Okay.

I think we've found another use for robots.

You do the align wheels thing and I'll get right on #660.

I’m pretty sure your mocking. But the funeral industry needs to be disrupted. Went through the process a couple weeks ago and it felt pretty scummy.
I don't really have a point here, but my wife and I recently looked at burial options and there's a beautiful cemetery near us but the only really affordable option is cremation and storage in a wall of tiny notches with little doors with an indoor/outdoor viewing area and garden for visitors.

I have started referring to it as, "Our Cubby" and my wife hates it.

A lot of it is legal, but there is some change happening. WA recently made it legal to compost* human remains, perhaps the first new option outside of burial and cremation?

*in a very specific way https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/22/us/washington-human-compostin...

Very good idea, as big plague is coming...
