I can't get where I want and find what I want. This frustration leads me to avoid these traps.

>It is named after Austrian architect Victor Gruen, who disapproved of such manipulative techniques.
Imagine having something you hated named after you.

I miss the shopping malls of the 70's & early 80's.. all the indoor plants and water features. Also, I love looking at pics of dead malls.

I think IKEA (1943) and the Swedes got there first.

A mall near me is shaped like a honeycomb, it's maddening.

Doesn't work with me. I get so exasperated with the inability to do anything quickly that I just give up and never go there. Of course, the fact that the largest nearby mall is 90% women's clothing stores now also helps in avoiding it.

If orphans’ tears were part of the food chain for literally all of eternity, you wouldn’t be able to make that argument with a straight face.

That’s not lab grown meat, that’s effectively wheat bread masquerading as meat. We gotta be careful to not conflate the two if we want real lab grown meat to ever have a chance.

As I understand it, “Wagyu” specifically implies that it was not raised in Kobe nor via the Kobe style. Wagyu is just the base breed of cow, and they can be raised however the individual farm wishes.

The mall of America does a great job of this. Doesn’t help that you will run into multiple locations of the same store.

I noticed this when I went to a shopping mall that had two floors, had three escalators that went up and one that went down.

Grain can be important from multiple countries , it's not as important . Russia alone has a lot of unused farm land to produce enough grain for china
