People need to be aware of how strong monkeys and apes are, because it's nothing like normal ratios you'd attribute to humans of their size. Orangutans apparently can break walnuts in one hand without a lot of effort. And apparently tiny monkeys can throw around 40lb human toddlers with relative ease.
I think that's one of those trained monkeys that they tie a rope too and yank back when they go too far, except the dude with the rope yanked when it grabbed the kid there.

That house is a great example of what happens when $(money) > $(sense). It's a cool idea but they've pulled it off, um, poorly.
Hope you don't have mobility problems when you get old!
I am 99% sure that house gets rented out to tourists during the ski season.

I'm no science man, but wouldn't huge stone walls not be a pretty good insulator?

Right up until the point that the cold seeps all the way through and then they are a big old heat sink. Assuming that they haven't added some kind of heating or insulation to the boulders that are exposed to the outside.

With boulders that big I doubt the cold ever seeps all the way in. They're either going to be exposed to the sun all day and soak up all that sweet solar radiation, or be blanketed in snow, which is it's own pretty good insulator.
I personally would love to stay in that house, it seems super cool and I really dig that very 70's aesthetic it's got going on.

That's the thing, it doesn't need to be a cold sink or heat sink, it just needs to keep the outside from getting in and inside from getting out airflow wise. It'll always be better than a sheet of plywood with some fiberglass.

I assume if you can afford to build a house like that, you can afford another one to stay in when it's more comfortable.
But the reason to go to Tahoe is the winter. Mountains, skiing, etc., etc. It's a winter town.
And yet my friend's tahoe cabin would get closed and boarded up every winter. Was not liveable in the winter at all. Summer is amazing there. Best lake in California.

edit- and sound on this next one. Headphone users, this could be a bit loud.
With a vengeance, apparently.

Like yeah it's something you'd have to sell when you get old, but it's whole aesthetic is just right up my alley.
As long as it gets fibre internet.
Not really. If you look in the server closet it's just a pterodactyl running a morse code station.
"Eh. It's a living."

It was just old and made of literal tree logs. Looked like abe lincoln made it.
