These are the character and content notes for "Acknowledging the Complicated Truth."
Hsiao-han Ward -- She has tinted skin, brown eyes, and long black hair with just a little wave. She is short and skinny with no curves. She looks about 6-7 years old, but chronologically is less than one year old. She is adopted by Bagira (Orrin Ward) in 2016. She speaks English and Mandarin Chinese. Her line produces child-sized sexbots, or pedobots, of Chinese manufacture and appearance. They have artificial intelligence and fully mobile bodies. Hsiao-han has a waifish appearance that attracts pedophiles. Compassionate and adaptable, she is happier in her new life.
Qualities: Good (+2) Adaptable, Good (+2) Compassion
Poor (-2) Sexual Abuse Survivor

"When people tell me how lucky my children are, I offer a reply that upholds the girls’ dignity while acknowledging the complicated truth. 'No,' I say, 'we are all blessed to have found each other'."

Green building aims to reduce the use of resources. The number of electrical outlets per room has skyrocketed in recent decades. Terramagne-America has a separate standard for green buildings that allows fewer electrical sockets to support lower energy use, typically a minimum of one per room, though people often want more for the kitchen or utility room.
An electrical plan should be completed for a house to provide an appropriate power system. Most household outlets offer 120 volts; those for large appliances offer 240 volts. Older houses typically had 110 volts.
Linsey Corner has 120-volt service in most rooms, with 240-volt service in the kitchens and the common unit where the largest appliances are. While an android can recharge from a 120-volt outlet, it will take longer than using a 240-volt outlet. An android is smaller than an electric car, but counts as a "large appliance" because the energy demand is closer to that of a stove than that of a toaster, particularly in high use. That means the 240-volt service needs to be extended into a new room.
There are many ways to reduce electrical use at home. Among the most effective is replacing electrical appliances with non-electrical alternatives. You don't have to make yourself miserable, just think about what things you could comfortably give up or replace. The Coral Reef's decision to use T-American green building standards of one outlet in most rooms allows them to use electrical conveniences, but requires them to think mindfully about which ones they choose to use. The kitchens have more outlets, but not as many as average. There are some great kitchen gadgets that work without power. Here is a big chart of electrical conveniences with their non-electrical alternatives. Note that many replacements work on muscle power, which increases activity and therefore health. Many "modern lifestyle diseases" spring from making life a little too convenient.
Instead of every apartment having its own washer/dryer, Linsey Corner has a common unit with a fourpack of washers and dryers, along with clotheslines. Some people use those primarily. Others add a manual washing machine or visit a laundromat. See a ranked list of the best hand-crank washing machines.
Voluntary simplicity relies on everyday practices. Explore peaceful acts of opposition and meditations. Simplify your life in eco-friendly ways.
