It's not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

The asker's bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it's easier to do so without losing my place.

Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it's easier if I don't have to ignore a bunch of words that don't substantively alter the meaning.

Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it's easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.

Of what others have suggested and that I've read: the ones most similar to what you've finished are:

• The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie
• The Expanse series by James SA Corey
• Hyperion (at least the first two books, w/ optional two more) by Dan Simmons

New recommendations:

• Dhalgren by Samuel R Delany (content warning)
• The Baroque Cycle series by Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash and the Diamond Age may both be better starting points for the author, but may fit your other criteria less)
• The Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe

Other works that stretch your genre boundary but may evoke the right emotion:

• Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
• If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
• The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
• Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
• The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
• Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
• Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth
• John Dies at the End by David Wong

Several offices have a minimum age defined in the Constitution. President's is 35

That's a sensible way to do it. You've got a built in asymmetry to map it to.

Not just air-tight, lighter-than-air-tight. I'm not sure if it's true for the whole set of lighter-than-air gasses, but helium is infamously difficult to keep from leaking, even with modern technology.

Good at making gasses behave is a weird choice for ancient technologies we lost.

The decision to use Adobe suite is more likely to be a company wide decision. Part of Adobe suite lock-in is also familiarity making things faster. By promoting others, that may help future generations avoid at least part of the problem.

Google services may be much more piecemeal. Even if the boss personally happens to think there's a productivity benefit to using a given search engine, it would be unusual to block others.

Practicing what you preach is sometimes important, but I'm not sure how much it bears on these issues. A single company eschewing either won't make a difference. Getting the public to slowly consider alternatives may.

Maybe folks just like symmetry.

If your comments are going to gum up the thread with a segment that they don't think will have any effect, what's a few more to match?

Boulders are the best kind of decorative bollard

I'm not sure why you mention government cheese here. Government cheese was cheddar, and not made from waste products/offcuts. It's entirely unrelated, but fascinating story.

No disagreement on raspberries, but your comment makes me think you might like mangos in plain yogurt. The tartness of the yogurt works beautifully with the extreme sweetness of the mango. It tastes like a fresher more balanced version of flavored yogurts. So if you're into the flavor of mango, but the sweetness is off-putting, this could be a way to still enjoy them.

Also it's Valve. People choose the projects they work on and are free to start their own projects.

I'd be a little surprised if there weren't several earnest attempts to make 3.

It took me like half the movie to understand the pidgin for New Hawaii.

The book doesn't jump around. Each story is like a book opened to the halfway point, with another book inserted. They're all nested like this down to New Hawaii, which plays through straight, before finishing each story in turn.

I love ambitious (if somewhat failed) movies like this, and I'm not really sure if the Wachowskis could have done a better job.
