My guess is that it came from an architect focused on actual buildings, not one focused on producing eggs. Last time I checked, most architect degree programs don't have an emphasis on proper chicken habitat or coop design. On the flip side, I also don't see many chicken farmers drawing and...

Don't you mean 11.11mm? :D

I agree. The current inflation is something probably no one has ever seen in their lifetime. What we are seeing in the current state of inflation is an amplified ripple effect of supply and demand. In the last year, production and shipping came to a halt because of the worldwide pandemic. As...

This is the idea that people need to grasp and understand. Just because the price seems insane to one person doesn't mean that it is. It could very likely be considered an affordable value to another. It's easy for people to say "You spent what? I did it for $$$ cheaper!" The bottom line is...
