I have spent many years working for a large employer there. Flying up from the Bay Area was, hour drive to airport, hour to plane, hour and a half flight, 20min to car rental, 60 to 180min bitching about getting from SeaTac to Redmond&#x2F

Seattle (neh, Tacoma to Bellingham) has built up suburbs around highways unable to keep up with demand. That is the primary reason for traffic. Infrastructure around Seattle is not going to make up for sprawl. That sprawl goes all the wa

The hybrid 2022 Tundra is expected to get 20-25/gal which is great for a truck that size. And it was on the radar before my Subaru was totaled - I’ll stick to my Tacoma (paid off). I see no real solution to the CA no fossil fuel engine

The Tesla truck, the only model that made sense of you do any back country/rural driving was the three engine 550mi (if I remember right) version. Even then, I would think a generator would need to be carried (and fuel). Rural areas d

A lot of times, one's proximity to work, friends, family has a non-trivial cost associated with it. Not everyone can be mobile. That said, the other side of the coin with regard to homelessness - some fall in the above; some follow t

Recently had a car totaled. Blue book was about 19k private party sale in excellent condition. Insurance gave me $27k. So yes it’s nuts.

I recall chatting with Brian when we started Zetta. It wasn’t a match in terms of tech/direction, but I’ve been a loyal customer as well for years.

It's just easier to avoid discussions. It's stupid that people who can be completely rational about most things become someone different around certain topics. Spending most of my time in a county in CA that 55-60% are pro consp

There is a stress that comes from isolation and change in what was "normal" for life. That directly leads to things like social isolation, economic impacts for some, etc. There is a cause and effect that comes from being in a pa

There is more than just "homeless shelters" when it comes to working with the homeless. Also, it is usually the job of counties (due to having the office of County Health) to spearhead handling the issues around homelessness. Ho

If you are taking public money and come back the following year wanting more, there should be a plan and data showing why you deserve money. Specifically the effectiveness of what you are trying to do. Most of them want money without any

I spent many years involved in politics at the city level in Santa Cruz. The Homeless Industrial Complex is a thing. There isn’t a desire to make things better as that will lead to lost jobs. Their insincerity becomes very obvious when yo

Peace lilies and Zebra plants both do this. At our shop, I refer to them as "drama queens" as they do let you know when they need water. Another interesting one is fittonia (or nerve plant). It recovers readily as well.

But on Windows/Mac there really is not a way to run Docker w/o Docker Desktop installed. And that could be a thing confusing people. Linux, yeah, I don't think there is a Desktop version for that. It's all CLI

The article sort of mentions it, but then doesn't fully conclude, the majority of the fires in north eastern CA are on federal land. CA policy, outside of law suits, doesn't impact Federal Landuse policy. Nearly all of the publi
