2. Off topic, but in Belgium, I saw the De Halve Maan beer pipeline

This is what pipelines should be used for.

In 2016 De Halve Maan completed a 3,276-metre-long (2 mi) beer pipeline from its brewery to its bottling plant to avoid having to send trucks through the narrow, cobbled streets of Bruges. At its deepest point, the pipeline runs 34 metres (112 ft) below the surface. The pipeline was partially crowdsourced, and those who contributed received free beer from the brewery.
