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 ??

You Klanfuckwit Inbredshitbitch Retardican GOP Trash need to stop lying. YOU are the Crossburning Fuckwit Inbred Shit Trash Criminals.

Legal challenges, run them out of money, BAN their tactics from the USA as unconstitutional. EVERYTHING needs to happen to make Flock cease to exist.

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"

Most of the developed world has lower homicide rates than the US, and has had for a long time.

Lol. You're just determined the world is ending hey?

Right. Those are some of the hot topics in lunar science. So if someone lands a couple of rovers there with a bunch of cameras, penetrating radar, spectrometers, etc. finds water, and analyzes it, they'll be at the forefront of lunar science.

No one is going to visit a website they can't even pronounce let alone spell.

The ISP here gives you one when you sign up for fibre service.

There are lots of roads too.

My mother lives in a place that is probably more remote (as in distance to the nearest city > 100,000) than it's possible to get in the US outside of Alaska. Twenty years ago when they were paving the highway they also dug a trench and dropped fibre into it. The initial idea was to hook up schools and government buildings but a local started a company and just ran fibre to everyone's house, including the farmers'. They're cheaper and way more reliable than the only competitor (DSL) so pretty much everyone has 1 gig symmetric connections with the option for 2.5.

POTS and a modem should be enough for anyone. And none of that fancy 56k shit either, good old 14.4 kb/s.
