Living in So CO, I smh at what's going on up there. The cost of living elsewhere in the state can be 1/3 to 1/2 the price. The govt and corporate employers could easily decentralize and stay in CO.

A decade ago, while helping care for an 85 year old family member, I read several books on Alzheimers. One was "What if it's not Alzheimers?" Long story short, the "magic bullet" approach of big pharma began with v

Very nice essay! Today, Microsoft hit a four trillion dollar valuation. Nvidia is worth even more than that. Are we all being coralled, like cattle, into spaces where the only options to get anything done at all means using only a few prod

I wonder if the "5 minute city" approach would also help. Just zone the cities so that getting that burger doesn't even involve driving at all, just a brisk walk?

so, let the infected countries responsibly set up a program to vaccinate and treat affected citizens. I am 100% certain that "western" countries would be happy to provide the expertise. But free handouts? Good luck. We in the &q

Nextdoor is terrible, agreed. No, we want real news! With some editorial oversight. Local reddits were good for a while, but the bots and human moderators make their own rules. It's not consistent. A nice place to start could be with

Well it's good to see the Rest of World stepping up with air drops of food, and a pipeline for water. It's just the US and that best friend and ally that are being unspeakably, persistently cruel. Hey the vast majority American p

it helps to be able to type at 70wpm. My high school typing class in the 70s actually did wonders for my career as keyboards and screens took over. As far as processors go- that's a subject best discussed offline with a beer in hand.
