I have never, in my life, seen an apartment or condo with that level of stc or iic rating, much less one installed correctly. The only place I’ve been in with that kind of treatment is a SCIF for TS/SCI functions and you could build a whole good damned single family house for that kind of money.

Yeah, no. I never want to hear my neighbor through a common wall or ceiling.

See, this is what happens when you prevent/restrict the use of nuclear weapons. If we would just recognize the effectiveness of hypersonic, ballistic re-rentry, multiple warhead nuclear munitions and deploy them in conflicts instead of conventional weapons we wouldn’t need to worry about AI mis-identifying non-combatants one by one. [taps forehead]

Reduce, rise, recycle in that order. That last bit should be obvious, but I’m always surprised how many prior I talk to have never considered the progression.

In that case we’re going to need a bigger Death Star.
