Having buttons and knobs to operate your car with is a safety hazard compared to having voice controls.

Noise reduction in buildings have come a long way. Anyone living in an old apartment is going to find it more noisy.
but it’s hard to then build the services that this many people need
The idea is that there are the same amount of people on the island.
Island 1 might need 2 small schools to serve the top and bottom of island.
Island 2 could put one large school in walking distance of living building.
One large school is much cheaper than multiple smaller ones.
Same with things like fire stations. You only need one around the living building on island 2. One station on island 1 might not be in range of all the homes.
You are not thinking about the large picture.
Renting a tiller and throwing down some clover seeds is cheap compared to a lifetime of lawn people.
Just like with your first comment. Yes things break and are expensive, but you’re not throwing ~1500 a month out the window renting.
You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma
Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.
It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.
When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.
If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.
Plasma “donation” is a good thing.
I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.
"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licóur
Of which vertú engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye,
So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially, from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."

How is it “taking their meastaking their measurement system and fucking it up”?
USA uses inch, feet, yard. There is small, medium, large.
Metric has centimeters, decimeters, meters. There is small, medium, large.
Everyone knows a yard and a meter are about the same. Everyone also knows centimeters are tiny.
When someone who doesn’t use the metric system thinks of how tall they are, they use feet. Medium.
I’m 2 yards tall. Someone that’s 5 feet tall is 1 2/3 yards. 5 1/2 feet is 1.83 yards.
You wouldn’t use yards to measure a person. You’d use feet.
When you ask someone that doesn’t use metric how tall someone is they have to pick between cm or m. Most people couldn’t tell you in yards so how do you expect them to do it in meters?
If they just had to think in feet and then ×3 to get decimeters, it would be easy to convert. Maybe even have a decimeter ruler.
5.5 feet is 16.5 dm with quick math. Or 1.65m. Truly, it is 1.68m.
3 decimeters is equal to 1 foot.
1 yard is equal to 9 decimeters.
Just multiply by 3
I’m 6 ft tall. If someone asks me how tall I am in metric, I just say 18 decimeters.
An American football field is 100 yards, or 300 feet. 900 decimeters.
An 8ft board is 24 decimeters
Really not that hard to convert. Sadly no one that uses the metric system uses decimeters for some reason.
A standard doorway in US is 3 ft. Has to be that for code. 91.4 cm or .91 meters. If you used 9 decimeters it would only be .5 inch off.
You round to 90 cm you’d be .5 inch off. If you round to .9 meters you’d be almost .5 inch off.
If the metic system was shown to the US as decimeters, they would be on board more.

7+6
You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.
I’d split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head
Same thing as 7+3+3

What happens if you turn your kitchen sink on? Your drain shouldn’t have a problem draining the amount of water.
Now take a large 5 gallon bucket of water. Dump the whole thing in your sink.
Not only is the amount of water too much for the drain but the volume of water makes it hard for the drain to even function properly.
How long is there going to be water filling in the sink? Eventually, it will all find its way out, but that takes time
