Meaning good lake properties. I don't know specific markets except what I know... but I know that in like Champaign IL there are sub-$200k home and there are at least university jobs nearby. Sample: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1821-Alder-Ln-Champaign-IL-61821/3231008_zpid/ Everything is so spread out there tho' it's really hard if you have to commute to work. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…gpnk @nprofile…vjfh @nprofile…d0zj We have $180,000 houses in amazing locales here in California and people ignore those communities, which are just fine- nothing wrong with them. Most folks are lazy and won't expand their comfort zone, which just makes the problem worse. Most fashionable locales can't really add lots mo'houses due to limited+poisoned water availability. The combo of toxics from WW2/etc and people throwing antibiotics down their toilets have made growing cities bigger mostly a bad idea, since there is less useful water than before. It amazes me that it's so easy to buy a house, still. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…vjfh @nprofile…d0zj Solution is same as it has been since the 1970s. Buy a house further out of town while you're young and can commute. Then gradually trade up to the house you want in the place you want to live. House in California can be had in good locales for $180,000. I don't see a problem here. Instead I see a lot of stubborn, spoiled, inflexible people. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral The loss of the Starship Cherokee.

Innovation goes dark... you can't order filament to your house anymore... A box with Bambu or Polymaker is "probably cause," a flag. So we start hiding... 3d printing moves to the basement. Behind soundproof foam Because neighbors might report the noise. You don't just 'buy now' anymore. That list is tracked. Instead you drive 3 hours across state lines to a parking lot. You pay cash to a guy who knows a guy with an old Ender he never registered! You throw away the box miles away from the house so your neighbors don't see it in the trash. You don't trust the updated slicer. It's reporting you. Every time you hit SLICE it sends a digital fingerprint of your geometry to the cloud... it flags you for review. Old pre-banned slicers on USB drives are contraband. They become currency. Your new printer will keep a permanent history of every gewgaw you printed. It'll listen to you in the room... The only safe printer is a dumb printer. Old machines become gold. Github is scrubbed. Thingaverse is nuked. The internet is sanitized of everything except approved trinkets. If you want a file you don't download it. You meet someone. You hand a design hand to hand. Just because you decided to keep printing, not because you're a criminal.

They were retired in like 1952 but Canada kept using them effectively for forest fires until I think 2017, when the maintenance guy got too old and the parts/repair chain was wearing thin. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral Peter Zeihan: Two ways to increase population 1. "Do not let the women leave the house." exact quote 2. Certain medical workers are having three kids average apparently because they have on-demand healthcare for kids for when they are called into work at a moment's notice they can drop the kids off at a sponsored daycare facility 24 hours a day. I never heard of #2 it must be pretty limited. But anyway nobody wants to say it but option #1, more or less, is the way to recover a nation's population. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…zm7x Disturbing. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral Is it true that chiner has dumped $700 billion of US debt for pennies on the dollar and that England has been the buyer? If so, the English also could be a contributing factor in the pursuit of Grønland over more practical considerations, such as Alberta/Canada and affiliated parties. Assumably in this case we'd need to keep our mitts off of Canada, militarily, as we have been asked to do in the past (since Churchill). But going for a Danish target would be seen as being a "hands off" approach to securing a big chunk'o'arctic dominance. Also fits nicely into "east-coast protection," as it seems President Trump thinks of California as modest and "provincial." I agree in a sense- if you go to San Francisco it doesn't seem like a big city at all, compared to other national big cities. One could argue that Los Angeles is more like the Philippines, tho' the PI has more culture than L.A. so comparisons are mostly socio-political, not cultural/historical. In any case find the claim that England is buying up all the chinese debt interesting + suspect King-Funny-Ears and friends have their reasons! npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…eanz I think Danmark is an innocent bystander, with Trump reviving the Truman-era plan to "buy Grønland" being a ploy. At the time, the US kinda "had" Newfoundland and Churchill had during the war ceded Canada to the US, which was then walked back by a similar group of angry Candian politicans, causing US troops to be pushed back to camps in Edmonton and umm... Calgary. Newfoundland was a big deal and I think just after chiner grabbed the country of Tibet, Canada in similar spirit suddenly annexed Newfoundland (after US servicement took all their young women!) But I think for Señor Trump and his Trumpettes, what matters is plunging NATO into some level of incongruity. If he got Grønland, it would be as a bonus... but I don't think he ultimately cares, like Truman did, if it becomes part of the US or not. A precise yet broad goal shall be to get everyone to fall for a taste, an odor, of incongruity, to push NATO aside or at least diminish trust and effectiveness. I can only guess the reason is to push the US out of dependence on the world. Tho' I also think Trump just disses anyone or any country that has in the past insulted him. You could say for him, that's a bonus. Weird, but I'm entertained and at least that's well... something isn't it? Like earthquakes, there is nothing I can do about it so prefer to find it upon myself to be entertained, probably due to lack of sobriety! Whelp, gotta get back to my Jack Daniels... npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…eanz Apparently an attack on Grønland would terminate NATO. Well, that puts things in a different light. If true, then it's about higher-level machinations + intrigue!

Many families keep 1 gas car and one hybrid/electric/PHEV. When I look around, I see about half the people I know in California have at least one electric car. Am guessing that is pretty typical across the state. For us here, even as poor as we are now, $15 gas isn't going to be a problem. Our financial problems circle around the national insurance crisis, not gasoline. Further, our food prices have been dropping and we're back to what we were spending on groceries that we did in 2018.

For example, cities from Long Beach to Malibu are on prime real estate but embody dilapidated infrastructure. Best to start over with 1-2 acre lots that won't risk a lot of lost life when earthquakes hit. So I wasn't at all surprised when it turned out the recent fire-hit homes aren't being rebuilt.

A few small military bases + midget refineries, Vandenberg and maybe the RAND building. No credit systems anymore. Maybe San Jose but if I were an adversary I wouldn't even bother. Contrast to the eastern seaboard that has many military targets+infrastructure targets. And Texas which would be the largest strong secondary target. I mean unless there's full-scale exchange (cities) but I expect if that happens maybe 100,000 people worldwide manage to survive, if we're lucky. So I have no expectation to survive a big nuclear war anywhere. The problem with nuking coastal California is that nobody cares except Californians. An opponent insults us by bombing our cities and nobody really gives a shit if nuke California. But if they bomb eastern seaboard and Texas then the attacking country has really done damage to the US. So in a sense I get the whole idea of removing targets+national identity from California, espekally since pacific winds + earth rotation will tend to move the fallout elsewhere. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral @nprofile…c0dd @nprofile…snj0 Zombies might make good soup but I think turning the ham radio on will make you a target. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral Note that West Texas was a fairly safe place to live before SpaceX parked nearby. npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral Map showing how (in theory) California would be a better place to be during a nuclear war. I think part of the acceptance of the "ecology movement" may have been allowed by way of deemphasizing military targets in California. They still exist but one by one each target is being removed and "removable" by way of more conventional weapons. Compare to Texas where large swaths of infrastructure would assumably be targeted by enemies, making nuclear attacks more desirable. West Coast has the best chance due to rotation of the Earth + gradually diminishing military targets+presence even if L.A., San Diego, Sacramento and San Francisco are taken out. https://mk.spook.social/files/c5d2f66d-a7c9-4c02-8266-fb6894288f65 npub18jnfuu83mp6u420v6y895dc0vec0cvz45aflkp5pumpj66cpx3xqnxmfed ral Nice box, midget pizza.
