I don’t mean micro was the standard way to charge, I mean that charging things was common. People wanted to charge things in 2007. And micro could be used to charge. Charging was a feature of micro.

We’re really not talking the same language, I don’t know where the confusion is, so I think I’m gonna bow out.

Yes I do but I’m going back in to work tomorrow morning so I’m not going for it until tomorrow and then I can get the joke

*Brought to you by predictive text, starting with yes.

I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing and I don’t know where the confusion is.

Like when MicroUSB came out, I think charging was pretty standard. The cable can be a normal USB A to USB-something-that-is-reversible-like-USB-C-style, instead of the the USB micro.

Hmm so the current C can be host or device, but really I’m not focused on that aspect. I’m focused on the reversible flip it over kind of thing - like USB A you flip over because you never get it right. You could have made a USB C style that always assumed is device.

Shipping container houses are terrible ideas. You want insulation, windows, plumbing, etc. They don’t work well in those small steel containers.

Site construction is not efficient at all. Like at all. It’s horribly inefficient. It’s pretty much the worst industry I can think of. There’s a reason why factories exist. I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on that, so we don’t need to keep saying the same thing back and forth.

Yes shipping is an issue. That’s why regionality is important. If hurricanes keep hitting the same area, that will create regional demand.

*Also, it’s not shipping a complete[d] house (which yes can be done too), it’s a modular house. That’s the whole point of the post.

Really? I’m asking why they didn’t design and use a reversible C style in 2007 instead of the micro USB. Afaik a reversible style is not dependent on tech development from 2007-2014,

So any idea why they went with the horrible micro USB instead of a reversible C style?

Just like different car models you can have different house models if the market is big enough.

Someone uploaded German POW stories onto YouTube that I was listening to. Some prisoners (in France I believe) forged “gold” rings from copper and then sold them to the guards in the middle of the night for food. Guards couldn’t tell at night.

But why micro USB? That was later wasn’t it?

Um can someone translate what this means?

I think a large part of it is consistent demand, and that must be regional because of the size and shipping of the final product. Hurricanes solve both to some extent.

Factory has the capacity to be far more efficient. Assembly line style.

Lots of processes need to be sorted out. Need steady demand. It’s an interesting business.

I’m talking about reconstruction afterwards.

Buh? Site has a ton of on site construction: woodwork, running wires, pipes, fucking everything. Prebuilt in a factory can get way more efficiency.

People want the option to use their balcony. Then they realize it’s usually not so pleasant being exposed like that to the sun, wind, temp.

Are you trying to get invited to my next barbeque?

Not enough LEDs.
