Hol up, lemme update the to-do list...

There is the Meshmap. I'm not sure it's complete, but it could give you a rough idea. It's usually a good idea to search meshtastic along with your city name, and hopefully there's a community site for any active projects.
That's super cool! Though yeah, definitely targeting different demographics.
The more primitive electronics are still pretty easy to work on and fix though. OBD helps with diagnosing, and the sensors are usually simple enough to swap out for a new one if they fail, in most cases. If an ECU fails, that's usually as simple as swapping a cartridge, like on an old console.
Fair enough, but in my experience Techmoan has always been trustworthy in his reviews, he's not sponsored by the manufacturer.
Apparently the version without the head sprinkler is the one that was most widely adopted.
the outer pot must be unglazed to allow it to become saturated with water. There's quite a few guides on how to make these, like this one, which detail their capabilities and the materials needed.
He lays out the financial reasons why you'd save money without a car, but it does assume you can afford to rent or get a loan for a house/apartment in a city in the first place. Are you suggesting that is an unreasonable demographic to target with this advice? Because that sort've implies that any cost-saving measure advice should only be for those in the most dire financial straights, if I'm understanding you correctly.
Homelessness is a horrible and cruel epidemic, but if anything, the advice in the video could be seen as helpful to avoid becoming homeless, or at least to ease the overall financial burden on people who are already on the edge, not for the wealthy, but that's just my take.
It mentions the neck-coolers being ineffectual, but at least according to a Techmoan review I saw, the model he had was surprisingly effective.
Not that I disagree with the point of the article, which is that we shouldn't need this shit to begin with and only the wealthy first world nations will be able to afford them, but the tech itself does seem to work.
The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson is an absolutely brilliant horror book, one of my favorites!
The Coming Race is an eerie early sci-fi book, considered one of the first, in fact.
Steady on mate, steady on. It also shows how freaked out oil companies are at being held accountable, and how seemingly close this is to setting that precedent, and maybe starting an avalanche of lawsuits that will help weaken their grip as renewables potentially s-curve hard, no matter how they try to stop it.
Humor is how many of us cope with the darkness the world seems to be in right now, it's a good way to keep up moral as we truck along and try our best to bring this shit to an end, one wrench thrown in one gear at a time.
