I live in Florida. We have a decent alligator population here. I haven't seen one in the wild in over 20 years.
Having moved from FL just a few years back I have a hard time believing this unless you were living entirely in your parent's basement. This is slashdot so that is certainly a possibility, but hardly anyone has a basement in FL so I'm just confused.
I do not relish the idea of having to build in a system for 50+ different sets of taxes.
Like it's only 50! Sales taxes can change along county and township boundaries. What is actually taxed changes too.
I've got some family and there's some coworkers that are big into the home schooling. All the kids are very polite, great at spelling bees, but they think Genesis is a science textbook and they have some serious disconnects from reality. It's really pretty sad.
I remember in the early nineties when the Circuit City car audio installation department employed all those otherwise out of work recent EE grads. Good times.
Where do EE majors work now? The wife is looking for work.
A modern human needs 2k calories a day when they work a desk job. When I worked construction I was eating around 5k calories a day and weighed 140 lbs at 5'10". I suspect the life of a modern human in the time of the Neanderthal was probably more on the construction end of the calories required spectrum than the sits around with a laptop end I enjoy today. Still not the 7k you mention above, but not as much of a difference.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
