At least one cat 6 ethernet in each room. Multiple outlets in any media room. One of my old houses had speaker jacks in each corner of the room which was a godsend when setting up surround sound for a home cinema setup.

Yeh, again I’m not sure how efficient using water is but my instinct says it will be a lot better than any mechanical system as they are generally very inefficient!

I’m going to preface this by saying, all I know is that know about the subject was one physics class in college… The teacher mentioned Hydro Pump Storage that pumps water into a reservoir when there is an excess of energy generation then releases it through turbines when there is a surge is energy needs on the grid. Wouldn’t this idea work in a very similar way? If so it would seem feasible as about 15% of the UKs STOR requirements are met in this way.

Who wants to do the exact maths to work out the sea level rise of all of this melting? My back of an envelope calculation gives me 4cm, but happy to be proved wrong! I did 1600km3 over 75% of 510,000,000km2

Nice try robots! I’m not helping you learn how to fool us humans.

I’m not sure if your last sentence was an aside or in reference to this case. But I just thought I would mention in case it was the latter; Qatar is a necessary transfer airport to Australia from Europe and the UK if you are travelling with Qatar Airlines (which is often one of the cheaper fares available on the very expensive journey) or I believe if you book via Quantas, Qatar Airlines is one of their partner companies that you could end up on.
