People are still moving to the central valley and commuting to jobs on the coast

Why are there only jobs on the coast?

I think this is the real root of the problem. Everybody wants to cram into (for example) Silicon Valley - because it's where the best paying, most stable jobs are. Why can't these employers employ workers elsewhere. I've actually worked for a company that tried that tactic. Guess what? During hard times, (or mergers), they tend to shut remote sites down, and the workers are laid off or uprooted.

But yeah - a lot of problems would be resolved if employment were more distributed.

Andy taught him about gaming by making him play and master all of the old video games and gaming systems in the exact order they were actually released.

So he's forcing his kid to play these games?

Would you question his actions as much if instead of "forcing his kid to play these games", he "forced his kid to read these [age appropriate] books" in the order they were published?

I read it as the order which the games and systems were presented were enforced to follow a specific order of introduction, not that the child was forced to do something against his will.

Not to mention the image implies it's a SSD. The defragmentation of the drive probably did far more "harm" to the drive from the point of unnecessary writes then what the log files contributed.
