I used a couple real keys like this at some old not-modernized hotels last summer. It was pretty sweet.
The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.
@Empty_America @jonatanpallesen I’m a young engineer working in aerospace. It’s true. 20-30 cohorts are so much smarter than the old heads. They just don’t have the same exposure to tech Some of these kids have been coding since 14, using ai for a half decade already, advanced math all their life, etc
@Empty_America People conflate two types of chaos. If chaos means less trade, we flee to the dollar. If chaos means DC got nuked, then sure, maybe gold will be useful. Similar: If gas hits $50 a gallon, people would flee *to* the cities, it would take a lot more to make them flee *from* them.
The modern, liberal & secular mindset can’t imagine the past before last 100-300 years, so instead of expanding their imagination, they rather reduce whole history to the imaginings, events & ideas of the last 100-300 years, because that’s convenient for their psyche & agenda.

If you trap a boomer in a one-on-one argument for an entire afternoon you can eventually get them to acknowledge how crazy the cost of housing is now. However the effects only last for ~12 hours and the next morning they will text you "why don't you just find a cheap apartment?"
If you could go back in time, would you recommend your ~20 year old self to have kids with whoever you were dating around that time?
Waterworld (1995) is over-hated. Strip away the budget jokes and what’s left is a huge, strange, ambitious adventure packed with real stunts and a fully built world. It’s messy, but there’s way more movie there than people remember.
