This is one where Heathcliff was actually essential to the joke. But due to audience capture issues I had to find some way to edit it and have it make sense. Or at least as much sense as any other Heathcliff comic. So that bar was pretty low. I debated trying to write Pfizer on the pill itself to make it look more like a viagra pill. Or even just straight up copy pasting a viagra pill. But I decided against both options.

Beds in Heathcliff are made out of meat.

I try to find a compromise. If I just remove him and it looks like trash then there’s no funny to be had.

It has to do with the way that the skirts have been colored exactly the same as ham and have the same crosshatch pattern. And some of the walls. It’s an inside joke.

They don’t take much time. Five minutes in the morning to let them out and feed them. Two minutes at night to put them away. Depending on your litter style you need between 20 minutes a week or 5 minutes a week plus two hours every three months to clean out the coop. They are less work than most mammal pets. And they give you eggs in addition to being remarkably entertaining for being the closest extant relative to the T-Rex.

To run credit checks and be in compliance with anti-terrorism regulations.

I don’t remember that being part of the question I was answering. The question was why, not how. So the “But” seems confrontational in this context.

Is it dumb that they might have been in plain text or something close enough to it that it didn’t matter: of course. But that wasn’t the question.

That’s fine. In the future I’d start with “Also” instead of “But.” It completely changes the tone.

Make things even if it costs more than buying. This requires you to have access to a lot of tools. Especially in the kitchen.

If you hear an advertisement for something that is offering a discount larger than the amount you would actually pay for the item then never buy it from them.

Pay more for something that will last you the rest of your life.

Look for functional items at antique shops instead of buying a nearly identical item new.

Never buy physical media new unless it’s literally your favorite band.

Learn to knit, sew. Even if you’re buying yarn or fabric from a big corporation your handmade good will surpass fast fashion in quality and life span.

You don’t need any merchandising from your favorite movie or comic book. Lego doesn’t count because you can build other stuff.

Pawn shops and thrift stores are your friend. I guess this is a footnote to my first point.

Go through your library’s website with a fine tooth comb to see what services and goods they offer. This conclude free streaming stuff or seed packets that are picked for your area or any number of other things other than books. And of course books.

I do a lot of the same stuff and people are constantly telling me I need to make videos. But they fail to realize.is that moment you decide to make videos you have to buy a whole lot of lighting gear and you will increase the amount of time it takes to do anything by at least eight fold when you figure in camera positioning and editing. Massively increases the mental and time load.

I know that if I dig two feet down I have clay. I need to dig a pod for my geese and ducks. It’s only a matter of time before I try to build a kiln and make my own plates. But I also want to make bread and pizza and I want my kiln to do both bread and ceramic even though I know that it will be a completely wasted effort and I need two separate ovens.

That’s how you do it. Well, how I did it. It was a mono-tasker so I dumped my garlic press. I either mince it by hand or if I need that juiced vibe I grate it. Rarely pestil and mortar because that means thoroughly cleaning that thing.

You don’t need that vinyl disk. You don’t need that CD. You don’t need that DVD. You most certainly don’t need that VHS. But if it’s your favorite band then that’s okay. Even if it’s Nickelback. And if it turns out you really really can’t be complete without owning Fight Club or Star Trek: Galaxy Quest (the best one, even better than The One With the Whales) then let the buy-used rules kick in. You can get a copy at a yard sale, thrift store, pawn shop. Well, maybe not a pawn shop. A lot of them won’t buy DVDs anymore.
