What does that $35 have to cover in expenses? Presumably the author gets a chunk. How much has to be paid out to the AI system that wrote your book? I can buy a brand new copy today on Amazon of Treasure Island (now in the Public Domain so no payment to the author) for $3.25.

I buy books all the time that cost less than $40.

Very poetic but I doubt you can provide evidence.

IOW, you don't get to know anything about it, you just get to know something about it.

I must have missed it. Did you post it in a different thread?

Due to the need for personnel as both the dot com bubble and Y2K occurred at the same time, IT people were being pilfered from other companies right and left. In early 1999 I was called into my boss' office and told they were giving me a 20% raise just to keep pace with the marketplace. They clearly felt their employees might chase better pay and were taking no chances. It was a great time to be in IT.

In the 1980s I was a programmer at AT&T and we used to joke how all hell was going to break loose in 2000, but decided I'd probably not be in the field anymore. Then I spent 1999 replacing systems for Monsanto in Asia.

I'm afraid not.

I wasn't so much asking if you could buy it. I was curious how you go about turning ready mix into a slab resting on four walls, and how well its strength supported that much weight across its span. I've never even seen a concrete roof around here.

So you can build for instance a flat roof made of concrete as the OP suggested?

Concrete only performs well under compression. I wonder how much support must be built under a concrete roof to withstand the weight of a garden. Certainly you can provide similar support under a framed roof.

Can you please provide some citations to support your assertions? Wood homes don't typically have the wood exposed to the elements and periodic maintenance keeps the walls and roof quite functional. What exactly is the duration difference of concrete vs wood framing? Are rooftop gardens necessary in some way when building a home? What are the maintenance needs of rooftop gardens? What is the cost associated with building in this additional green space? If you want to add another floor to a concrete building then the rest of the building must have been engineered with this potential in mind when you first designed the building. You can do exactly the same thing with a wood frame house. Can you please provide a citation? Concrete transfers heat easier than wood, and you can achieve the same R-value in any building with insulation. I had a brick home and in the summer we would turn the hose on the side of the house to cool it off inside. It was like a brick oven. How many of these exist? The median subdivision size in the US is 25 acres. Citation please. As will wood homes.

Can you please be specific about chapter and verse?

Hubris: a personality trait that describes someone who has extreme pride, arrogance, or dangerous overconfidence.

I guess I'm one of those brainless, ignorant idiots. What is the proper way to dispose of used tea bags?

What is the "this" that you are referring to?

Your brain has some unique wiring! 😂

So... The 13th lurks in December but not November?

I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone is getting so excited. There are drones in the sky. There are things in the sky that people think are drones but may be planes or helicopters. None of them seem to be doing anything harmful. Since most people seem to think they are drones, why get excited? Drones are nothing new. Next we are going to hear there are birds in the sky, or at least they look like birds, so the military needs to do something about it!

Can't we do that already? What is the benefit of your new system?

Can you give me an example of your new form of philosophy in action?

Agreed. This is not a blog. Troof doesn't get to just ignore everyone's comments just because they don't agree with parts of his version of utopia.

So as long as your young daughter isn't aware (and thus won't be hurt) it is alright for anyone who wishes to watch her take a shower. And as long as nobody sees and he doesn't get hurt, a caretaker can sexually assault the comatose patient in his care. And as long as she doesn't know, I can break into a woman's apartment and sleep in her bed when she is out of town. And a million others...

I don't know. What do you do when the results don't match up? Paper ballots are prone to questionable votes. Some people don't trust all electronic voting because they cannot physically see the vote. I suspect electronic is potentially the better option but there will always be those who question the results.
