While rammed and compressed earth is great, building underground regulates temperature because the temperature a few feet underground is constant, and such a building is basically a passive geothermal heated and cooled system.
How do you know when you are interacting with one of "those people"? Even better, how can I join a conversation without being written off as one of them?
From Western New York, when I was 15/16 I got a workers permit to allow me to work at a pizza shop (Mark's Pizzeria) but it had a lot of restrictions like limited hours on a school night. This was over 15 years ago so I am not sure what the laws are now.
I wonder if we will ever see support for white-hat botters. I imagine the game publisher/creator would have a separate server which you could request access to. It could have a bug bounty type system where if your account/bot is able to fool the system you will be rewarded for explaining how you did it. I think there are a lot of gamers that would spend time on this so they don't have to put up with so many bots.
Ideas: Allow users to specify which days of the week are writing days and only track that streak. For every certain period of time (14 days?) completed, the user gets a vacation / skip day. This way the user can keep the streak going without having to write every day and can take days off when needed without losing their streak.
