Also, for Buffistas who rent: approximately how much of your monthly income do you spend on rent? And how much is too much?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cookery types--if I use sour cream instead of yoghurt when making banana bread, what are the likely effects? Should I bump up the baking powder to compensate for slightly less acidity? Bump up the liquids to compensate for the thicker texture?

ita, I've swapped them one-for-one and not altered anything else with no problems, but not with banana bread (because I don't like banana bread).
