I wouldn't move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you'll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.

Don't forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you're going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.

Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You're coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It's an expensive hobby and a hard job.

If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you'll probably like it.

We don't deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.

Trump To Tariff Chips Made In Taiwan, Targeting TSMC

Ah yes put tariffs on the goods that our allies make, a tried and true solution to the problem of groceries

Long term, more high tech manufacturing will be the result of more technology availability for cheaper, not higher cost chips from overseas

It's my understanding that Taiwan doesn't manufacture the chip producing machines anyways, those come from ASML

5 years too late, hotels have been cheaper and better for a while now. All of these companies that touted revolutionizing industries have just become worse versions.

Netflix, airbnb, uber, etc all of them are worse for people than the things they replaced
