Good pens and good paper.

I'm in IT and do prefer to write for many tasks. When all I need is "Room, Rack, and U" to work on a system, a small scrap of paper is better than putting the laptop on the floor. I expect the role matters more than the industry.

For some, it's anything north of the Bronx.

Thank you for reading and responding. It has become an important part of how I view myself.

Even the word itself.

The original Fasci Siciliani were poor peasants protesting for basic human, labor, and civil rights. Mussolini co-opted the word in order to ride into power on a populist wave.

My Great Great Grandfather was one of the 18 killed in the Marineo massacre of Jan 3 1894. He didn't want to be a martyr for the cause. His widow managed to escape further persecution with their children to the tenements of lower Manhattan.

My Grandfather was named after him, and I was named after my grandfather.

And no mention of Italy?

That was a given when he kept boxes of top secret material in his bathroom.

My son has ARFID. He's 15. It's really hard. He's seeing a therapist. But he's still seriously underweight. I don't have any food recommendations, but I do wish you the best with your progress.

Employment. I got a job with one of the big companies in the field. Very employee-focused. Good pay. Great benefits. Commute is 8 miles. Smart, pleasant, and capable co-workers.

As far as using the stuff - nope. Don't use it at all.

Patsys. Scapegoats. Tools.

I'd aim for Annares as a model. From 'The Dispossessed". Syndicalism/Anarchism.

Once you are done, consider the date it was published.

When you finish it, look to The Left Hand of Darkness.

Also, there is a postscript/short story that serves as a prequel to Dispossessed. The Day Before the Revolution. Do not read it first.

AI data centers use a LOT of electricity. Our systems are rated for 130 kilowatts per rack. Our minimal buildings are in the order of 40 megawatts. Elmo is most certainly not going to build anything that can compare with our midrange buildings.

The Dispossessed. I am now an anarchist.

My wife and I met at these ages - in the 1980s. The warning i have for you is that you both have not yet learned the kind of patience and forgiveness needed for a lifetime together. That will take time and work. We spent a lot of years in difficult situations and needed to rely on each other. A relationship is hard work.

A 2Mw diesel is too big for a regular truck. But not as big as a small house. My prior data center drew 4Mw. My current data center (AI-oriened) draws 30Mw.

I've resolved one adoption mystery and have two more under investigation. It's very rewarding work.

I'm also working on Euro citizenship for me and my siblings. We may be too late - some international policies are changing and we may be already shut out.
