I would settle for just the teleporter, so home is still seconds away. Then I would have a fridge, and private bathroom, and access to my dog.

Can it be like the doors in Monsters Inc? I've got wall space for a door.

(Teleporters, even linked teleporters would be such a game changer)

Fuck that, I don't want my boss coming into my house through a teleporter.

So many employers act like they own their employees as it is.

Maybe if there was a controllable delay on the teleporter...

Allow dematerialization. I'll think about the rematerialization.

Hey @entropicdrift, I'm sorry to wake you--you looked so peaceful--but do you have the cover page for this TPS report?

teleporters will have keys like vehicles and buildings, to prevent unauthorized access.

I practically would love teleporters. The philosophical issues would keep me from just diving right in though.
