You can also use it to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas, eg:

Attendees included Michael Simps, chair of the oversight committee; Allison Charles, VP of outreach; and Yasmin Blort, a local activist.

I'd say Hufflepuff were the ones who valued hard work and coöperation; Slytherin and Ravenclaws were much more individualistic, and even Griffindor puts an emphasis on the actions of individuals and small groups led by individuals.

Ravenclaws were intellectual and curious more than intelligent — some of them act quite stupid, just like real life academics.

Slytherins valued not just tradition and money but status in general and social skills and cunning.

Griffindors prized bravery and strength. Honestly, the most like Slytherin in that they're fiercely tribal in defense of their champions, and view success as more important that method.

Well, the Slytherin in the books were largely social conservatives as written — old families who did things old ways and didn't want to change or accept the new people.

Drink a gallon of water and go back to bed.

I'm confused, what you mean by "cash wallet" that's different than electronic payment? Or maybe, what do you you mean by "electronic payment" that's different than a cash wallet?

I rarely use my wallet, I prefer to pay with my physical card than my phone.

I have many times, that's really not very far.

Back when I was just off of a stint of homelessness, I had an incredibly cheap rented room where I didn't have to pay the utilities separately. I survived on 50¢/day... but this was fifteen years ago, so call it a 1USD in today's money.

I ate popcorn for lunch. I ate either rice and beans or rice and lentils for dinner. I ate day-old bread for breakfast, with a tiny smear of peanut butter. Dinner would include some vegetable bought in bulk — always fresh, not canned or frozen, since fridge access was unreliable.

I spent about five hours a week on shopping, including the walk; cooking; and cleaning my one pot, cutting board, knife, and spoon (I generally ate straight out of the pot). If you want to add my labor cost in, I was making close to minimum wage at the time, so $8.4x5/7=$6/day... wow, really? huh. $6.50/ day, then, but I was having trouble selling my labor at the time and only had part-time work, so that cost may be inflated by the minimum wage or I'm calculating it wrong; I only had part time work, after all.

Why would you drive anywhere if you're trying to save money?
