There doesn’t seem to be a universal policy on the process, but here’s one local ‘outsourcing’ option:

“Certainly, young Master Rittenhouse, as soon as we finish ‘processing’ it using a suggestion from Mr. Wayne. Naturally, he’ll cover all associated costs.”

Sadly, it very well might, but the only point of disagreement I have in your assessment that it will “bite them in the ass” is the assumption that the ‘biting’ will stop with them.

I operate under the assumption that going deep into oneself, with or without any sort of ‘pharmacological assistance’, is best done with at least one trustworthy friend to hold a ‘safety line’ of one sort or another. At least until one accumulates enough practice and confidence to navigate alone. And even then, the…

Maybe. Then again, precisely what part(s) of cookie dough that make it unwise to eat raw aren’t exactly secrets. Might be worth at least a couple of episodes to cover making that:

Dude... I forget precisely which “Internet Rule” this comment bumps against, but it goes something like: No matter how certain you are that X task is ‘too simple to fuck up’... someone, somewhere, is able to fuck it up.
Occasionally, spectacularly.
But beyond that, it may surprise you to know that a depressingly large…

It occurred to me to use fruit as a sweetener after watching that one episode of “Sex and the City” with the Russian, who explained how they sweeten their tea.

A key element to improving the flavor of coffee is controlling the acid-level. A very common method for doing just that involves eggshells. No, seriously.
One fellow, Steven Brust (who’s just about due for his own stint in the spotlight on the strength of his fantasy writing) introduced a lot of people to a disguised…

Speaking for myself:
No. I have no interest in watching Succession, if this is indicative of the overall ‘look’ and ‘feel’.
I only ever watched the first two episodes of GoT, precisely because I was already aware of the drearily nihilistic source-material (itself derived from actual European history); I watch television…

Speaking for myself, I’m painfully aware of my feelings, and their sources. It’s got nothing to do with confusion about the ‘messages’ my feelings are sending me: I’m trapped in a a financial cage, sinking into debt and likely taking my family with me, coupled with a dearth of useful skills and coping mechanisms.
“Feeli…

To answer the question posed by the headline: Lots of reasons.
Budget: I’ve never earned more than $1,000.00/week in my life, and that only for about 2 months at most. The rest of the time I was lucky to pull in about $700.00. Given how much of my life was spent (and spent, and spent) in the San Francisco Bay Area,…

Onan disapproves.

Uh-oh, got a “Heinleinist”, here...
“The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.” - R.A. Heinlein

Okay, so “victim” is off-limits.

But that’s part of the point: the arch-conservatives screaming about ‘traditional family values’ ignore the real historical precedent of families working on farms and rarely going more than, say, 50 miles away from the geographic site of their birth over the course of their entire lives.
The GOP are pointing at their i…

There’s a much better one, appearing as a title for a book:

Exactly. She didn’t even need to read the book; the introduction to the Lynch production has Princess Irulan’s expository lecture, which includes the following four words: “The spice extends life.” Which should have settled the matter right there, since you can bet your last water-token that the Distant SpaceFuture…

Interesting point, but it still leaves a few other questions. A bit of Google-fu to Wikipedia results in six names under the “Produced By” list, which leaves plenty of room for each of the six to claim that they were against the decisions to use non-union workers ‘but were overruled’. The only way to really pin down…

My money’s on “we don’t have the budget to get a whole new gun”.
