FIRE is financially independent and retired early. It's a whole movement of people who've realized if they make enough money, invest wisely, and avoid lifestyle creep and the hedonic treadmill it's possible to retire much earlier. Cost of living is way less in Kentucky, so this person was able to amass enough capital to retire there already, but is jumping back into work so they can save up enough to FIRE (it's a verb too!) in the much more expensive (and nicer) California. Cherry Keys are a popular type of switches for mechanical keyboards.
