Nothing is built to last here. It's all motivated by profit. The line of thinking that a lot of contractors have when building houses is "How fast and how cheaply can you build something and get away with it?"

>>70802297
Toilets ain't cleaning themselves you know. The money goes for electricity, water bills and cleaning supplies. The lady in there does not get her salary through "tips".

You retards. Most of the northern europe have mostly wood houses so low temps is not an issue. And pure brick houses are really 3rd world. There are older brick houses in the US that were built 50-100 years ago. There are better technologies now. Even multi million dollar mansions here are not 100% brick because it is so 3rd world. There are no/very few brick houses in california because of the risk of quakes. So Chile you are just poor.

3000 sq ft is pretty average actually. And rich peoples' houses can be much much bigger. They can afford any style and any size and it doesnt matter to them. So what you say about the size makes no sense.

But a brick house allows for just as many window openings as a wooden house, it won't look like a monolith at all. And also it won't rot away after 30 years.

Also I've been to Italy and their houses really aren't bad in the summer. The walls are thick and if you close the window shutters early enough in the day it'll stay cool inside until the evening.

Moving goalposts, nice. Also how would people invent electricity and magnetism without others before them, who paved the way hmm?
Ah, but it is very easy to make ignorant statements when you're surrounded by everything that was invented by others well, well before you, starting from that chair you're sitting in, the clothes you're wearing, the food you're eating - those plants didn't domesticate themselves - even the language you're speaking.
Your post reeks of 21th century entitlement. Ignorant and stupid, like a child.

>why are irrelevant cunts so butthurt about other cunts education?
As a matter of fact, I'm glad you brought up electricity, Ottó Bláthy was the co-inventor of the modern electric transformer, voltage stabilizer, the turbo generator, and the high-efficiency turbo generator, among others. Ányos Jedlik helped invent the dynamo and the electric motor.
I could go on for a very long time, but I see no point in educating you, your teachers should've done that job already. That means either they're very bad at their job, or you're stupid, and I'm pretty sure its the latter.

If you just set your gear to neutral you can start it up without pushing in the clutch.
But pushing in the clutch by habit is a good idea if you're a retard who'd eventually forget to check the stick and try to start the car without being in neutral.
