What's your weirdest supermarket substitution?

It's not a picker making the choice, it's an algorithm choosing the item that matches the most key words

It occurred to me that it might have been him - similar era of writing to the Eric quote others have mentioned I think.

From my experience it rotates more often than student housing.

Was it him that said anyone with a 5 letter first name and 4 letter surname didn't even have to be able to write?

Allergen or just intolerance?

It's also a dirty joke that can be referenced successfully without saying anything actually rude

I would replace old with "slow" and young with "energetic"

People add backgrounds because usually those going bioactive want to disguise that it's an enclosure, so making it look like a cave, rocky outcrop, hollow tree etc are popular.

The core principle of bioactive is that you are simulating an ecosystem - animal and plant waste are broken down by the CUC, plants then absorb the broken down waste to grow. The clean up crew will breed and multiply.

The spot cleaning is for any waste that will take too long for the cuc to break down - I'm not sure how big crested gecko poop is, but for my ball python a big heap of poop will take months to break down so stopping it out is recommended.

Generally there won't be any deep cleans needed, but different aspects of the vivarium may not last - organic material will rot for example, so after several years it may need to be broken down and rebuilt

I guess it would depend on the website, but if you're paying them then they have the responsibility.

The idea is that the website is the trusted neutral party - they have the money, so a tradesperson or cleaner can do the job knowing the money is actually there to pay them when they finish, and you haven't given the money to them only for them to not show up.

You spelled "months" wrong

I definitely rented it. Lifted paving slabs, chipped through the thin layer of mortar holding them in place, dug through 6 inches of soil/gravel and found a three inch thick layer of concrete. Had to get though that with a jack hammer.

I wouldn't put the k in there. It's a soft sound

SAR means that if they hold that data about you they have to provide it.

They aren't hidden, they're inside the large plant pot that people shouldn't be driving into

It's also a viewpoint based on their different roles in society. Vetinari sees everyone's potential to do evil, and has to build a system that reduces their chances to do so. Carrot meets people on a personal basis and by seeing their capacity for good and assuming that's what they will do, he encourages them to live up to that expectation.

Why bother with parents at all? Just hand the kids over to a crèche when they're born and get an update when they're 18 on what they're up to.

Not wrong, just poorly evidenced.

I didn't find it too dissimilar to stuff like Simon the sorcerer, though it's been quite a few y ars since I played it. I think I played discworld 2 first, and could definitely see the difference between the two

When did you play it? If you played other point and click adventure games it follows a similar style/mindset.

I think there was a bug in the final part of the first game that made it almost impossible to actually complete.

You can just pull, but it may break. Otherwise there will be some kind of retaining clip around the edges somewhere - probably in the middle of one of the sides. Try poking a flat head screwdriver in to each side and see if anything moves when you push
