This seems to be true in the Boise Idaho area too. Our house was one of the few that had a gas stove.

RIP to the cyclist. Riding on the Road nowadays is pretty scary. Too many people not paying attention and it seems like far more bad driving since the pandemic.

I loved NT4 and used it for a while. However the lack of USB support forced me to Win2k.

I believe that most of the rust belt jobs were sent to countries with lower wages/more lax environmental laws.

Didn’t they ban cars in the city center recently?

The Roman general Ventidius defeated the Parthians and could have possibly invaded Parthian territory, but chose not to. Probably done to not outshine his boss Marc Antony. Caesar was still a good military leader at the time, but was 60 yea

Here in SoCal we are starting to see declining enrollment in K-12 and the University systems.

At this point it feels like California is a failed state.

Weirdly enough, it seems like the last few years here in SoCal I’ve seen more butterflies than normal. I’ve seen more bees than normal, but I’ve planted some native plants that they seem to love.

I think the hip new guitar effects/sim is the Quad Cortex from Neural DSP. I've seen Kiko from Megadeth uses it for his live shows.

I have one of these. So far so good. It works with Linux as a printer just fine. I'll have to see if I can scan over the network with it. (the ET-2850) They are more than other printers up front, but I suppose that's to offset the

Wasn't that a part of the problem with the real estate meltdown back in 2008? We had people getting into loans with either zero down or far less than 20% paying only the interest and not the principal for the first 5 years. They were t

Jeesh. It's not that hard to setup a Zoom meeting to avoid this sort of thing. I recently had to setup 13 separate Zoom rooms all with 10 breakout rooms with these restrictions to avoid this soft of thing.

This was pre DNF/YUM days. RedHat could be a pain installing stuff from RPM’s that had crazy dependencies back in the day.

True, I'm from California where Community College is currently free for all high school graduates. When I went, it was cheap enough to be basically free.

It's a commonly held belief in the US that anyone proposing to reduce benefits or increase retirement ages in the Social Security program is political suicide.

> True -- but by the same token, it was possible to "work your way through college". This is largely impossible now. It can be done, if you are willing to do Community College and then head to a state university to finish up.

I would be more worried about the Caucasus's. Chechnya is run by a dictator with Putin's backing. I have a feeling that Ramzan Kadyrov will have the be very careful moving forward. I can't imagine he's well liked in Chec

It would have probably caused a civil war itself. Commodus was the accepted heir, I doubt Marcus Aurelius could have chosen anyone else as long as Commodus was alive. All of the previous "good" emperors had no male heirs to pass t
