      I think it’s fairly well known that there are no good genies. But otherwise, true.

          I was kind of thinking along the same lines. But to be truly ironclad, would you need a genie lawyer? Like not a lawyer who specialized in Genie Law, but an actual genie?

            This is why I hire my attorneys from Avernus. Don’t nobody got lawyers like Hell has lawyers. If you’re trying to pull one over on a genie, you’re going to need either devils or fae. And the devils are more likely to respect their contract, including any loopholes you manage to find in it.

          First wish, a lawyer who specializes in genie law. Unfortunately, the lawyer draws up a contract that screws you out of most of your wishes, not because of the genie’s influence, but because they’re a lawyer.

          It’s a room made from platinum-iridium, and kept in a triple-locked vault at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France.

            unfortunately, opening the door changes the temperature, so in practice instruments are calibrated from copies of the room built at other metrology institutions around the world.

      The indoor temperature is always at room temperature and vice versa. It’s not constant though.
