According to the savor team, it was quite easy for them:

“We start with a source of carbon, like carbon dioxide, and use a little bit of heat and hydrogen to form chains which are then blended with oxygen from air to make the fats & oils"

I want to guess they are glossing over a complicated enzyme they created, or other form of reagent.

To be fair, and I really hate agreeing with wannabee fascist trash like Trump's entourage; it is very surprising a roof top, at most 250 yards from the stage, was not secured.
Your point still stands though, they do not give a shit about school shootings, or anyone who isn't a means to more power/money for themselves.

"over 600", considering how much shelf space it would take, to store 600+ movies in their covers; a redbox is probably a very space efficient way to store and resource optical media.

That all sounds very complicated, there is a much simpler way, in an official act of course, to deal with traitors:

Title 18 §2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, ...

They actually gave them a loophole doing the exact opposite, vehicles with a bigger footprint had less strict mpg requirements.

This was written in 2011:

CAFE standards create profit incentive for larger vehicles
The current Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards create a financial incentive for auto companies to make bigger vehicles that are allowed to meet lower targets, according to a new University of Michigan study.
...
The loophole is the formula for setting mile-per-gallon targets. The standards, which actually depend on the sizes of vehicles automakers produce, are expected to require that firms boost average fuel economy to 35.5 mpg by 2016 and 54.5 mpg by 2025. Those oft-cited numbers are averages. In reality, each car company must meet a different standard each year determined by the literal “footprints” of the vehicles it makes. A vehicle’s footprint is its track width times its wheelbase.
According to the study, the sales-weighted average vehicle size in 2014 could increase by 1 to 16 square feet

Apparently decreasing sales, but half a million Buicks sold in 2023, plus the whole: "GM China sales decreased nine percent to 2,098,980 units during the complete 2023 calendar year. Sales decreased at all five brands marketed by GM in the Asian country, including Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Baojun and Wuling."

At that scale, it would be extremely embarrassing if GM can't stay competitive & profitable.

4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 33, 36, 40, 44, 50, 55, 60, 66, 70, 77, 80, 88, 90, 99

Regardless of if 30, 50 or 100 is max. 13, 14, 16, 18 can be used if absolutely necessary, may get the volume right, but will have to live with the 'dial' is unbalanced.

So your composition is HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and Swede?

There once was a pipe dream of a dual mode car/monorail vehicle. RUF utube video seemed promising, since cars & busses could dock together for longer stretches on rail.
I believe the furthest it went, was a test track loop and a couple prototype vehicles.

I'm considering printing it, coloring it in similarly, and hanging it up in my cubicle. Decently hi-res version I found
Also came across a "I can do hard things" which would also be a good candidate.

https://in-the-sky.org/satmap_worldmap.php?gps=1 has a map of satellite positions.

The app GPS essentials is even better though, shows all the GPS satellites above the horizon for your position, in grey until your phone gets a lock-on. Inner circle is 45°, outer is horizon, makes it quick to get a rough idea of where they are in the sky.
Actually, in a dense city you might be better off using a phone. Since it will position you based on cell towers, WiFi Geo mapping, and whatever GPS satellites are visible.

Dang, that's much bigger than I expected! Good to know though, thanks!
