They explain it on the beginning of the movie. Max has one of the 2 or 3 cars on the city because he's a road-cop, fuel is expensive as hell, so they insist he shouldn't use a lot of it.
The criminals there go from city to city stealing the little fuel they have.
You want Mad Max? Well, better make it happen fast, because there won’t be enough oil for it!
Mad Max is about the end of oil.
The first movie was all with ethanol vehicles, that people converted after oil run out. The second movie is about a group of people that found an old tanker ship, and one pulling oil drop by drop from a dead wheel. The third movie is about people using methane for everything because there was no more oil.
And then the next two are about huge reserves of surface oil all over the place.
it looks pretty strong and flexible
Compared to steel? I would recommend you check your eyesight.
It's also labor intensive, and has plenty of durability problems. Also, worst of all, there is a huge amount of problems that can weaken it but are completely invisible once you finish your walls. Problems that happen often, because of that labor intensity.
They had to build it every time they wanted a new install, all the packages were paid for, and worse of all, they only got borderline support.
Yep, it's the one starting everything.
And doing nothing else. And still something manages to no be right.
Yes, it's a solved problem. Just don't put clocks on ever damning single appliance.
why is there still so little variety
Every appliance is built by the same local company that buys all the components (including firmware) from the same Chinese company.
If you are talking about the shape (wider on the top than on the bottom), it's not really a problem.
If you are talking about any other thing, you are probably right.
The new safety features all break down under stress and make the tool as safe as the 1996 piece as soon as you put them in a dangerous environment.
Also, both the new and the 1996 pieces have hidden explosives that were placed there by the new tooling used to build them. Nobody will tell you where they are, you should know that already. Don't hit them.
what’s the structure of the house made out of?
Reinforced concrete. It's cheap to create, the materials are quite cheap, it's very strong, and you can make it have any shape.
I never understood why the US makes strctural bits out of wood. I can understand using it on the walls, but it's completely unfit for the structure.
I'd bet most people here claiming their houses are made of bricks have a reinforced concrete structure hidden inside brick molds on the corners.
In almost the entire world.
Wood houses exist, they are just rare.
engagement bait
That's what we are calling jokes nowadays?
