These are really fun. Do you find the wood holds up well without cracking?

I am simply shocked at how every major auto manufacturer is essentially giving them that advantage too. Pretty impressive how incapable they all truly are.

I feel this so much. I read this quote from my local newspaper today:

When completed, traffic engineers predict a morning rush hour that’s expected to reduce current Boones Ferry Road to I-5 travel time from 6.5 minutes to 4 minutes.

While an exact starting date has yet to be set, construction will begin soon for the $2.7 million project.

$2.7MM of land widening to save… 180 seconds off of commutes.

Here is the study. https://ieefa.org/resources/norways-sleipner-and-snohvit-ccs-industry-models-or-cautionary-tales

Yeah, I agree. Maybe you misread my comment?

Oh, you are opposed to offbrand bricks being discussed in the Lego community. Not just like opposed in general. I agree honestly. And I understand your position now :)

Why are you opposed to offbrand bricks? The way look at it the patents are expired and the purpose of patents is to enable a short term monopoly to create a profit motive for innovation. But after the patents expire then the invention belongs to everyone to build upon.

I dislike 1:1 copies of Lego sets. But copying the bricks is fine with me- and actually a good thing long term I think.
