Handful of townhouses for sale. Cheapest is $225k for 2 beds/1 bath, 1100 sq.ft. The others for sale are about 20k more expensive and are bigger (and there are some that are $$$).

One of the older (60s?) homes in the area is for sale $525k. It's 3 bed/3 baths, 2100 sq.ft. and an ingroind heated pool and half an acre. This is far too cheap for the area so it might be a divorce or something.

Most lots go for about 400k and other houses are 600k. This is in one of the big upper middle class suburbs in the Midwest

Maybe out in a limb here but, I think industry and aviation are two of the areas that should be able to use fossil fuels longer than others. Their energy expenditure is huge, yes, but the scientific advancement that is necessary to make them zero carbon are still quite a ways in the future.

Fairfield County somewhere? Or maybe Sonoma or Bakersfield?

The truly rich live even differently. They have trusts, of course, but their personal expenses are paid for by their personal non-profit charities that provide an allowance to them that's managed by a family office and full time controller/money-babysitter who is also the family's fixer and consigliare. Additional big purchases live private jet airfare and shopping sprees are paid for by an amex the controller just pays off.

Lizardfolk Fighter. Meh. Though I guess there's a Lizardfolk Cleric I quite like.

Fun fact, that traverse gap separates the red river of the north from the MINNESOTA river - which eventually drains into the Mississippi. The Mississippi starts at Lake Itasca.

Fun fact #2, the Minnesota/Mississippi drains into the Atlantic via the Gulf, but the red river eventually drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Hudson Bay!

Not really. 1 or 2 promotions. Can't forget lead architect, senior lead, principal architect, senior principal architect, distinguished architect, senior distinguished architect, and architecture fellow.

I am doing the best out of all my siblings, so none of them. But if I had to I'd swap with my brother cause his wife is hot.

I think it's obvious that AI created art isn't copyrightable based on current law - but the AI prompts are! I think it's interesting to think about what should be done about the situation and how we should analogize it. Is AI like a paintbrush? Is it like a slave? Is it like an elaborate machine? Most artistic output is copywritable regardless of the machinery used to create it, but a slaves art is not copywritable by its master. But a computer program creating art - if it's not AI, is THAT art copywritable?

It's a fun thought exercise.

The Sundays - Goodbye - superb band, three great albums, and then history. They still make music for their friends and for themselves, but nothing sees the light of day. They got out of music to raise a family and that family is now grown so I would always love for them to get back into it.

You can see the bassist and drummer around on the internet once in awhile. They do their own thing and have their own lives, so it's been neat to catch up with them over the years. But the singer and guitarist disappeared.

 

Like the title says. I have some decent work shoes and decent athletic shoes, but I need to be able to dress down without looking like I'm going to the gym.
