It's funny, the world was excited for basically a teched out Toyota Tundra with shitloads of battery. The designers were ready to build that, and they could have kept literally everything else the same (steer by wire, steel skin, glass, bed cover, etc) and everyone would have been happy.

Even looking weird people were excited for it.

But then they deleted half the range and doubled the price and ::pikachu face:: everyone hates it.

Sure, musk was the reason it looks weird, but I'd be willing to bet he's 100% the reason for those other things too, because they likely had to cut weight and size to make it's weird look physical possible.

(I'd still buy it if it had 500+ range)

Exactly! You actually CAN have 50 people finish something 50x faster, but it takes a shitload of planning, and that equals time and money no company I have ever worked for, or even known of, would allocate to something that isn't generating immediate income.

Take the Hoover Dam for example: Dsigned over 3 ish years and built in 5, at a time when nothing that huge had ever been made before, at less than a billion in today money, and 2 years ahead of schedule. It's 90 years old.

If your baby doesn't have one of these, they're gonna get the evil eye and that'll make them hot, cranky and sick.

I do not want to be a CFA defender, because they really are shitty, but they have the logistics down to a science. The volume they push through a drive through puts other drive throughs to shame. To directly answer your question, the more they know about what orders are coming, the better prepared they can be. If they know the next 5 cars are ordering nuggets, they can put more nuggets and less patties in the deep fry (for example).

It's terrible of them to make their employees do this shit in the cold and rain though. Just let the line be inefficient for a little bit, it's not like the chicken craving cultists are going to leave the line.

it's the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep

Different

Some people are so negatively affected by society and its structures, literally anything would be better.

Harvey Weinstein, but using him is practically cheating.

The sexual tension is getting out of hand. They really need to expel their egg sacks and fertilize all over each other already.

Just give it to your warrior. I played a game where I wanted just ice spells for RP reasons, but most of the ice spells suck, so I just reskinned the fire ones as ice, and left the damage as "cold" fire (affected by fire resistance) so as not to affect the game balance.

Ice bolt, ice ball, ray of ice, etc.
