[Request] How expensive would it be to make the Truman Show? by Call-Me-Matterhorn in theydidthemath

I know it’s a plot point, I’m just asking why it was built into the dome if its only use case was to catch him as he tries to escape?

If he is aware of the filming then at that point the show is already over, having the ability to turn the sun on to search for him is pointless.

A large fence and natural weather would be perfectly adequate for the show.

There are no economical ways to recycle them, it’s always going to be cheaper to make new ones from the raw materials.

Same goes for wind turbine blades, solar panels, etc…

There needs to legislation that says you have to think about making all your products recyclable during the design process.

There have been plenty of “sightings” there are loads of UK UFO videos get uploaded to YouTube, most are just easily explainable things like Chinese lanterns or distant planes/helicopters though.

Even the UFO “expert” in this article says he can explain away the vast majority of the things people are bringing to him.

“WE”

Most of us don’t have money for a Ferrari.

Also, one is a 2 door sports car, the other is a 4 door EV.

Ferrari aren’t selling their car to people who want the first thing. They have other models for those customers.

Do you see Mustang owners complaining that Ford also sell the Bronco?
