Espousing more radical ideas (as opposed to advocating similar ideas in a more radical fashion) also makes the moderate viewpoint seem more moderate. That’s how the Overton window (of the acceptability of ideas in public discourse) shifts over time.
Mini pizzas. I use the naan from Costco as the base, par bake it a few minutes first, then top with jar sauce and shredded mozzarella and make everyone come and do the rest of their toppings from little bowls I’ve prepared before going back in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Kids like mini pepperoni and pineapple bits from a can. I like pesto, spiced artichoke from a jar, Canadian bacon, and avocado and freshly chiffoned basil (after the baking). Everyone gets two pizzas customized to their liking, it tastes better than any takeout pizza, and it’s inexpensive.
Gardenia flowers. Not the terrible candle or soap scents that try and fail to imitate it, but the actual live flowers.

In February, scientists had submitted a detailed outline of the next assessment to the White House for an initial review. But that review has been on hold and the agency comment period has been postponed.
I hope someone at least publishes/leaks that detailed outline.

Mini splits are sized for single rooms and the expected expansion path is to add more of them. That’s not too expensive if you are a handy DIYer who can deal with electrical and mechanical, but it’s not great if you’re paying installation labor. Similar story with everything else in the home improvement space.
