That us cheap. Many places charge ~$250K. But then you own a house and can sell it later...

Ah, shit man.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his "most important connection".[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance "has cited Yarvin as an influence himself."[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump's second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin's ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was "an informal guest of honor" due to his "outsize influence over the Trumpian right."[21]

Ah shit, I didn't know living a lie was an option.

Can I do this at home, or do I need a remote cabin?

Have they always been the same woman?

It us wild that there is not a need. Distribution is (or was) the issue. Very sad humans refuse to feed others.

Remember, not all land is the same. Some is too dry to grow human food. Some too wet. There are also other things that land is either too or not enough.

Is Rocket League a RPG?

No.

The number of people in democracies is going up.

Still a huge number of people living in autocracies.

Fuck, I read the wrong label. Not good.

With an electric car one may be able to plug an actual oven in...

So as far as quality of life, it wouldn't even cost them anything.

That was my point.

There are near 800 billionaires in the USA. Assuming all only have $1 billion dollars and it is all invested, applying the "4% rule" gives a sustainable $40 million each per year. With $10 million to personally spend, that gives $24 billion a year for charity and public works.

I failed to find a list of the costs to solve various issues. Homelessness could be solved in a couple years.

The numbers provided are just a starting place. Many problems are extremely expensive. Actually working to solve them would help.

Good.

People cannot believe something is real if they don't understand it. Helping more people understand it will help them see reality.

(The rebuttals about imaginary creatures mostly prove the point. All are simple caricatures.)

Then a book recommendation. "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter".

The author does the math on a number of products to see if one should make or buy. It factors in things like skill involved.

I like it.

Love it! A nice treat after work.

Those are good points.

I had been thinking of partly cooking on the engine, and finishing in the oven. (Use case is baking something that needs 90 minutes in the oven.) Actually moving hot food is an issue, though one we deal with normally when baking.

2008! I had no idea people still did this. Fantastic!

While I don't disagree, this is a line of thought that is used to talk people out of everything, including many things we do commonly.

Temperature control is less important for many baking items (potatoes, some casseroles) than modern recipes indicate. Modern temperature control is "easy", but not needed for many things. Temperature control is critical for a few things, and those would be a bad match.

It does seem a better seal than "pinched aluminum foil" would be needed.

Mythbusters has an episode (Food Fables) with Alton Brown

Thank you. Looks like Episode 196 from Season 13 Episode 7.

The 90°C is a big issue as I would need ~205°C (400 °F) for real baking.

Most car trips don’t warrant a stopping for food.

Yes. It would be helpful in areas where the grocery store (or Costco) is 15 to 30 minutes from the eating place (home).
