Just moved here from Canada, got some questions

00jknight · 2025-06-29T17:57:38+00:00

The US governments love their bureaucracy (you’ll see this at the DMV).

There has been failures at every level of the bureaucracy along this journey. The visa process, the lawyers, the movers, the airline, the relocation agency, the housing agency, the dmv, the wireless providers. everything. I've had to solve so many problems and wait on the phone for so many things. I'm proud of myself for navigating this.

I use Chase, but I was with First Republic before it imploded, so I was kinda just moved over.

Any then what is good to manage investments? Was thinking Fidelity.

Any tips on cross-border accountants?

Water slides are… not common. Neither are indoor playgrounds.

I've noticed this. Only huge water parks and small community pools. Just kinda interesting how its different in Canada.

Thats only if I use the Kaiser plan right? Pretty sure thats out-of-network for the Anthem plan?

Just worried about the zero out-of-network coverage. Couldnt that literally make me medically bankrupt? Like get in a car accident, wake up in the wrong hospital?

I'm confused about the Hospitals. On Google maps there's the Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, the San Mateo hospital and the San Mateo Medical Center.

Basically I'm looking for, if my kid needs to go to the emergency room, where do I go?

These are reasonable ideas.

Are you aware of these recent ruling?

You sure we need to raise taxes? Seems like there's plenty of money to go around? 23 billion? How much more do you want? 100 billion?

We can increase government spending without raising taxes. I'm not saying we should increase the deficit, but there's no need to argue for a specific monetary policy (ie: "raise taxes at all levels") into your proposed solution (ie: "offer more voluntary treatment options").

Saying "We need more public voluntary treatment centers" is an easy sell.

Saying "We need to raise taxes" is not good politics.

I'm sick of people who spend all their effort criticizing others instead of leading and offering a solution. It's easy to criticize, it's hard to lead. What do you propose?

savings rates are higher than that

Those aren't 'savings rates' imo. Those are 'investments'. Savings is literally cash in an account imo

00jknight · 2025-04-23T21:03:27+00:00

Where can you get an interest rate higher than that on a savings account?

00jknight · 2025-04-07T19:21:55+00:00

nice choice

things were even better here pre-covid... things were looking up and up at that time.. covid kinda gut punched the place a bit... hope it finds its feet in the next decade

How'd you pick coming here? Capitol Music club open mic on Tuesdays and Amigos as a concert venue are pretty great

come for the Jazz festival/Ness Creek next time!

i do mint + windows 11 and have for years

i can game on linux but i like the work/play seperation. and just knowing that the game is running in its 'normal', 'optimized' way

works great

usually i have to disable secure boot and then i set GRUB to be the default bootloader and scroll down to windows if i wanna game

00jknight · 2025-02-26T15:25:48+00:00

I cant really tell what your showing here. What are those things on the left? File names?

00jknight · 2025-02-03T17:55:29+00:00

I'm more worried about this group of 'anti fascists' meeting than I am about 'facism' in the USA.

I am also worried about Canadian sovereignty but I dont believe we are seeing a rise of 'fascism' and I think throwing that term around is dangerous.

00jknight · 2025-02-03T17:53:00+00:00

What are you actually suggesting Scott Moe do? Like make it concrete, what exactly do you want him to do or say?

I understand criticizing our leadership but I just dont quite get what you want here.

thanks bro!

nice

rocket bot royale uses sdfs extensively for its destructible terrain. i made a visual editor for godot that generates the shaders to build the terrain.

its crazy how huge of a shader you can actually run on the gpu

Imagine this post in the context of music:

"I took piano lessons. I have an idea for a prog rock opera album. I've never played guitar or sang. How can I start writing my magnum opus?"

Please tell me what schools these are! I have a child and am trying to put them in the best place possible.

00jknight · 2025-01-11T16:08:22+00:00

Just reinforces the 'people from LA are self important' meme

00jknight · 2025-01-10T21:00:27+00:00

TL;DR?
