Because costs are also high. A large supermarket takes up vast amounts of expensive real estate both for the store itself and for parking. There may be a warehouse as well (though those can generally be put on less-expensive real estate). N

I'm using the OP's term. If you don't like the term, take it up with that person. It's not "flamebait" in any case. Instead, perhaps you're disagreeing with my assertion that most families in the past were

You mean what they call "crafts occupations"? There again, you (and they) are making the mistake of lumping all of "those people" together. Someone with an IQ of 80 could probably be a decent drywaller or roofer, maybe

Yes, I remember when movie popcorn was the demonic food of the day. Now, no one is going to argue that an all-movie-popcorn diet would be healthy, especially with the fake "butter", but realistically how much movie popcorn do peop

Burger joints essentially get tallow for free. There are some recyclers now that will pay you a bit for used oil, but I doubt it's enough to make it cheaper to buy fresh vegetable oil rather than cooking the fries in the beef fat you a

That woman at the top (at least I assume it's supposed to be a woman) should be wearing a beauty pageant sash reading "Ms Uncanny Valley of 2024". Creepy AF, IMO. Agreed that some of the others aren't so bad, however the

An orbit to ground space elevator would indeed be challenging, but the cable doesn't have to go all the way to the ground to be useful. Shorter tethers have many applications, and those can be made out of non-exotic materials (e.g. Kev

I'm not sure what difference that would make? I mean, obviously metal is going to be stronger than fused plastic, but I gather here that what makes it stronger than normal is the structure. Wouldn't FDM plastic objects made with t

Creality has open-sourced at least some of its 3D printer designs. https://github.com/CrealityOfficial Maybe worth a look to see if the parts are available where you are? Even if not, you'd probably learn a lot just by

A hundred years from now? I'll bet if you took a survey even today , vastly more people would recognize Tolkien and Lewis than Moorcock. That was probably true even before the LOTR and CON movies. Tolkien and Lewis sold a helluva lot
