You can electrify the body and wheels of a car via the charging port, the one part that consumers should be safe to assume is fully insulated against reversed wiring, surges, etc.

Waypoint Kangaroo was really fun, You can't really go wrong with any of the Andy Wier stuff which I didn't see you mention, maybe its a given that if you've read all that you've read all the Wier stuff.

Finland had to close their borders recently due to a migrant influx, which they have since opened. Wonder where they'll live, and who will pay for it, what services will the funding be redirected from, and what magical insta-build housing they'll live in (it takes 18 months to build a 20+ unit complex after a quick Google).

My response was to Quebec city, expanded to "how could a nation even manage this from start to finish, nevermind a city". I like this sarcastic attack on my person, though. This is precisely why I didn't engage. If one says anything but "homelessness bad, housing good", the internet megaminds come out and try to apply their critical thinking skills. I like your use of "we" here as well.

Housing is a right, not an investment vehicle. The entire industry from building, selling, buying and renting needs a reset. Short term rentals need their own zoning type at a minimum, residential zoning should remain residential. There are some really papers out of McGill and university of Uppsala on financialization of housing and it's effect on affordability. There is so much shit to do on this topic and everyone is stuck at bleeting "build more homes" on the internet.
