Huh. Very simple, almost obvious idea for water conservation.
I can't help but seeing this method of organising bookshelves as missing the point.
Note to self: religion freaky.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's pretty common for people to come into the library and say, "I was using this book, about X. I can't remember the title or author. It's blue..."
(When we find it, the book is invariably about Y, and red, of course.)

Actually, flea, there's this cookbook I'm looking for--it's about flavour combinations you wouldn't have thought worked and it's a pale colour, maybe green and it has like a sliced open lotus/artichoke on the cover, and I really want another copy.
True story.
On the other hand, I've been up too long. Think I'm seeing things. It has been over 24 hours. Gotta catch a bit of rest before Saturday starts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I organize my books by height.

Organizing books by size means that you can fit more of them on the shelves, and lots of closed-stack libraries do this. It's what I do here at home, since we're always short of shelf space.

not your mom's socks.
I do mostly size, but when I can put James Joyce next to Dorothy Parker, I will. I like to see 'em fight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The two factors that tipped me from always having a cushion to living paycheck to paycheck are 1) daycare and 2) mortgage. Ironic, huh? I mean, slowly we are building up a bit of a cushion again, but it will take the kids entering elem school (and aftercare vs daycare) for us to really start saving again.

Absolutely. We were doing so well as DINK renter-types, and now we're back to taking money from my parents (for daycare).
The one mitigating factor is we're also too tired now to ever go out, so we're saving money on movies and dinners. Doesn't quite balance out, but it helps!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
They tend to show off with the biggest guys. Why in gods name would I be convinced by a fight system this guy finds effective? I wager he finds everything, up to and including badminton effective self defense. I am more interested in what she can use.
I am guessing that guys don't find that compelling (though they should) and that's the majority of the center's customers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I keep telling the higher ups at krav that they have to sell the fact that it works for smaller women.
I still think they should do the Mother's Day weekend thing my dojo did where you get a free class if you bring your mom, and they teach you a bit of self defense for any strength level.
Fun!
I think they let us members bring a friend. Polgara will remember better.
