Like with everything, the key to saving money is to have it to begin with. The people who are being wrecked by their utility bills are also the people who don’t have an extra 20k lying around to buy a super energy efficient heating and cooling system.
Breaking news “How one man beat the shoe industry” - he had someone buy him a really nice pair of boots so he wouldn’t have to buy new boots every 3 months. Super helpful…
The translations are masterpieces, I prefer some french over the originals even. The wordplays are so thought out and function so well. Ankh-Morpork, ou by some I dont remember (Klatch?) becomes Ankh-Mord-Porc, “Ankh-Bite-Pig” with food jokes etc. And so on.

No kidding? That’s super cool! Disque-monde! I am somewhat disappointed they didn’t transliterate Ankh-Morpork.
