Debet, how long are you going for?

I would like a robot housekeeper if it was better than like, a Roomba. But not as exists now...

Wednesday's Girl Genius addresses evil overlordship properly

essentially: "You know, there's more to being an evil despot than getting cake whenever you want it." "If that's what you think, then you're doing it wrong!"

I think you'd be better off doing it yourself

So not unlike the first two questions.

I feel like in the absence of further information, the house cleaner/caregiver is Rosie from The Jetsons, and the sex robot is Jude Law from AI. Assuming you want to have sex with a man, at least.

I don't understand why people would assume differently.

In THAT case, I'm in.

How's the weather, Kate? Are you safe at home with Rose now?

Thanks for asking, Amy! Turns out we didn't have any tornado watches/warnings yesterday after all, despite several days of apocalyptically dire forecasts beforehand. (Phew.)

Re: sex with a robot, I think for me it would depend significantly on how advanced and humanlike the robot was. [link] , NSM. [link] ? Hell yeah. edit: Gigolo Joe x-post!

Debet, how often do you expect you'll be able to wash your clothes?

Gigolo Joe x-post!

I mean, obviously!

Bearing in mind that I have a small amount of packing space, what mix of long sleeves, short sleeves, and tanks would you recommend?

One long sleeve, one lightweight cardigan that goes with everything (or jacket; something you wear on the plane), the rest short sleeves. It's like the kitchen rule: no one-task clothing. Only bring the tank if you specifically have a use for it, otherwise stick to sleeves that are more appropriate for more settings.

This isn't good enough for you people?!

OK, when I did similar I made sure that everything matched and everything was multifunctional. As I recall my wardrobe was:

One long sleeved nice looking t-shirt
One button-down shirt
Two plain white Ts
One giant T (doubled as night shirt)
One cardigan
Two bras

I wasn't a tank top girl, if I were I might have swapped out one white t for a tank.

Otherwise I had:

One long pair of leggings (doubled as jamma pants)
One short pair of leggings (also jammas)
One pair of jeans
One pair of shorts
One broomstick skirt
One fold just-up-from-a-garbage-bag slicker
One bathing suit
One pair of walking shoes (wore those most)
One pair of flip-flops
One pair of attractive sandals
One sarongy piece of fabric
Unrecalled number of pairs of undies (plenty)
Unrecalled number of pairs of socks (not so much)

If I got cold, it all went on.

The advice I lived by was "You'll always wish you had less stuff". My sister is partial to "We're going to ________, not Turkish prison."
