That's why I used to purchase non-official card sets (unfortunately the kids are old enough to be able to see the difference now). Also about 10% of the real-thing price (which are stupid expensive).
They have tried this (may have been USPS, but it was Amazon items). A small grocery near my house would receive packages and an email would tell me where to pick it up.
The store wasn't properly trained and it was frustrating for all parties, the experiment ended after a month or so.
It could certainly work, we have problems with packages... walking off. Myself, I send everything to my wife's office these days.
1. The author submits it. 2. It gets uprated in Firehose by people that, as we know, don't read the article. Interesting subject line, no content, no Zuck calling everyone stupid fucks again, nothing. 3. Editor looks it over for a moment once past posting threshold. 4. PROFIT. Author gets some ad revenue... .
Anyway, now we know who actually reads the articles... Valuable information.
I made it a couple of paragraphs (past where the summary was a dupe section).
Doorways and windows, get Amazons warehouse robots involved with a human to handle fit and finish. Electric, if the 3D printed part is designed correctly, should be able to be routed about, humans to setup the electric board/connection and finish plugs and other.
Water supply and nat. gas, meat bags.
For a simple house, this could remove 30-40% of the human labor.
That means they scanned the 20 or so messages I sent to actual friends requesting email addresses.

It was insightful reviewing my "friends", I only contacted about 20 out of 120 people that I'm "friends' with. I realized I really don't want or need to contact the vast majority of them.
30 years ago we, as individuals, still had beliefs and convictions, but support and information of such was limited to the people around us, magazines/newsletters, and maybe TV coverage (if widely popular). Even books.
The niches were very niche, they had little communication ability. Small pockets at best.
Enter the internet. Support for extreme or violent beliefs is available 24/7 (support for pretty much anything).
"There's someone else like me!"
While I don't transit such sites, I assume they throw out ideas that are bad, and it only takes one individual to latch onto such an idea and carry it out.
30 years ago such ideas would have been much less widespread, potentially limited to a single person.
Make custom buses (delivery and other service storage in back/available from the sides, seating for crews up front) and then add yard work, pool maintenance (probably not in Seattle much), dog poo pickup services, etc. (if they buy into house cleaning they might want cat box maintenance). How about LAUNDRY! (that shit never stops).
Vary buses/vans/cars for crews by demand for whatever on a given day. Multiple vehicles could visit an area if needed (to optimize time spent which = $ spent on people time).
Computer schedules crews, services, and deliveries.
I had a delivery almost every 3 days last year (with Prime we just order one offs). Ancillary services would be easy to implement, although being in the house is certainly more complicated (I would have recommended several outside-of-house options initially, but trusted cleaners are certainly deliver and I would never use their lock/entry system - even though I've lost several packages to theft in the last year).
It's Manna Stage #1. But computers are good at optimizing thing like this.
Schedule based on Amazon orders in a given area (with cleaning requests as well),. Send an Amazon delivery truck with 2-3 teams of cleaners and packages for that area. Cleaners clean, delivery people deliver.
I think the key is geographic consolidation, but cleaners being able to deliver could be a reasonable part of it (I'm not sure if that would be legal, not sure why it wouldn't...).
Cats that live in the wild or indoor pets allowed to roam outdoors kill from 1.4 billion to as many as 3.7 billion birds in the continental U.S. each year.
Europe has realized that sex isn't a bad thing, in fact, it's what keeps our species going.
The Right is afraid of sex for puritan purposes. The Left is afraid of sex because they aren't sure what gender they are. The rest of us just don't want to get sued for harassment.
There needs to be another direction, maybe Front, rather than Left or Right. I wouldn't recommend Behind.......
Get in touch with Mr. Musk. He would probably do it.......
That said, the groups working on launching rockets from high altitudes are interesting, much less fuel, but certainly the same impact on the atmosphere.
It would have far lower vibration due to far lower moving parts.
You missed that... Tesla has proven them wrong given their charging infrastructure, this is an attempt to save face, which is covered by pie given what they said...

Obviously you are referring to Smokey and the Bandit.
Many "inept cops chasing cool criminals" movies owe their central concept to this movie.
And beer sales and distribution regulations and laws were certainly impacted, major waves across the industries.
My wife stumbled upon our order history in Amazon recently, we place a Prime order about every 3 days (for at least the past 2 years).
Prime is worth every penny for us.
We do watch more Netflix than Amazon streaming, but Amazon is where we purchase things rather than our crappy cable provider - AT&T.
Fuck Pokemon.

I've got McNet and Mead nearby right now. It's urban, about 25 connections at this time. There's also one called "getoffmyinternet".
Nothing too crazy, but not bad for right at this moment.
Robots could probably handle foundations.

Or just go straight up manufactured homes. Here's what's available for under $30K USD near me:

Make it off site, efficient. Deliver, and, weird for a house, install.
Problem with an existing answer.

There already is, it's the NSA, but their goals are the opposite of what you describe.
I think it's due to the internet.

Excellent ending of your post by the way.
Solution via annoyance:
Locate any store that doesn't accept physical currency, have cash on hand for full very large transaction.
Select a massive amount of stuff and head to register.
Oh what, you don't take physical currency, restock your shelves.
Make sure to take only one of everything, and from all about the store. Especially frozen stuff, it has be be put back quickly or discarded.
Open a soda to drink while you are shopping. Oh wait, you won't even accept payment for it? Thanks!
Further thinking.

Could be Soylent Green but with the rich in their walled gardens keeping walled farms for their food supply.
I know what everyone else will be eating.
And the rich won't stay around the plebs, Picture the opposite of Escape from New York.
Massive die off then primitive living... Sounds like a good movie to me...
Let's not forget about cats.

Well it's called the Zuckerverse, and the number base is a decimal between 9.1 and 9,.5 (I think).
Thanks for the recommendations, I will check them out as I enjoy graphic novels. Started with Watchmen, man, that was awesome.
Individual Titles:
The Watchmen
V for Vendetta
300 (get the hardback, the movie is a perfect rendition of the original comic)
Series:
Sin City
You point this out the day before St. Patrick's Day celebrations...
There will be many men about in skirts/kilts tomorrow.
That's a great idea. Heavy trucks cause exponentially more road damage than passenger vehicles due to their weight.
They also have a lot of tires.
That doesn't appear to be the case. 11 quarters of profit in a row.

Of course Twitter enjoys inflated user counts and usage.
I enjoy completely ignoring it.
