Weren't you in Chicago, if so were you affected by the crap that took place a couple of weeks ago?

Do you mean covid, the protests, or the looting?
Looting made it to my neighborhood, hit the Walgreeens and clothing store down the street.
The looting was mostly downtown for one night and then the southside, southwest side, west side.

Sorry I meant the looting/vandalism. We had some vandalism in our area, mostly broken windows on businesses (mostly liquor stores) and cars.

Rising sea levels, and they're building this right next to the Red Sea.

3rd: people are stupid. Still building and living near active volcanoes, on highly seismic areas, near rivers that flood badly every 10 years... Still not cleaning drains and riverbeds after thousands of homes, livelihoods and lives lost...

As most cities do. At least this one has a design while others are just messes that "grown", even if I prefer the latter.
I live in the countryside anyway, cities are all hideous.

I have so much to say about this, all political. So, no comment other than yes, the pictures make it look overtly artificial and hideous.

Like most of these overly ambitious projects, the issue isn't the initial cost, but the upkeep. Even in the unlikely case that they manage to build the city, I expect it to look like a futuristic slum within a few decades.
Furthermore, one of the reasons that "normal" cities are so successful is that they can change (albeit slowly) to meet changing needs. The planned cities often leave out many human needs in their design because of the prejudices of the planners or stakeholders, and are much more difficult to modify.
I would love to be proved wrong on this.

Are wall nuts made of walnuts?

True story - I keep telling my dad that they don't sell walls, so he should stop spelling it "Wallmart".
It just won't stick.

Or the smell of that one bad nut in every group?
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

That post came like a bolt from the blue - not the usual screwing around.
Note that context change and pun are really one in the same.
