That's interesting, I can't say that I've ever seen an Amazon delivery truck. I've only hit non UPS/USPS driver when getting something big that required freight delivery. I suppose that the article goes in the same

I was just musing about whether this kind of tool has been written (or is being written) for music composition, business letter writing, poetry, news copy. Interesting copyright issues. Anyone who thinks their profession will continue as-is

>most of them basically imply that construction is inefficient because contractors are dumb. Yeah, that's a problem. Usually, next up is some handwaving about building homes from shipping containers because they're rectangular.

Exactly. It isn't like walls are 8'2" high. There's a great deal of standardization built into modern home design.

Great article. It would be interesting to compare the US to Japan and Japan's tendency to favor new construction (plus the differences in features and styles).

A troll is it doing it for fun and as an art form, I'd say that the horrid people on twitter are another thing. As mentioned in an earlier thread, I see a close relationship between the Twitter People and That Guy who goes to all the c

Even without Carroll's history they look sort of creepy. Kind of a prison art feel. I vote for a John Neil/Aubrey Beardsley sort of look.
