This is like the simplest problem they'd need to overcome. Seals with arbitrary rotation already exist and are ubiquitous because, you know, pumps with motors on the outside. Replace the shaft with a pipe and voila a cheap poo poo pipe that will leak poo poo all over while it's spinning because lol maintenance ain't gonna keep up.

I'm not sure I follow. Could you draw a diagram of how you think a rotating apartment moving around a fixed central core would be plumbed?

I see what you're doing there Mr Fisher.

The central core thing probably makes it some what easier to hack in a solution. Like let's say you have 4 plumbing hook ups on the core. Then on the unit you just have a quick connect that's actuated to connect and disconnect at the end of a hose that has a play of 90 degrees around the core.

Rotate within 90 degrees, the hose play has you covered, probably with an actuated collar keeping it unrolled in the correct way. Go further and it pauses to disconnect and reconnects to the next quick connect ports.

imo it'd probably be simpler to just have the bathrooms be part of the core structure, and you use whichever bathroom happens to be rotated towards you

It's quite simple - when the toilet needs to be flushed, just open the window and rotate the room at maximum speed.

There is nothing wrong with copper over short distances. AT&Ts U-verse is DSL hit with a pretty big marketing hammer and they have no problem offering symmetric gig service.

AT&T U-verse is not offering symmetric gig over copper. They only do that on their fiber to the premises service. Fastest you can get over their FTTN copper to the house service is 50/10.

And then only if they felt like installing a fuckton of new DSLAMs in your town because it has half the range of the 20/5 service on the older equipment.

They're in the process of rolling out FTTP here, which of course means they're doing jack all to maintain the copper plant. Which means that the aerial junction between the DSLAM and my house has been wrapped in a trash bag for months, and occasionally causes my service to drop.

They seem to have given up my town entirely when they failed to buy enough congressmen to get our municipal fiber banned.

Probably water and waste holding tanks on each floor. When necessary the floor stops rotating and the various connections line up to fill or drain the tanks as necessary. The specialized flexible connectors and extra weight of the holding tanks on every floor would increase costs, but keeping costs reasonable obviously isn't a consideration in this project.

And then in a few months or a couple years enough things will go wrong that they'll stop the spinning entirely.
