You just answered your own question:


The system could work in theory but so could buses and passenger trains. There's too much money to be made and too many greedy assholes for this to be implemented the way it should.

Well so smash capitalism I guess seems to be the underlying fundamental answer to like 90% of society's ills.

Well at least 500 million years from now all that will be left of humanity is a thin rock strata marking a mass extinction event, full of carbonates and weird oil that started as polymers instead of plants and localized pockets that are anomalously high in metals and radioactivity and aluminum and cobalt mixed with lithium salts, and any aliens that analyze it will probably only be able to determine that a civilization existed and that they hosed everything up real bad, and then they'll be like "lol" and fly off to the next planet

yes I know you can make crepes in any non-stick pan but i like the shallow skillet that makes them easier to flip and round out.

There are a lot of these nowadays. Most of the big names are (naturally) commercial or "disruptive".

More local/colab places tend to be hard to find but the right Google search with your local city name should help you find one near you.

I've been into enameled cast iron lately since I'm lazy and find them easier to clean. Le Cruset seems to make the best stuff but it is $$$. You can't do better than a regular old cast iron skillet for searing stuff though. Gotta take care of it for best results.

There's a place near me where you can just bring ingredients and use their professional kitchen equipment to make whatever, though I think it's for-profit...

e: I just looked it up and apparently it's an entire massive commercial kitchen that's FDA certified in a way that lets you sell the stuff you make, and you have to rent the whole thing and have a special certification to use it (though the certification only costs like $35) which still sounds like it'd be fun

... except you have to buy a membership ($200) and rent it for at least 8 hours ($169.99) so nevermind :v:

Sounds like its intended more as a way to socialize the cost of a professional kitchen for small (like, actually small, out of your home kitchen) businesses

What a coincidence that we were discussing private vs public scooter/bike systems earlier today:
Uber sues Chicago for exclusive bike-share deal with Lyft

quote:

Originally Uber offered a $450 million dollar investment with a faster timeline than Lyft. However, at the time the city said: “A majority of the money [Uber] did propose represents their own costs to purchase and operate equipment they would own,” and in the deal with Lyft the city would be able to “maintain control and roll out the bikes in an orderly fashion.”

Active Transportation Alliance supported the deal with Lyft, according to Streetsblog Chicago which outlined the differences between the two proposals. One of the major issues with Jump is that it would have privatized the bike-share system and allowed the company to remove bikes at anytime—that’s happened with privately-owned dockless fleets in other cities.

Jump is Uber's bike company. They're mad that the city turned down their generous offer of the city having absolutely zero oversight or control over the bikes littering the sidewalks throughout the city.

There's a great spot in my city that is designed as an incubator for small ethical food businesses that can't afford to lease their own space / outfit a kitchen yet.

It operates 4 small commercial kitchens in a big warehouse space, and each kitchen has a small serving booth attached. The warehouse has a bar and seating etc, so it's like having four or five different restaurants in one space that change each night. The kitchens are also 24 hrs so some food makers come in late at night / early in the morning to make things that don't need immediate serving, like pickled goods or dog food, and sell them offsite. It owns.

Of course they just got served with a notice to move out in the next year or two so a developer can build yet another apartment building there.
