Maybe somethings are best left a mystery.

I agree. This guy has a brain.

I like Tiny House Nation. The buyers are looney but the builder are amazingly creative and brilliant.

yes. people can live quite nicely in very small spaces if the spaces are designed intelligently for that purpose
BUT
the problem is then the municipal infrastructure and public services of your community, after 100,000 tiny houses or trailers move in

the sewers, roads, highways, traffic lights, parks, libraries, police and fire...etv and so forth...all are not able to handle large scale additional loads or taxing of their facilities and staffing

your quality of life goes down the toilet

I’ve always liked the ‘cordwood’ idea:

It’s sure fun to shoot arrows at the Pioneers isn’t it?
I know I know the world would be a better place if McDonald’s had never invented fast food

I would no more put discarded hospital bedding into a house than I would put plague coffins into the structure.

as a pioneer, mcD was pretty close (not quite the first)
and of course became the biggest

but since their burgers cause me INSTANT barf attacks, terrible heaving...it has all the earmarks of an allergic reaction to some kind of chemical additive(s)...
but anyway....you understand that
i cannot be expected to extol their ‘virtue’ as an ‘edible’ product

obviously there are lots of other folks who can digest them, so they can have mine. smile smile smile smile smile

Wow. Not a fan of his interior design scheme, but I’d never guess it was made from recyclables. Good for him!

McDonald’s causes you gastric problems, and so you accuse them of putting dangerous deadly chemicals in their food. Thanks, I was wondering where that part ‘charity’ came from in your name

there have been numerous articles over the years about McD’s chemical additives
you can easily sift thru them anytime you wish

I am not gonna say I like McD’s

some folks still do, FINE!

I am also not gonna try to convince you that you should switch to another brand. Its entirely up to you. I switched and am super=happy at 5 guys and also like In and Out and also can eat some more brands just fine. That’s the end of my hamburger situation, I follow the burger joints as a matter of business studies...and its a very interesting industry. But, I like 5guys’ product (and the others), not McD. sorry. end of file.

I see you are afraid to respond to my charges head on.
Who is asking you to like McDonald’s? Not me.
I don’t like McDonald’s either but I don’t go around spreading false stories about them and you shouldn’t either

About once a year, I get a craving for a big Mac. I’m always sorry afterwards.
They put the sauce on with a trowel, so I always order it on the side. (The kid usually gets it wrong and slathers it on, plus gives me about 1/4 cup of the stuff on the side). Anyway, I scrape most of it off, which is not a good idea, because the sauce hides the chemical taste of preservatives, or whatever they put on the lettuce, and the steamed meat taste of the burger. Of course, there’s always the fries to look forward to...what kind of nasty oil IS that they fry them in?
Oh, well. I always know in my heart of hearts what I’m going to get. I always tell myself, “This time, it’ll taste good!”

mcD changed its fry recipe oil and as you might expect a whole lot of people hate the new fries

(inevitable?)

the 5guys fries are good (but overpriced)
