Source: I had to manage on 30$ a month and still managed to build muscles.

Lentils and rice. They are both dirt cheap. They complement each other as they have a different type of protein. If you throw some carrots in there you have a more tasty meal. Add some salt for taste.

Oil is more expensive, but a must. Oil is 9 kcal per gram, carbohydrates and protein is only 4 kcal per gram. So even if oil is twice as expensive per gram it is still cheaper. It also makes you full for longer.

Ideally if you want to actually have a healthy and good tasting meal. Then add some dry boullion and some frozen vegetables. Potatoes is also an option. It is still dirt cheap, but slightly more expensive.

    What I care most about is the gameplay and having fun. As long as people are being creative and making their vision come to life, I do not mind some AI here and there. What I care most about is the gameplay and it actually being fun and well made.

    It is important to note that the AI created assets should feel original in some way. It should not be the standard "make a knight in cartoon character style". It has to be a somewhat novel combination of styles or something that is experienced as original.

    I'd rather someone be able to make their dream game with some AI assets than them not making their game at all.

    For me its about skipping mostly transactional human interactions. Like most efficiency gains for me, I get more time with those I want to spend time with, and hobbies.

    It is important to note that I am not a typical person in this regard, I spend a lot of time and effort to remove friction (save time) day to day.

    If it did a good reliable job, 200€-400€ I'd rather just go to the bathroom, put something on, and wait for a short while, and then have a good haircut. Going to a barber and planning etc is a lot more work

    We don't have hard water, so I think you're right. I wouldn't save much time by having a dispenser versus a bar of soap.

    I actually have a bar of soap right now, and I'm fairly happy with it, but I know my guests assume that it is less hygienic. It is important to note that I often use the dispenser for some reason instead of the bar of soap, even if I use the bar of soap fairly often.

    Anyways I need an option that guests are comfortable with.

    So its either having a dispenser, or a dispenser AND bar of soap. Currently we have both, but the dispenser is really small.

    The part I despise the most is putting them in the closet. I've tried many solutions, but I've not found any that made the job less tedious.

    When I was a student, I just threw my clothes into various shelves based on the type and considered that good enough. I did not fold clothes ever. I just threw the boxers in one shelf, the socks in another, T-shirts in another, pants in another.

    As an adult with a family, this won't be accepted anymore.

    I had a period in which I had a dryer, but I did not find that it saved me a lot of time because the fastest way to get the laundry into the shelves and the hangers is by sorting it first. And if I had to sort it anyways, I could just sort it on the drying rack and put it on the hangers on the drying rack.

    I think it's fairly hard to find solutions to fix this.

    I have considered mapping out each step, and then try to identify the pain points. Then find ways to remove as much friction as possible. Kind of like how an UX designer would handle this.
