So instead of having people spend 60% of their income on housing we will have some slightly annoyed people who aren't in the neighborhood they want to be in, spending <20% of their income on housing. Sounds like an improvement to me.

When you decommodify a thing the state takes a role to ensure the good or service is provided to all. You can have a mixed system with private and public construction. But as long as there is a robust public housing sector, prices for all houses will be much lower than in the current system where we have scarcity.

You aren't. There's more backstory.

Someone could build an army of clones of you, launch galactic war, and then you'd be hated all over the galaxy. Assuming you have good genes. Probably they made a bad movie about this.

Apple is also super good with software updates on old hardware.

Except for that time they deliberately slowed down older phones with software updates so people would buy new phones.

Municipal drinking water is tested multiple times per day in Toronto, as it should be. Testing once and assuming the complex machinery and chemical levels are the same a week later is pure folly.

Note that this is different from testing well water, which shouldn't change much. Testing well water once a year is a good idea though.
