Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Anything is possible but would you pay for it?

Boris Johnson's bridge from Scotland to Ireland 'feasible' - National Geographic experts I thought that was fairly obvious. Of course its possible but would you stomach the costs? There are very few projects that technically are not possible. Most of it comes down to money. You got any good ones?

Large-scale renewable energy schemes (mass solar panels, tidal generation etc. ) fall into the 'could do, but too expensive' category. Might change as carbon taxes rise though.

Nuclear fusion power is the classic 'can't do at any price'. Decades of investment, yet still nothing practical.

Maybe not exactly what you had in mind but someone set up a company selling a $700 juicer that they engineered the hell out of to make
