It'll be interesting to see what the productivity figures are everywhere once this thing winds down. But based on my own anecdotal data (sample size N=1), not a whole lot of work's getting done at home, and telecommuting for conference calls is often a crapshoot.
Yeah, you're right! Why spend all that energy heating and air-conditioning and lighting an office building for 100 people, when you can spend like 100 times that energy heating/air-conditioning/lighting 100 home offices instead?
If the office buildings don't exist, that space can be used by high-density residential instead, thus driving down the cost of living space. If there's no physical workplace to commute to, then people don't need to commute. They could simply use VR teleconferencing, instead. There's no reason why new residential high-rises can't be just as efficient as existing offices, if not more so, since the first thing we'd want to do is start constructing more buildings according to passive solar heating standards. It would also encourage the adoption of paperless technology, ending paper forms and faxes as a concept and going fully digital, which would prevent a great deal of paper waste.
Do you even realize how much paper offices use, globally?
Yeah. It's ridiculous. Digital forms can be signed and encrypted with digital fingerprints and it's way more secure than a paper copy with a signature on it. There is literally no point to printing anything.
The other day, my boss asked me to fuck around with this old, shitty Hewlett-Packard, removing the printhead and cleaning it and seeing if I could get it aligned, and the damn thing wouldn't work no matter what because it was one of those old wide-format piece of shit inkjets and the printhead was old and fucked up. I was just thinking, you know, why do we even have this? Why not just get each of us a tablet so we can do all our forms digitally over Wi-Fi? Inkjet printer cartridges are very fucking expensive.

But what if I just like the feel of a nice hardcover?
And when the tablet fucks up and your boss asks his train engineer to look at it again (for some reason), I'm sure you won't have any idea how to fix the problem then, either.
...until you need to upgrade them. Or buy a replacement because Kevin accidentally spilled his morning coffee all over his tablet. Or call in (and perhaps pay to keep around) IT support because Martha can't figure out why Adobe Acrobat crashes every time she goes to annotate her signature on a document, and they don't have an autistic train engineer on standby to fix tech issues.

I've actually been to Bremerton. Christ what a weird place. It's like somebody took your standard big city suburb and populated it entirely with white trash. But white trash with means thanks to the massive navy base. So they had all the attitude of a trailer park with absolutely none of the self awareness and not a single solitary cow to tip.

If you're more concerned about security than ease of access, paper still wins. A paper deed or mortgage contract or psychiatric file is well worth the money it takes to produce.
Yeah, Silverdale is much nicer than Bremerton. Just a bunch of retirees and gay couples.

You have an uncanny talent for making references you're not even aware of.
Look, I put up with your pretend understanding of microbiology and epidemiology because it was amusing. If you want to start doomer posting about modern farming practices you are gonna have to do better than linking a popular science article and a video about some highly unsustainable hydroponics. Where are you gonna get all the phosphate for you dream farms from?
You know what causes 90%+ of that desertification? Fucked up cultural practices. Afghanistan in historical times was covered in trees. You know where they all went? Islam says fuel to heat your home is public property. They will cut down trees, pick dry horse shit out of paddocks, and even pull wheat stubble out of ground. With dirt still on the roots. This is how you get desertification.
There is plenty of shit to bitch about, but I'm not gonna give you any hints.

Seriously, I mean it. For a small business, if you have just a few dozen employees, it literally makes more sense to just ditch printers and shredders and paper records entirely and go completely digital.
It's cheaper. Way, way cheaper. And potentially more secure, for that matter. And easier to back up.
Think about what I've been doing, for example. Google Docs and Office 365 let you share documents and collaborate on the same document with other people, worldwide, instantly. As in, the moment your changes are published, everyone else can see them.
This isn't anything new, of course. Cloud-based document collaboration has been around for about a decade at this point. Frankly, I think it's a missed opportunity, because cloud collaboration stuff is out there, and everyone thinks the market is gonna explode any minute now, but rates of adoption have been mediocre overall.
It's going to take a sea change in thinking, in terms of what an office should consist of, before we see anyone taking the fullest advantage of the past two decades' worth of technological advancement.
Those two points of view are not contradictory. After all, less paper wasted on pointless forms means more paper for actual books, something of real value.
If you're gonna kill a tree, you'd better have a damn good reason, in other words.
To be fair, there are some technical hurdles involved, and mobile apps can be great big piles of shit. These devices are getting a lot more rugged these days, with IP68 intrusion protection ratings. Really, it doesn't matter what you spill on some of these things. They just don't care. Dunk any iPhone or Galaxy in the sink. It doesn't do anything.
In other words, a typical Navy town, yes.
The downtown core used to be full of boarded-up buildings, but it's been revitalized and gentrified in recent years, with an upsurge of yuppies looking for cheap housing.
I don't like it. I wanna move somewhere further out in the woods that's even more white-trash, where I can make all the noise I want and be a slob and run the air compressor and the grinder all night.
The Olympic Peninsula is even prettier, to be honest.

Giving him hints doesn't really make him learn anything, just makes his LARP even more retarded.
Again, his main schtik is being a retard so you get to do all the work for his doomer hypotheticals.
Him changing topics is more because everyone already knows how overhyped coronachan is now.
EDIT: oh hey and he still uses tabloid journals for proof of his faggotry. Nice.

By locomotive. Seriously, if you're not building indoor farms around a rail depot, you're doing it wrong.
Our current methods are not recycling nearly enough phosphorus, for that matter.
I have ideas about pretty much any topic you can name. How about firearms?
Look at that Textron prototype. It has a moving chamber that acts as a lifter for the Cased Telescoped cartridge. That is even more concentrated autism than I could ever manage myself. Jesus. Imagine field-stripping and cleaning that thing.
I have a better idea. Why not have a conventional bullpup 5.56mm rifle with a nice 19 to 21" barrel, a servo-operated sear and adjustable electronic trigger to get rid of that bullpup grittiness, and a TrackingPoint-style ballistic computer with grid-finder capabilities?
Because, at this point, with the technology that we currently have, there is absolutely no reason why each and every infantryman can't also be a forward observer.
Almost all the tech needed for a surprisingly accurate grid-finder can be found in the average smartphone. GPS, accelerometer, and gyro. All you need is a rangefinder to pinpoint something, and the device needs to know its own position and orientation. That tech can be squeezed into a rifle scope these days, easy enough. With one of those TrackingPoint scopes, literally all you need to make it a grid-finder is to add a few more chips and some software changes to the damn thing. The rangefinder is already there:
Aim at some guy, touch one button, and every F-35 and 155mm gun in the area knows where he is. Nice and simple. No need to mark the target with smoke. No need to fiddle around with a DAGR and waste time figuring out the bearing and distance to the target. Just one little button press, and that fucker is marked for death.
But no, instead, the military wants to buy a ridiculous piece of clockwork like this:
The shit I keep seeing the Army looking to buy, it just looks plain retarded.
After a few of my lectures, all of their secrets would belong to Uncle Sam.
