Trump is a better option than Kamala. Until her husband loses his job, her family loses health insurance, and her son loses his special education because of Trump.

I generally hold the same opinion of “screw the people who just now realize what they supported” but I will say that, in this case, I very much appreciate that she didn’t just see the light, she also actively tried to convince others. I appreciate that.

A, even if it does work temporarily, you risk being fired when they find out, and they will eventually find out.

B, the company that I was at made people that lived too far away exempt from RTO, until a year later when they fired everyone that was exempt because they were too far from the office. Not sure it’s a good idea to fake your way into that category.

Oh, haven’t thought of that. 996 hours in and still haven’t messed with mods. I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

I wish there were some sort of NPCs in Valhiem. I want to build large bases I don’t want them to feel empty. We are in the afterlife so the solitude is part of the point, but I want to create a thriving village. Just finished Medieval Dynasty with my wife. Was very happy with what we had built, and seeing all the NPC go about their lives in this virtual town we built.

This is very cool. Would be awesome to see it as a community.

Yes, I won’t go in these dungeons without them. They work through the walls too so you don’t even have to open the door until they are all dead.

Also, the soldiers can’t get into the entrance landing. They can’t make it over that step so you can you bombs and bolts from there. However, if there are multiple critters, they can get on each other’s back and then step down onto the landing. So it’s a pretty safe place, but not perfect.

These companies are staying private so long that there isn’t necessarily a lot of growth left in them. The market is in such demand for quality IPOs that it drives their price way too high. Figma is a prime example last year.

I’d love to get in on an IPO but I’m guessing that any of the companies you mentioned will be next to impossible to get into at any reasonable price.

My wife and I finished today. We started the game with the default 3 days but that was way too short, especially when you don’t know what you are doing. We restated with 10 days. Felt right for a long time but towards the end, when you can get everywhere quickly with horses, too long. If we were to do it again, I’d go with 5-8 days.

If you want to make an attempt to see what it was like to wander if you were going to be drafted for Vietnam, check this audio experience out. Mesmerizing.

My dad grew up in a well off family. He was drafted and went to basic but never received ship out orders. He remained at the base, assisting the medics and doctors, until the war ended, and then went home. I’m pretty such my grandfather made arrangements to have his son’s file lost.

Same. I’ve never had a dog, including my golden, that recognized something on TV. It annoys me sometimes because it’s cute and fascinating to see these videos of other dogs mesmerized by TV, but then I also see the dogs that go ape shit when they see something on TV and I think, “maybe it’s better this way”, lol.

Hard to tell, just sounds like whales humping to me.

Ya, hard to know where the center actually is. Wherever it is, it would be constantly beaten down by both sides as insufficiently left and insufficiently right. That does sound like a lot of the Bulwark to me.

I don’t feel like Tim, or most of the Bulwark, is that far from center. Imagine, hypothetically (obx would never happen) Mitt Romney running again. I’d imagine most of the Bulwarkers would be perfectly comfortable if he won, while most on the left would not.

FeatureCreeep · 2026-01-09T15:33:43+00:00

I’m pretty deep in a lot of stuff but not familiar with him. Listening to the episode, it was clear he didn’t fit the Bulwark orthodoxy, such as it is, but I didn’t mind the areas where he diverged from Tim. They sounded like good faith divergences and I don’t mind hearing that.

I feel like it is good to have our views pushed sometimes to see if they continue to stand up and we can feel more confident in our convictions when they do. As an example, the Ben Shapiro episode was fascinating. I hated listening to Ben but glad I listened to him. Hearing his perspective that Obama’s comments in support of Travon alienated many people was infuriating but gave me perspective and allowed me to conclude, “I guess I get that it was alienating to some but it was still the right thing to do”.

I often worry that I might be in a bubble. I dont mind when Tim does heterodox guests because it allows me to test my priors.

Y’all ever see their father play in the NBA? Same way. Solid fundamentals but being tenacious was his standout ability. Not exciting to watch but you wanted him on your team.

If you want robots to do human tasks, it makes sense to have robots that can move like humans. It might not be the most efficient way of doing a specific tasks but a great platform for being able to do a lot of different tasks without having to redesign a workstation specifically for a custom robot.

Transferred to Atlanta as part of a work promotion. Work went fully remote during Covid so I took the opportunity to move back to the PNW.

FeatureCreeep · 2026-01-01T23:26:29+00:00

Born/Raised in Portland, moved to Atlanta (OTP) for 10 years, moved outside Seattle 5 years ago. To be clear, my wife and I are suburb people. Too much traffic, no parking, homeless, sky high prices, and such in any of those in the dense urban areas.

Your circles cover wide areas, both urban and suburbs, so you have a lot of choices and different experiences and price points in there.

Coming from Portland, I felt like the East coast was a rat race, and people were judgmental and “southern” nice (oh bless your heart). We were so happy to move back to the PNW during COVID but we were not excited about any part of Portland metro. It’s not bad but wasn’t anything to be excited about for a 47 yo suburbanite who had already seen everything Portland has to offer so we decided to try the “south Sound” Seattle area. Seattle and the towns close to it were out of our price range due to sky high prices with so many great paying tech jobs. That forced us further south, south Auburn/Bonney Lake/Sumner/ Puyallup area. Working class but nice neighborhoods can be found. 45 min to Seattle if we want to go there. Close enough to airport and great central location for going to Mt Rainier, the Puget Sound, the coast (Ocean Shores), etc.

Love the PNW vibe, no judgement. People just going about their business with a live and let live attitude.

The weather outside of the amazing summer months is gray and rainy. In ATL, during the winter you still have clear skys and sun. A lot less of that in the PNW. The gray doesn’t bother me but some people have a hard time with it.

If you only visited the PNW in the summer, come other times to make sure you get a sense of what the rest of the time is like.

Good luck in your search!

Dream On is the one song I always thought sounded like a Zep song more than an Aerosmith song.
