Is a timber frame house from back then the same as one built post 1950 though? Some Q’s:

• Have materials/practices decreased in quality?
• Has there been a shift from a sense of pride in craft and duty to build well towards cutting corners and saving $?
• Has the density and properties of wood changed as we use smaller trees grown more quickly in monocultures compared to old-growth harvested lumber of pre 1900s?

Maybe it can barely run a web browser because it’s working so hard spying on you?

Oh my god. I can’t get the song out of my head now! Sweet Jesus what have you done to me?!

Seems like we’re overdue.

Yeah, but humans are not very effective at organising humans to act in their best interests in a coordinated and logical manner. I feel that this will be even more of a challenge post-collapse. Some bunkers may get caulked. Most will get left alone.

Your current ISP:

No Italian rebel crisis, no more Cato, no more independent Pompeii, Julias Ceaser got married, this Cicero guy really knows how to argue. So much better than the 70s.

I know it’s a real thing, but I still think of a sexy FBI agent every time I see “interrobang”

Right, because that’s a viable option. Worked so well for smart TVs too.

Muad’Dik!

Bought VPN shares and water shipping company shares because they know wasting money on this shit instead of on public infrastructure to provide more reliable clean water is only good for commercial interests.

I always feel like these induced demand arguments are suggesting that adding more lanes means the same number of people are just choosing to do more driving. Maybe, as you add more lanes you create the infrastructure for a city to grow, and it adds more people which then fill up the new lanes. People aren’t just going out and buying a new car or rolling an existing car out of the driveway that they were previously not using because a new lane is built. These are net new drivers, who would not be in that city if the infrastructure for them hadn’t been built.
