Hey me too, I also have a DIY inventory system, maybe yours is more developed. But I also had the concept of items for n arbitrarily nested containers. I also track historical move…

OK right, so they're at 170 million now, maybe ~1 life saved. I see it might be a bit early to be making claims about that. Also in comparison the cases of disruption/blocking inte…

I'm hoping for a self driving taxi + trains combo to maybe solve the problem. For one a self driving taxi fleet could take up vastly less space - you'd no longer need one car per p…
