  • If you're in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it's valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

    Unfortunately the smoke doesn't but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

  • Detroit definitely is. Stuff is cheap there and things are turning around, just doesn't have the momentum or wider recognition of any of this yet.

    There's a reason why Portland Oregon was so well known for being weird. Parts of the city were dingy for a long time but if you were glass half full about that it meant living there was affordable. All the poor creatives could live in a city open to change, not just the folks with high paying bullshit jobs that normally are the only ones who can afford to live close to work in the city.

    If I had the money to invest in some real estate, I would have bought stuff in the Detroit area since it's got all the same ingredients to be the next Portland

  • There's also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I've been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I'm the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I'd just get the key out of the drawer and 'cheat' eventually.

  • Good should not be the enemy of perfect.

    Your concerns are valid, but there are only so many economically viable ways to produce energy and nuclear is plainly better than burning more fossil fuels despite the downsides.

    Yes, we need to transition to 100% renewables(that dont take more energy in producing the equipment than its lifetime output) but until that comes to pass any option that isn't actively killing us globally, eg, fossil fuels, should be on the table.

  • If I gotta breathe in smoke from a fire I’d prefer it be that sourdough fire.

    But yeah it’s pretty bad here lately. This situation must have something to do with the tropical storm remnants, think it’s blocking in all of the smoke from blowing east

  • I doubt they'd spend the hangtime thinking about their transgressions.

    It would more useful for other billionaires to see the hangtime and imagining that, as a deterrent.

    Yes this is a completely pedantic comment
