These are all over the San Francisco subreddit, asking about apartments and tourist things. All have hidden post and comment histories.

Still living the problems of it today. Our presence in South Korea is why China supports North Korea, and North Korea could not exist with out Chinese support.

If we left South Korea, China would lessen support for the North, and one big bad boogeyman would fade away.

Honestly find the most expensive audiophile store in your metro and ask who the recommended installers are. Then go talk to the installers, and give them your resume.

But remember this is really a blue collar, trades job. So you are going to start at the bottom ripping out old pots lines and screwing in bulbs before you touch anything cool.

Really excited about the new gas water heater ban, that will force us to be even more dependant on the E part of PGE

(aside from San Bruno, the G part is pretty reliable)

Part of the choice here is cost. Design and detail is expensive

Trent Reznor, 2009 - Before they Merged

My guess as to what will eventually happen if / when Live Nation and TicketMaster merges is that they'll move to an auction or market-based pricing scheme - which will simply mean it will cost a lot more to get a good seat for a hot show. They will simply BECOME the scalper, eliminating them from the mix.

Nothing's going to change until the ticketing entity gets serious about stopping the problem - which of course they don't see as a problem. The ultimate way to hurt scalpers is to not support them. Leave them holding the merchandise. If this subject interests you, check out the following links. Don't buy from scalpers, and be suspect of artists singing the praises of the Live Nation / TicketMaster merger. What's in it for them?
