	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I left my only pot boiling on the stove too long and forgot about it.
		The inner coating was completely trashed.
		It&apos;s not even the kind of trashed where the surface isn&apos;t stick-resistant but the pot&apos;s still usable.
		The coating is chipping off in chunks, and if I were to use it, that junk&apos;d get in my food.
		Lovely.
		I need to quit leaving the kitchen when I&apos;m cooking stuff.
		I&apos;ve got no Internet connection in the kitchen though, which is a bit of a pain.
		Before I clocked in at work, I picked up a new pot for a couple dollars next door, but I&apos;ll need to be more careful with this new one.
	</p>
	<p>
		After work, I headed to a nearby grocery store to pick up some veggie patties.
		That&apos;s not what I ended up bringing home though.
		Their almond milk was on sale!
		I ended up buying a backpack full of the stuff and didn&apos;t have any room for veggie patties.
		Next time, maybe.
		Between this almond milk today and the rice milk from the other day, I should be pretty well off in the calcium and soup base departments for a while.

	<h2>University life</h2>
	<p>
		I&apos;m about two days late to make real progress, but I&apos;ve finally got my head out of the clouds for a bit.
		Programming Minetest mods is thoroughly distracting and time-consuming.
		I&apos;ve finished the reading material for the week and have written up my main discussion post:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Daily life in Athens or Sparta, even on a high level, would depend greatly on your genetics.
			In neither city-state, women, outsiders, or the descendants of outsiders had a right to engage in politics.
		</p>
		<p>
			In Athens, the poor were excluded from the highest political offices, but would participate in legal decisions as jury members.
			For 6000 citizens per year, daily life would involve sometimes sitting on juries for legal cases.
			Politics were a big deal, and even the arts in Athens, such as plays at their theatre, were politically-oriented.
			At least 40 days per year, life could involve attending the popular assembly and making decisions for the government.
			Participation wasn&apos;t mandatory though, so those that didn&apos;t care didn&apos;t have to waste their time.
			Of course, if you didn&apos;t attend and provide your input in the decision-making process, you wouldn&apos;t have much right to complain about the way things were run.
			As said before, women and outsiders didn&apos;t have any political rights, but the still enjoyed some basic freedoms.
			They weren&apos;t required to live any particular life or take any particular societal role, and outsiders often worked as merchants or artists.
		</p>
		<p>
			Sparta was much more strict in what it demanded of its citizens; it was a dictatorship.
			For the vast majority, the Helots, daily life involved slave labour.
			These people had no rights and were owned by the public.
			For those within the city lucky enough to be of Spartan decent, slave labour might not have been a part of daily life, but they still weren&apos;t free.
			Woman trained to be baby factories, while men trained to be obedient, endurant soldiers.
			For men, a big part of daily life also involved their syssitias.
			They were required to eat with their respective syssitia once or twice daily, as well as hunt food for their syssitia.
			Physical training for males involved dancing, gymnastics, and ball games, among other things.
			Life also involved being on edge, making sure not to ever become complacent.
			Spartans had to be ever-vigilant and on watch for threats, both without and within their borders.
			The Helots within outnumbered them, yet they kept the Helots as slaves.
			They could attempt to rise up at any point, especially if the Spartans let their guard down.
			Spartans were not allowed to trade or manufacture goods.
