  • Air conditioning
  • Chocolate
  • Coffee

All 3 are things that are reasonably likely to have troublesome accessibility in my lifetime.

I think AC will be the most reliable if home solar takes off. The other two though...

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's still prohibitively expensive to buy AC units in the first place though. Vast majority of homes do not have AC pre-installed.

AC units are really not expensive as long as you install them yourself

I can hear to say coffee, but AC is at the top. I live in a tropical country.

Chocolate is nice, and I love it but I could drop it.

We moved to a new apartment - and a big rent increase from 5 years of inflation-pinned rent to now c$4/sqft/mo - just for A/C . Would do it again.
