  • It's a service.

    It's a service given to you for free by a company with no apparant way of generating income.

    Would you think about that, please?

  • More than 400000 of us for each of those locations then, and how many of us have then bothered to wander in, I wonder?

    Anyway, would you really trust an American company to actually make their sandwiches 1ft tall?

    How would you even start to eat such a thing?

    (Also most standardized feet are around 30 cm, so 12ft is 3.6 m)

  • Also there's a lot of architechts who fancy themselves to be Artists, and want nothing to do with having people living in and/or using and debasing their Art.

    Nor do they want random people looking at it without paying homage to the exalted being that is the Artist.

  • The vast majority of the value of a consumer facing computer system is in the people who help other people.

    They know that.

  • Or maybe your highschool really had that high level equipment?

  • You're joking, but the first programming "language" I learned was z80 machinecode in hexadecimal.

  • Can we be totally honest here and just state what the fear is?

    If slaves could vote they'd vote for freedom.

    There's a hole the size of a railroad junction in the 13nd amendment.

  • Ford was innovative because he used the scientific method to find out how long the work-week should be from a factory-owners perspective.
    And then he set it to that.
    If you're a cog in a wheel in a factory that is still the ideal work-week from your owners perspective, sorry.

  • Wait, what? No!

    Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but yes viewing the current Merkins as stupidly violent savages is a thing on this side of the Atlantic.

    We Europeans on the other hand would never attack someone without reason.

    We've always had reasons, usually some variation of wanting their possesion for ourselves.

    And warning: This post contains sarcasm.

  • Adventurous cooking is such a good suggestion as a time killer.

    It can be done for now and later abandoned if you end lacking the time for it.

    Only effect that will have is you learned a bit of some important life skills.

  • Someone below mentioned mandrake. I think that was it.

    In which case it would have been 5 or 6 years (and a couple of computers) after giving up on yggdrasil.

  • I never got yggdrasil to work.

    Unfortunately that makes me really wonder, what it was that I eventually got to work.

    Something on a lot 3½ inch floppies.

  • I'm pretty sure the idea of just making a tube and wearing that must be pretty universal.

    It's really versatile, after all.

    Unfortunately for people who want to (or must) present European male our version is the peplos, which is thought of as strictly female.

  • The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.

    True, but for Gods sake don't look in the mirror.

  • My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.

    The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.

    So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn't be included.

    But it's still designed for men.

  • Unfortunately there are people who will trust you if you're well meaning.
    Whether or not you have any inkling of how to do what they trust you to do.
    Or any intention...
