No. It’s not the employers fault that Alice spent more money on her mode of transportation.

This is why paying people for their commute is unreasonable. Payment by mileage is based fuel costs mostly. Some wear and tear, but mainly it’s to offset the fuel cost. If someone rides a bike to work, they don’t have fuel costs, therefore should not be compensated.

If it’s true, does it really matter where it comes from?

A lot of it depends on what consoles you want to emulate. I’m no expert, but from what I’ve seen just casually looking through retro gaming forums, is that anything up to N64/PS3 is doable with relatively cheap hardware. But if you want to emulate N64 or PS3 and above properly, you’re going to need to step up in specs.

Nuclear is the way to go.

How about not giving the parents the teachers’ personal phone number for starters. Every and all contact should be through a school email or chat app.

And any email from a parent harassing or threatening a teacher gets escalated to the principal.

If it continues, the pupil is expelled from the school

Pretty much like a car these days

There’s actually quite a few. Can’t think of them all, but the idea of things like making your own shampoo concoction is overkill to me. You can get a 39oz bottle of shampoo for like $7.50 US. Bought a bottle in January of this year and still have more than half the bottle left.

Just seems like the effort and cost savings aren’t worth it to me for something like this. Plus it’s questionable if it even works as good.

Basically though, I think people confuse cheap with frugal. Frugal is being about getting the bang for the buck, not depriving ones self for the sake of saving a few dollars. Mobile phones are a good example. Is there really a need to get a $1000 flagship phone when I can get a $200 lesser name phone that can do all the same things as the top tier one can? Sure, the photos might not be as high quality, but they’re way good enough for every day use.
