seems like people really aren't reading the article.
