Although cool shipping container is often not the optimal way to go. They are often the most expensive form of construction due to the fact that they were not designed with living in mind. So by the time you get your container, transport it, cut out all openings, figure out how to run all connections, insulate it,…

As a kid I grew up in a condo the size of around 450. Three people lived there. Good design, furniture integration and only buying items you need was key. We had holidays there where 12 people would all enjoy the space comfortably.

So true but unfortunately people have been so marketed to that even after owning a house in their latter years they seldom know what they actually need rather how they going to be perceived by their neighbors, co-workers, friends.

True...but it will take a while for a consumerist society to shift it’s mindset. People often shops for homes based not on what they need but on a (perceived) what future owners want to buy when they are ready to sell.

I’m glad you brought this up...It seems every news outlet is burring the lead and every conversation only focuses on the security of the servers. What she authorized cuts a lot deeper into the foundation of what’s left of our sinking democracy. Freedom of information is one of the few remaining resources we have to…

I wouldn’t be so sure. If it was no brainer we wouldn’t be here right now. Plus Rogue45 you replied to woundn’t lead in the stars department.

Why are we designing a human-free future again?

The real problem that needs to be addressed pronto is overpopulation.

Honestly who gives a shit...I’m sick of listening to all the constant whining about small irrelevant details from people who do nothing meaningful but complain. Meanwhile China copied and plagiarize every invention known to man and they made a great business out of it. Get over it, her speech writer borrowed some…
