I’m not sure honestly sure what your point is

3D printers produce plastic crap.

every neighborhood has a few people who can build you a car from scratch in a day

How many cars does the city demand be produced each day? Cause my own city of Houston sees over 380k new cars sold annually.

the city already has several thousand car factories that don’t require registration

Itty bitty ones, sure. And they take weeks to produce a working vehicle, of substandard quality.

there’s no mechanism to enforce registration

Until you get pulled over

the cost of building a new car is a few hundred dollars

A plastic car that can go maybe a few hundred miles before falling apart if it’s made perfectly.

Building a 3d printer from a kit is different from building one from scratch

You can build cars from a kit, too. But I’m not going to do that when I can buy a used Corolla or KIA for couch cushion money and drive it into the ground over the next fifteen years.

That seems like a nightmare to set up.

Feels like people casually mocking car registration by pointing to the Hot Rod from Home Improvement.

I mean, sure. It can be done. But I failed to install a water cooling kit in my computer after a very long and harrowing weekend. I’m not fucking with this.

Getting a proper industrially manufactured firearm has never been easier.

The paranoia around Ghost Guns is more an expression of the gun regulation movement’s impotence.

If you want a gun in this country, and you’ve got more than a couple hundred dollars, you can get one.

price in the US of $0.1235/kWh, that’s $11.63

Way cheaper than I’d have guessed.

737 at max takeoff weight is 175k lbs. So that’s around $80 to get airborne. Seems like a steal when you’re charging easily triple that for one seat.

How do you think they’re clearing the native residents off the land?

Using N-force, which is the little can of Nox under my seat

$5 of electricity to lift an airplane 10,000 feet definitely seems low.

If you want to be really smug, you could say a gas powered plane requires $0 of fuel to glide for 30 minutes

I pick 30 minutes at Mach 7

How long do you want to spend at Mach 7 relative to stopping and starting? Because that could be a lot of G-force.

Me, a Meth Addict, constantly trying to blow meth smoke in your face and stab you with meth needles: “You’re going to have a pretty hard time getting by without it!”

So does Pikes Peak in Colorado, all the way up 14,000 feet.

Ah, yes. The Old Gods of Appalachia.

The thing about mountains is that they’re all big when you’re at the bottom of them

“New Mario Kart game just dropped”

“Cool. Tell me if it’s worth picking up a copy”

Also, this is just plain wrong.

A greentext that’s wrong? Highly unlikely.
