Sorry! I have dyscalculia, so I’ll admit I didn’t try to analyze the numbers at all. I can delete the post

Thank you so much! You and that post answered my questions perfectly

I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes…and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•

I could be wrong, but I don’t think you can grow all plants in hydroponics. For example, anything that grows on trees(large root systems) as well as grain crops (where you need a lot of plants together, rather in individual pods like in most hydroponics).

The only alternative I can think of is a greenhouse system. Like what indoor botanical gardens use for trees, but instead designed for farming. That would be expensive(more than farmers could afford), but it would also weather-protect crops.

But you are right about hydroponics or aquaponics for a lot of produce, though!

Interesting read! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing! I will check if my library has it!

As far as I know (I have never 3D printed), yes. I vaguely remember a guy who tows around a 3D printer on his bike into parks, and prints parts for people. It wouldn’t be instant(I’m guessing they tell the person to come back later), but it is possible. I’ll try to find the video haha.

Keeping in mind I’ve never 3D printed, here are some sites that look promising.

Also, I’ve seen tutorials for 3D printing on Instructables, and people sometimes give download files in the instructions.

This one doesn’t list all of them, but it has some: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/

This site might help with planning!

It looks like there are some! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/

They go off of who volunteers. For example, if a person who specializes in fixing stand mixers volunteers, that will be one of the tables people can visit. That repair person brings the parts (for example, there are a few parts in stand mixers that tend to break, so the repair person would know to bring fixes for those). I have also heard of repair cafe’s elsewhere even bringing in 3D printers to help with part replacement.

Here is the text from a recent one in my town:

Items that are accepted at Repair Café events:

• Electronics such as gaming consoles, CD player, DVD player, camera, adaptor cord, etc.
• Small appliances such as toasters, coffee makers, lamps, waffle makers…you get the idea!
• Smaller pieces of furniture such as small wooden furniture pieces, a clock, or a plastic item that needs some crazy glue.
• Toys! Whether it needs glue or some wire soldering, we can try to repair it!
• Clothing or housewares (clean please!) that need mending. Full alterations will not be done.

Items not allowed:

• Microwaves

I edited it to add the video! Sorry about that! I posted it on my phone, and thought it worked, but it didn’t.

Ah! You’re right, sorry! I posted it on mobile and thought it worked, but I was wrong. Thanks again!

That quote was for the shoes. Sorry for not being clear about that. I’ll edit my post to add dividers in case that helps

I didn’t mean it as a advert (I even pointed out that more work needs to be done on efficiency), I just wanted to share an energy generation possibility that most people don’t know is a thing. I apologize that my wording came off as so bias

Thanks for the info! I will try to research those

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

If you can find it I will absolutely link it! No need to stress if you can’t, though

Good points!

You’re absolutely right about courtyards! I’ve read about them being used all over the world! For example, in China, they are called(in English) “Skywells”. The other thing I like about courtyards is that they can give kids a safer space to play, or even just a little greenery.

Would you mind if I edit my post to add your ideas to the list with credit to you?

Those are all absolutely wonderful ideas!! Would you mind if I edited my post and added them to the list with credit to you?
