schestowitz-TRbut if humans nuke or "conventionally" bomb the jungles, it's even worseApr 22 14:58
Techrights-secYes lumber comes from the Nordic nations which consist of tree farms.  ThereApr 22 15:03

schestowitz-TRthey listed more proprietary things (promotions) than the free stuffApr 22 15:08
schestowitz-TRideally, I think, companies that make "things" should provide CAD files for key componentsApr 22 15:13
schestowitz-TResp. if they don't offer repairs or sparesApr 22 15:13
schestowitz-TRthen, when things break, you can take the "order" (cad file) down to the local shopApr 22 15:13
schestowitz-TRbut the way today's things are manufactured ispoor in the modularity senseApr 22 15:13
schestowitz-TRthey just don't make it repeairableApr 22 15:13
