I am looking for ideas on what products should be produced locally. Not things that your area can do sn awesome job at and export. Rather things that should be locally produced near everyone.

Feel free to define "locally" as you wish. I am thinking with 5 miles, but with 200 is also good.

Please include your reasoning. Everything from shipping costs, to ownership "punch-ability" are great.

I will kick things off in the comments.

In the 1970's and 1980's there were several books the either had characters that did it or promoted it.

Why is there no cooking tray in my new car's engine bay?

Is it dangerous? (It would be less physically dangerous if there was a specific spot for it.)

I am a jr. Dev, but not imaginative. I find most programming languages to be poorly advertised and explained. Usually they assume too much knowledge.

What would I use Web Assembly, like Goblin (https://spritely.institute/), for? Are there examples of Web Assembly programs?

It is for web pages, or online games? Can they be run offline?

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.
