It’s clearly not simple conveyor belts. Look at the picture. There are big boxes the food goes into that have to be pushed out and then back. And then multiply that by the number of cars and you’ve got something that’s going to add too much maintenance costs onto a low margin restaurant.

Yes, there’s one box attached to the conveyor that goes back and forth, and a second , larger box at the carport that has some degree of motion, adjustable by the consumer. The situation is explained in more detail in the article link I posted.
My point stands that there weren’t a lot of complex parts involved there. There was a motor for each unit inside the restaurant which probably received the greatest wear & tear, which wasn’t all that much, considering. Compare that to motors powering assembly line conveyor belts, and even at full capacity, these were operating a few minutes per hour. So, pretty light work.
And then multiply that by the number of cars and you’ve got something that’s going to add too much maintenance costs onto a low margin restaurant.
The whole point of the restaurant was to lower costs all around, not unlike robots & AI replacing labor, and evidently they were successful. The place did great business upon opening and went on for several years. From the article, it seems to be implied that consumers simply got tired of the gimmick after a few years, perhaps preferring the human touch. It did not mention maintenance issues nor associated costs.
The world according the Fediverse : Nazis, bad, Muslim Terrorist Jew Rapers, Killers, and Burners, good. Those poor poor "palestinian" cinnamon rolls, oh come here lemme help you up, what did those bad Jews do to you now. The cognitive dissonance and purposeful selective outrage, kills Jews. Always has, always will.
Your nonsense almost makes me want to leave Kbin because even when you get banned on other communities instances I still have to read your nonsensical prattle about how you want to genocide Palestinians.
She was a Ukrainian sniper conscripted by the Soviet Union. Get your fucking facts straight, OP. Fuck Russia.
The Soviet Union included the Ukrainian SSR. If I had mistakenly meant she was from the Russian SSR, I would have said so. Furthermore, she was a volunteer.
Can't imagine what it would have been like to have to fight wars for foreign colonial powers. They come, take over your lands, treat your people like shit, rob your country of wealth, and then force you to fight their wars. And now we see former colonial powers as developed and civilized. Makes my blood boil a bit
Counterintuitive as it seems, military service was honestly probably one of the least hated parts of colonialism at the time. Many young men were eager to sign up and get their hands on a gun and military experience, as young men... often are. As colonial powers also had incentive to keep those who were armed not too keen to put a bullet through their colonists' heads, military service often was voluntary and had significant benefits compared to the civilian colonized population, who were often subject to forced labor without compensation and a near-total lack of rights. For that reason, colonial troops stationed long-term on the Western Front acquired a reputation for tenacity and endurance, despite the fact that no one in their right minds would have blamed them for doing the bare minimum.
A sick world, where fighting in the trenches for a foreign occupier was one of the least bad outcomes for an individual.
All of the color photos by Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky are fantastic and dispell the myth that photos back then were all in black and white. And the developed color film looks so realistic too.
