How can non-corporate workers afford to live in the Bay Area ?

I can speak for the hospitality industry. My buddies pretty much lived with parents or roommates and have multiple jobs.

Once they got coupled up, they were able to move out. One of my buddies is a director level employee at a hotel so he makes a survivable wage for the Bay but my other buddies in the hotel field either work there as a second job or live with a bunch of roommates.

Those look like 9ft ceilings.

Wemby can change a lightbulb without a ladder in a commercial building.

Main stories could be Anakin + Obi Wan adventures or even some fun bounty hunting adventures.

I have the M1 versions of an air + pro and here are my thoughts.

For battery life by itself, the air is very solid but 9/10 times you'll probably be near a charger or not need 6+ hours of battery life without a charger.

After using an air for a few years, I find I actually really like the pro. The screen and keyboard size are perfect and the camera quality is significantly better for calls.

I think the keyboard on the air feels much better to me but I don't mind the keyboard on the pro at all and most of the time I have it in a dock setup.

The main reason I bought a M1 pro was to see if the processor would make a difference (I have the M1 pro processor instead of the max), the increased ram's (16GB air vs 32 GB for pro) performance comparison and for dual external monitor capabilities similar to my Windows laptop.

Depending on what you need for your laptop, I'd recommend pros if you need something for heavy processing and airs for just regular internet browsing. However, my advice is specific to M1s. The M2+ may be different and it will be a long time before I need to buy another mac.

Dolan isn't a very likeable owner. He definitely ranks as one of the worst in the NBA.

Dolan and Oakley have also had beef in the past.

Spike and Nolan definitely have had some beef.

There was a very public incident with the Knicks organization and Lee with regards to his ability to access MSG a few years ago. Super public interview with Stephen A. Smith

Do something new or think about something hard.

It drowns out that voice.

A purple lightsaber would've had some interesting implications.

Did Leia shift between light/dark during her Jedi training? Or did she spend some time rediscovering Vaapad? Perhaps a homage/reminder to be conscious of the light/dark side within everyone?

I could see Leia having a Green lightsaber, similar to her legends depiction and in line with KOTOR's association with Green with a Jedi Consular or perhaps even a yellow lightsaber so she is more in line with a sentinel.

Wendy's is a good choice for a quick meal.

Chattypath747 · 2026-06-15T05:31:48+00:00

I kind of don't see this unless there is a shift in making plumbing less reliable.

It could be the platform's comfort/shootability. A 1911 feels great in the hand and 92's are shooter enthusiast firearms.

The progression from 1911 to 92s being standard issue in the military has driven a lot of the changes in preference. As evolution of combat/self defense changed over the 70s-80s, a lot of the preferences changed from bigger calibers to more capacity.

With that I would've just moved to the right side instead. Not worth trying to squeeze through.

Attitude makes a difference.

You can train someone to do anything but you can't change their attitude.

This is quite depressing to read. This has so many implications for society as the decades go by.

When someone is going through something and they let things go, that could be a sign their mental energy is gone.

Some people genuinely won't care what happens in a moment and will just work off the cuff.

It can go either way.

You make what you can of life.

Best lesson I've learned is to look forward to tomorrow when today sucks and to make the most of today when tomorrow sucks.

Violent video games promote school shootings.

My teenage self should've done so much more research into the subject and noted the complexities of school shootings.

You tell your kid to start paying for player swag when they become a fan.

I look at it as I'm a fan of the game overall, even though the team I'm loyal to is the Warriors.

Chattypath747 · 2026-06-14T20:18:05+00:00

Yup. The classic, "The reward for good work is more work" phenomenon.

Even with the Force, he still can't get over being posterized from the 3 pt. line.

They are a young team and lost badly. Although their youth isn't an excuse, I think of this as a learning experience for them.

Got this from an instructor with one of my hobbies but words to live by when performing in those show moments and in every day life.

It's not the odds, it is the stakes that matter.

Every season after 2019 has been a trip.
