I own a house 40 minutes outside of SF in the East bay. I lived there for years and loved the area. My parents aged out and retired in Yuma. I am the care giver for both. I rent my house out and live with Ye olde folks. The politics are weird in Cali but the atmosphere is awesome and there is so much to do. Cost is insane but if you can work in that market you can live outside the SF proper. I like where I am at now, but it is 3-5 hours for any sort of culture. Phoenix is 3 hours, San Diego is 3 hours, Vegas is 4.5 hours. I am going to see Alan Parson in Sept in Phoenix, and I 'll have to stay at a hotel rather than try and drive home that night.

WTF.. garbage statement. AI will NOT change math at ALL. It will hopefully extend math comprehension by a large margin, but I seriously doubt it "changes" any of the underlying supports. Maybe AI will suddenly discover new numbers ??

Well Whoop-D-Dooo. NYC has 8.5 million people vs. SF at 850 K and they just FINALLY got more tech workers. NY would be one of the FEW places more expensive than SF. I can see the draw to NYC, but this seems like a hollow celebration.
  In the news NYC has more muggers than SF, and probably, maybe more homeless ?

Or...I've very personally seen and live with the resulting human destruction low life people can and will do to them selves and everyone around them. It is amazing, how you fully analyzed me from a paragraph. You must be a genius...or something. Live a while, watch the needless suffering caused by drugs and the morons who use them. If it hasn't touched you personally, be thankful and STFU about things you can't know unless you lived them.

Crank whores deserve whatever they get. Meth during pregnancy is the almost worst thing you can do. 2 decades in jail for ruining your child's life, and inflicting your forever needy child on society seems like she got off lightly.

Oil cooled with "Canola"

I live in a no fly zone corridor near a bombing range. No RC planes, No kites above 50ft, No personal flyers of any kind. What I do get is sonic booms and bombing runs but that's entertainment.

You are basing your argument on logic. Logic doesn't matter, this is a legal matter.

OS/2 should have taken over the world. It was THAT much better than anything else. I'd love to have seen OS/2 on an Amiga...

This is everything you need to know about running an airline into the ground. The worst in customer service, the worst in maintenance, the worst in cleanliness. Garbage In Garbage Out, the saying applies all kinds of places.

I've got my modem, router, NAS and printer attached to an extender from the closet they reside in. If Comcrap, or Rectum cable turn this on they get the 5x5 room. closet.

There is cheap hardware now. There are very few realistic userspace loads that require DDR5. Waiting two more seconds won't kill you.

You can just buy a 2023-era laptop. It works fine.

Your shit of mouse better not be the fluorescent kind. Jetten is IMO on the right track, though I wish there were more room for community initiatives where a larger battery unit evens out pushing to the grid, similar to how Ecopower in Belgium is a coop that puts up wind plants.

His Orangeness has helped this cause a lot. Even the most die hard anti-Europeans and anti-environmentalists are having to change their tune, they're having to fall back exclusively on racism as a selling point.

Correct, but damn that picture is changing quickly. The biggest issue are landlocked nations with no access to fossil fuels by pipelines other than those from Russia. Hungary, Austria, Serbia, etc.

Everyone else is getting gas and fossils from (mostly) the US by now, and they're less trustworthy than the Russians, so that is a problem.
