Vouchers were not designed to help low-income students. They were designed to allow middle to upper class families too take state dollars and send their children the right schools. What are the right schools you ask? The ones without the low-income students, of course. (Source: I work in Education in Indiana)

I've been really into projected Halloween decorations the last couple of years. I hang a sheer curtains in the street facing windows. I project videos of ghostly apparitions on them. Atmosfx has some good collections that would complement a Lovecraftian creepy old house. They sell for $40-$50 per collection and are 100% worth it.

If you happen to have a projector, a sheer curtain, and know how to find video files from less than reputable sources... You can don't have to spend any money at all.

They're the same picture.

 

Received my first message from an airplane. Looking at it, there was a United Fight on it's way from Chicago to Cincinnati passing overhead when I got this.

Test, UA flight 808

Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.

I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you're going to find.

What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.

This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.

If you want to skip wiring all together, pick up two Aurora Dimmers and put Hue bulbs in all your sockets. It's not the cheapest or most privacy friendly if you're using their hub. But going this way, you can put the dimmer near the fixture you want to control, you have no wiring whatsoever, connection to HA, and you're completely up and running inside of 30 minutes.

The only thing I have inventoried is what's in the attic. Everything is in large plastic totes by category. I keep a text file listing each tote and what's in each. You looking for something specific? Search for that word in the text file and then go open up tote F3.

The totes are color coded based on what category of item is in them & have their contents written on the lids using a chalkboard marker for anyone in the family who doesn't want to use the text file.

 

That or there is one long lived alien out there banging his way through the quadrants... Either way, we know what he looks like.

 

I know people who only poop at home. I can't imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology... Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.
