Hinduvta does not exist as a driving political force in Nepal. You are thinking of India. Nepal is secular albeit there is a small faction vying for power based on hindu ideologies but they are a very small portion of nepal politics. Again there is no communal flair that has entered into national discourse like we see in India or some ME countries. Nepal is pretty chill in that regards, surprisingly so given the whole country has multitudes of ethnic groups. There are still caste based incidents in remote areas but not so much in urban cores. Knowing the decisions the nincompoop leaders have done out of whim over the last decade or so I am fairly certain that this decision was also not done with due dilligence.

This is completely not true. There were small skirmishes between Hindu and Muslims on small city in the western part of Nepal but there is no communal violence as you think there is. Nepal arbitrarily bans things without any due diligence, well because we have inept leaders.

Seems like it would have been a better option to do the final cooking which is around 7-8 min in the oven at the delivery doorstep.

Hoverboards. I want those damn things as was prophesied by back to the future.

Imagine being the world's richest man, even for a little bit. I would imagine that does some stuff to your ego.

This is what happens when urban planning goes wrong. In asian cities where most office buildings are zoned along with residential buildings and other types of buildings (shops, service providers etc) the office commercial property would just get converted to another type of commercial and possibly residential property and life moves on. An extreme example of this would be to have residential building type be almost identical to a commercial type which I have seen plenty of in south Asia. The problem in US is that when offices close down the entire city dies. The economic activity halves, it feels empty, creepy and unsafe. A lot of cities in the US exist to cater to the 9-5 office workers that relapse back to suburbs far from the city for anything other than work and some entertainment.

I think most older buildings are able to be converted, but not the new types of commercial buildings.

are you assuming that all refugees entering the country are the bottom of the barrel?

Its not like you have to be confined within the 15 min city if you dont want to. You an always take the train or the bus to the 7-11 1 hour away to get your beer. Its just convenient to be in a place where you dont have to drive far away to get your basic amenities. Any East asian city should be a pretty good example.

I agree.

Without OS the talent coming into big tech would probably be severely lesser quality.

I also watched star wars as an adult. I find the source material average.

I was thinking about all of the masks that were created super quickly and also dumped. Those masks do not look like they would recycle quickly.
