  • Your 3d printer doesn’t have other utilities to accommodate. The printing is basically just the walls. Every other utility (Power, water, sanitary, HVAC, foundations, windows, doors, metal fabrications, networking etc) are all still done by people, all made with options made by other manufacturers.

    Your printer also uses quick setting thermoplastic, not a concrete slurry that needs to set over the course of days instead of fractions of a second.

    This and typical FDM printing are related, but truths about printing out a plastic trinket don’t necessarily translate to large concrete structures.





  • Did you read the article or watch the video?

    Of course deserts have low humidity, but there are areas where in the early morning winds from off shore bring in humid air for a small period of the day. This can be harvested now with nets, although the article and video cover using electrified mesh to increase the yield.

    If you look up for harvesting the first photo in the link is from a desert in Chile. It’s been studied since the late 60’s.





  • Clients looking to rent data center space still like to see pretty spaces in their giant concrete boxes. So on a campus there is usually one of the builds that has something prettier for the front admin section.

    But square footage is money, so it’s much smaller.

    They actually go for LEED certification for their spaces a lot of times. So they get an energy efficiency badge for a building that uses the total power of a ~3500 homes (in the builds I have seen) 24/7/365.




  • This is why estate taxes only kick in at a pretty large amount. For instance the threshold for the US federal estate tax to kick in is 13,990,000 dollars and up, for 2025. For the state I live in there is no estate tax.

    If you’re up in that range and above then you can also be pretty sure that no, they did not pay the same taxes working class people do, they probably paid less.

    It’s just used as a talking point for Republicans because people like yourself don’t realize that by the time it kicks in the recipient is already set for life and people that rich probably weren’t paying their fair share into the system anyways.
