I'm actually kinda curious what SG-1's production company setup was for moving around the gate to all of British Columbia's quarries and forests.

That title is a little jumbled.

"The only catch is the Stargate in Ashland County doesn't exactly work − like the ones on television." lol - the ones on TV actually work ;)

Being teleported to Ohio is much less exciting than being teleported to Antarctica[1].

For anyone else who was wondering, the author said the project used approximately a dozen (cubic) yards of concrete. Prices seem to be on the order of $150/yd3, so $1800 for just the concrete.

People have the urge to build arts and monuments. See the art pieces people built in Slab City, even in the off the grid, away from society place.

having just one seems like it's not going to help much tbh. he needs a second why to teleport to. also not sure if concrete based gate will work... never tried that.

Does it act like a giant superconductor though?

That naquadah is very heavy.

Stargate. The original movie was cool but I never could get in to the TV show, even during its heyday with Richard Dean Anderson. That said, if they ever did a reboot I'd probably check it out!

Ok, you can’t just build something cool and expect people not to show up.
