Well they would be importing grain rather than pork. Unless they currently export grain.

I under stand that. But if you built a one story facility out of the city it's initialization cost would have to be less than half the cost. Plus 2 million hogs would require a large amount of energy for refrigeration and ventilation to maintain a viable environment.
Then also you have just added 2 million residents to the city's water and sewer systems.

For the life of me I can not see How that facility is commercially viable. Pork is cheap, right now the price for fat hogs on the hoof, in the U.S. is 85 cents a pound, and that is up 40 cents from 18 months ago. Unless this facility gets some kind of market protection, I just don't see how the numbers work.

As far as preindustrial complexions are concerned it was not acme that teens had to worry about it was smallpox. If you read 17th 18th century literature and they refer to a person having a swarthy complexion that was code to referring to smallpox scaring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox

Reply to I've been informed that a pig's orgasm is estimated to be around thirty minutes. However, I'm curious to know how they came to this conclusion. What's the science behind it? by hatinsidecat
Boars, when mating release up to 100 cc of semen. But it is released in three ways. There is presperm release, then the sperm, and finally a post sperm release that will congeal into a plug to keep the sperm from running out. file:///C:/Users/phert/Downloads/1471-7899-jrf_42_3_017.pdf

You can use them only when it is required by elevation. Usually remodels, on new construction it is preferable to install a pit for ease of maintenance. The up flushes incorporate a tank above the floor. So when you go to fix the grinder pump you have a full tank of shit sitting in your bathroom. A pit you can install any place in your basement where it is convenient.

Plumbing codes change from state to state. What you want to do in a violation of code in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. In these three states you have to use gravity and a three inch pipe. You may only use a grinder pump to lift sewage from the basement. Even then the toilet will drain by 3 inch pipe into as pit that contains the grinder pump.
