Did you ask one of your poorer friends before putting words into other peoples mouth?

This whole bunch of comments shows that y'all have far too much money for your own good.

you don't see why? really? Please ask one of your poorer friends if they see why.

Your comment made me remember another handy rule:

"if stuff doesn't cut both ways, find out why it doesn't"

Wut? The prices have risen since? surprisepikachu.png

Some friends in the US are really non-ironically worried about the country coming apart within the next few years.

Do you, by chance, write cheap adventure stories for a living?

Cause this sounds like something I read a few months ago. A pretty silly plan.

I care about these things and left crypto over a decade ago.

You are missing the central point of the Walkie-Talkie and Disney-Concert-Hall controversies. These are Frank-Gehry(-style) buildings, and in those roughly half of all surfaces is a concave and half is a convex mirror. THIS concentration to one point is what turns the summer sun into death rays.

Reflected sun, by definition, has a little less energy than direct sun. So, given the mirror walls are straight, as the designs show, you get (at maximum) 200% of normal desert sun energy, which isn't comfortable, but not a Gehry-style death ray.

With an express train from the easternmost stop to the westernmost stop, zero in-between stops... possible, but not very practicable.

You are right. And I do understand why he does it. I can see his side.

But I sit on the other side. I hate it and will tell everyone how much I hate it.
