1) Having a dog on a platform like that (basically a 5000 square foot trailer park with no "park") is pretty crappy for both the dog and the humans unfortunate enough to be stuck with it (not the owners of the dog).

2) 30 year old canned meat products are in fact still nominally edible.

3) Spending all day on the Internet from a random building in the middle of nowhere is actually not THAT different from my daily life today; less traffic, higher latency Internet.
