  • Yeah, it would definitely rain inside the dome.

    Source: my dad. He was in the Air Force, and once worked in a giant aircraft hangar that was big enough to accommodate an airship. He told me that the hangar had its own “weather”, and conditions inside the hangar were announced like weather forecasts.

    That was only one hangar. Even though it was uncommonly large, it wasn’t nearly as big a city block.

    On an unrelated note, I wonder how long it would take the inside of the dome to get filthy from things like exhaust.






  • Airbnb sounds like a good idea when you imagine people using it as first envisioned: doing short-term rentals on an otherwise unavailable space that’s not being used. Handy for vacationers, and it’s a fair way for owners to make a few extra bucks, right?

    It sucks, but it’s predictable, that owners are abusing the system. Buying a place specifically for Airbnb rentals should be cracked down on. Ridiculously picky rules are NOT okay. Cleaning fees need to be capped, unless there’s solid evidence (solid evidence by courtroom standards, not Airbnb standards).



  • Addiction is everywhere, but cigarettes are unique. It’s no secret that cigarette companies deliberately get people addicted, and then let them die, simply because it’s profitable.

    You KNOW you’re being used. Voluntarily paying to make it happen is stupid.

    I’m sympathetic towards older folks who got hooked when the companies were still lying to the public, but anyone who started smoking in the last few decades is a moron.
