@alexibetter @shagbark_hick The outskirts of Taos is perfect. There’s free bus transportation in Taos County. Tons of self-sufficient folks around the area.

@shagbark_hick El Paso is really cool. underrated. maybe Taos New Mexico?

I'd be curious to know what people would do in my position. If I leave NYS, where should I go? Keep in mind I: - Hate humid heat - Am and will always be a low-earner (low prop. tax more important than low income tax) - Do not fit into "normie" HVAC drywall strip-mall world - Am very Catholic and wish to go to Mass every single day if possible - Am very much a "Yankee" but alternately I do mesh well with Latinos and speak some basic Spanish - Want to be around friendly, well-read, thoughtful eccentrics (esp 'Catholic hippies') - Could do rural or urban, cold-wet or desert climate - Prefer to avoid total reliance on automobiles - Need a place where I can buy a house CHEAPLY (as in, under $100k -- $200k at the absolute most) There are compromises anywhere, to be sure. Thus far I figure I could, in no particular order: 1. Get over my hatred of hot-humid heat and move back to Chalmette, LA 2. Get over my aversion to cars and live in rural NM on the fringes of Silver City or maybe T or C 3. Try out El Paso 4. Pony up big money and try out Coos County NH 5. Try out normiedom in or near Wichita (?) 6. Live in the hood in Steubenville OH 7. Move to Tucson or maybe ABQ 8. Forget all this and just be full-blown nomadic in a boat or a bus Or, of course, I could stay in NYS, though all my friends here are leaving and I'm starting to think the writing is on the wall for me here. What would you do? I get a lot of scattershot advice on this so I figured it'd be interesting to make a thread for it.

@LMFHistorian Run up to the Horsetooth Tavern and grab the boys…

My buddy has some hunting land near Ft. Collins, property he's either inherited or bought piecemeal. He goes out there the other day to do some improvement, bunch of Africans in jean leggings & buckle loafers "prospecting for gold" along a pathetic little 6in creek.

@bradfieldrich @shagbark_hick North of Ute Mountain in Costilla County, CO is calling . Jaroso, Mesita, Eastdale..

@shagbark_hick Have a look at the Earthship community outside Taos. It might resonate with you.

Part of why I am so torn between the Northeast and the Southwest is that they are total antipodes. One is wet, geriatric, overtaxed, 'heavy', dark -- the other is dry, young, low-tax, 'light', sunny. And frankly, I've got a massive pile of savings. A once-in-a-lifetime pile of cash I've worked years to build. We're on our first baby, and I know that if and when the second baby comes, we'll really be in for it. I know that inflation is gonna eat at this pile of cash. I've got the freedom to choose here. Stay in the Adirondacks, move down to the Mohawk Valley of NY, or pull up the stakes completely and go to West TX / NM / AZ (where America's future really lives). But I've got one shot. One choice. Once I make the choice, it's over, I've gone and done it. The future of my family hinges on the choice I make. There are no take-backs. I know that once baby #2 comes, we're likely to stay wherever we're at. So it's a "hot" moment in my life. Gotta make a choice. Gotta pray about it. Heart says go Southwest, to the future, to youth, to warmth -- brain says stay here, with the past, with the elderly, in freezing temps. Lord help me.

@CJMAGAMom I just moved here from Orange County. Holy cow! is all I can say😅

@sundarpichai Google sure is bringing a staggering amount of AI compute online. Almost no one understands the magnitude.

Google is now the first cloud provider to integrate 1 GW of flexible demand into long-term utility contracts. Our ability to shift or reduce our energy demand when it’s needed can help utility companies balance supply/ demand and plan for future capacity needs. This is a big milestone for responsible data center growth and helps keep costs lower for local communities. blog.google/innovation-and…

For those who played video games between 1985 and 1995, what's the video game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@JessePeltan Yup

2.9 TW of solar globally, half in China. 1.3 TW of wind globally, half in China. The majority of all new capacity is built China.

@OC_Scanner A helo did an awesome turn maneuver at the Huntington Beach Pier this afternoon. Makes sense

The USS Boxer was off the coast of Camp Pendleton, CA as of this morning conducting helo supply drills

This is going to be much worse than the 2022 GPU crisis.

I am now at 5 GPU providers being completely sold out for a single node of 8xH100s. I don’t think people understand the gravity of what is about to come.

@Viggie_Smalls93 We’re moving from Buena Park to Minnesota on Monday. Feel your pain
