Cybertruck putting out 120V through its body and wheels while charging
  • 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’s successful approach to ending homelessness catches eye of Quebec City
  • 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.

    Finland’s successful approach to ending homelessness catches eye of Quebec City
  • 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.

  • Downvote the shit out of me, but explain how this works in the above case where one (let's even expand it a bit and say) nation chooses to do this, and everyone homeless around the world with the means to make the journey, decides to head down there and enter the country by whatever means? We're not talking about a taxpayer base, just a whole ton of people that want homes, and of course some small subset of those people that want free homes. People seems to scoff at the "it's a complex problem" thing because they don't think of the solution to homelessness within the confines of reality.

    Third of UK teenagers believe climate change exaggerated, report shows
  • YouTube, censor disnformation. The climate isn't politics. If you're a platform that amplifies climate disinformation, you should stop that for the good of every other plant and animal. Where your fascist statement came from I have no idea. Young humans are highly impressionable and gullible, setting guardrails on the amount of bullshit they're permitted to access while their brain is forming isn't fascism.

    Europe has been named as the best continent for digital nomads
  • Uh, yeah I'm gonna say this list can absolutely go into the garbage. Calling Denmark first is pure comedy due to the insane cost of co-working spaces, Denmark being the second worst country to integrate into after Sweden, insane rental deposits and the unreal taxes. (Researcher tax scheme excluded 😉)

    (TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months
  • I've been playing the newish Wolfenstein games on mine and they run so incredibly well. I haven't played a campaign game before this since Death Stranding.
