Idk, heat pumps have become a lot more popular in recent years.

I could see it being used in situations where not all of the larger government’s territory was filled by smaller governments.

If both structured magic and the internet existed, I can guarantee you that would exist.

I feel like heat would start to become a serious issue at that point.

You do realize that there is probably a fair chunk of people on here who can say that unironically?

If you need to have a conversation with someone, don’t block the entire hallway to do it.

The client apps are a lot better these days too.

But she’s actually over a thousand years old, so it’s okay /s

That wouldn’t just make it look bigger, it would be bigger.

It’s what happens when you have a living house, and you buy it its own cell phone.

Can you really call them parents if they outsource all the parenting to an iPad?

And things

Odd of you to be using base 7.

A Bluetooth headset then.

Wait, seriously? A 1000lb towing capacity is just insane. If you threw a hitch on a Honda Civic, it would do better than that.

Post-scarcity does not refer to the physical resources required to maintain civilization. It refers to the ability to maintain said resources and civilization without a lot of human labor. We could have ten houses per person, but housing still wouldn’t fall under the post-scarcity umbrella until we could maintain and build new houses with minimal human labor.

I was referring to the fact that building and maintaining housing is still a largely manual process, and requires a fairly large amount of human labor. Maintaining power, water, sewage, and other things required for modern housing requires an even larger amount of human work.

Whether there are enough houses to actually fit all the people is unrelated to this.

Post-scarcity refers to most goods being able to be produced in abundance with minimal human labor. Even assuming that current food production fully falls under that umbrella, housing definitely does not, and it requires a lot more than just food and housing.

The day we can mass produce gold is the day we have a post-scarcity society. Full elemental transmutation, which would be required to mass produce gold, would also eliminate virtually all resource shortages.

IIRC, light speed delay (or technically, electricity speed delay) it’s also a factor, but I can’t remember how much of a factor.
