    Civ 6 is probably where I hop off the series

    Thanks for the post. It's exactly what I was looking for. I saw civ6 sitting in my steam library with about an hour of playtime. Now I know it will stay that way.

    Interview questions you’d ask for no reason

    Tell me about a difficult problem you encountered before at work (or school) and how you handled it. Did you find a solution? -Gives you a gauge on what the candidate considers a difficult problem. -Depending on if they answer with a technical issue or a people issue can say a lot about a...

    What music are you listening to #64: And rock 'n' roll was in his soul, and music was a friend

    I forgot how much I like classic rock and british invasion. My wife hates it but she was gone Saturday so I switched my pandora over and listened to zeppelin, black sabbath, stones, clapton, the who, ccr, hendrix, animals, stevie ray vaughn, even some beatles and beach boys. I especially love...

    The world in 2100

    Eh it's more like it no being profitable enough so no one implements it, or even more so, old energy sector and emerging markets generates so much profit no one will shut it down. We have the tech to pretty much go all green with our electric grid in the US but no one will do it cus of cost and...

    The world in 2100

    More automation. Self driven cars will be a thing of the past. Owning individual vehicles will be something only for the wealthy as a luxury. Automation will eliminate a lot of menial jobs. Like AI will take your order at McDonald's and the food is served by robots (heck they already have...

    Where on Earth?

    At the risk of sounding rude, that stuff sounds cool but it's also easily accessible in the US, bbq, skiing, rodeos, camping. I would like to go to Vancouver someday though as I hear it's a really cool city.

    What would you do with $1,000,000,000?

    Well yeah, I'd easily make it on way less than a billion. So I'd probably donate a lot to charities, invest a lot, play with day trading options, buy a boat and some cars, but nothing specifically planned.

    What would you do with $1,000,000,000?

    Assuming you hire all the lawyers, accountants/advisors, and pay all the taxes and all the kinda mandatory stuff, and obviously quitting my day job: 1. I'd probably adopt a couple kids. I have two girls but if I had unlimited time and money now I would like more. I don't think working I could...

    Where on Earth?

    There's a lot of things I want to see but probably won't do any of it due to price and safety. On my list in no particular order, Europe: Visit Ireland, drink a lot of Guinness. Eat fish and chips in London and see Big Ben, Go on a tour of Bavarian breweries in Germany (though I have been there...

    Big industry and the pursuit of efficiency - inherently bad

    You need to separate efficiency from profits and separate both from production. Efficiency means producing something at a lower cost, whether it's materials or labor or price or whatever, it doesn't necessarily mean we now must produce more. And both obviously are correlated to profits but the...

    Coronavirus 3: The Resurgence

    In Michigan people have been flocking to bars since they reopened and not being very careful. Overall cases are going up a bit but there have been a couple places where like a dozen people tested positive after going. Bars where like the whole bar got sick. Kinda nuts. We have been in close...

    What'cha Cookin' Tonight II

    I found this chicken seasoning and I absolutely love it. I've actually only used it on chicken once. I've been putting it a lot more on vegetables and making garlic bread out of it. It's mostly garlic and salt but has a little pepper and herbs to give it a kick. It just works well with lots of...

    Would you want to be the President or Prime Minister of your country?

    He was the director of the CIA for a year before becoming Reagan's VP. He probably had knowledge of he iran contra cover up but it was never proven. He pardoned a bunch of those convicted during his presidency. He was a pretty bad president, but what ultimately got him was the economy. He...
