There was a period where it seemed like we were eating freshly baked biscuits and gravy multiple times a week, which can be quite detrimental to your diet I should add! Nowadays I usually prep and freeze breakfast burritos in bulk instead of cooking in the morning, and reheat them while my tea steeps, which fits perfectly into the daily routine, but gradually working your way up in terms of effort will allow you to find out what levels of effort work for your mornings.

It's funny, last season your and my builds were conceptually similar and this season mine and @GravySleeve's are, there's always inspiration to be found

I can provide some for you next time I'm on if need be, or you can steal a few stacks from my platform, or there's a manual farm in the industrial area.They're made of mushroom stems!

And looks great doing it, if I do say so myself :). High speed rail lines included!

On top of the building with the copper roof, there's a boat, sitting on top of some slabs. It's leashed to that fence post with a lead -- carefully placed so that the lead is perfectly level, and runs at a 45 degree angle relative to the block grid (thus hitting the center of each block in its path). Temporary blocks were placed above the leads, and the copper lanterns hung from them; then, a debug stick was used to set the lanterns to their grounded mode, which both lowered them so their tops aligned with the lead, and also allowed them to float unsupported. I was also super high when I figured this out so edibles might be required, not sure -

If you wish to raise objections you'll have to petition the Polish national government to remove the modernization exemption -- as a humble local official, I have nothing to do with it.

You're free to convert the tunnel to high speed rail; Ms. Pickles is right that further renovations to the line are scheduled, but construction will not start there for some time, so there's no point in putting off updating the rails themselves. Your permit is granted.

I would go for the classic ilmango gold farm -- with fixes applied for the current version, it more or less maximizes the piglin spawns a single player can get. Requires a lot of magma so I'm happy to help with the collection thereof/anything else

These aren't rules, just sort of... cultural norms, I guess?
If you're trying to find a spot to build and someone already has a big base nearby where you want to settle, it's usually polite to ask permission to build there; usually, you'll want to avoid doing major builds or digs or whatever right near the world spawn to keep it pristine for newer players; try to build major automatic farms outside of high traffic areas to reduce lag. Basic etiquette stuff that's pretty intuitive imo, and people like building close together within reason and won't stand on ceremony.

The proposed regulations seem eminently sensible, like the burden of implementation will mainly fall on AI companies. And LLM-induced psychosis, mental illness, and self harm is already a very clearly serious problem.
Here in the US, business leaders are begging not to be regulated, with the excuse that any legislative speed bumps will make us lose the AI race against China. Maybe the adoption of these regulations in China will help deflate that excuse; AI regulation is so overwhelmingly popular that it almost must happen here at some point, however oligarchal the US is becoming.

Comment on Housemarque's Saros looks set to provide a less punishing experience than Returnal in ~games

I...It's interesting... Returnal has this problem where if you don't fail enough, you won't get to see all the story before you get the true ending, which has been a problem for me on replay. I actually think the game isn't as hard as it's been made out to be, once you're familiar with how the game wants you to play it. So I hope Housemarque does a better job dealing with the failure problem this time around.
I hope having a larger cast doesn't impair the really strong sense of atmosphere that was a core part of Returnal. But it's good to see a studio not just blindly doing more of what worked last time.
In general, I think all my healthiest habits can be summed up as "having a routine." It's unexciting, but waking up early, eating breakfast every day, having a designated time to do stretching and practice mindfulness, writing every day, cooking all my own meals, going to bed early -- the impact of each thing is small but they really add up; likewise the impact of each day is small but as long-term habits the benefits cannot be understated.
