My first thought was Wells Fargo but they’d burn down a rainforest for an extra tenth of a percent.

I knew a very large company that was offered a billion dollars if they would build their factory in Louisiana. They didn’t do it because the workforce could not support the factory. Not enough engineers and higher education workers, but plenty of line workers.
Mets is going to take the money and run. They’ll meet minimum requirements then hollow it out.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 6 days ago:
My 13 and 15 year olds are PC first gamers, then consoles, then mobile. I raised them that way on purpose because I wanted to avoid tablet and phone screens. I could control access better that way.
And yea, also because I’m a pc and console gamer and wanted to play my favorite games with them.
The older one has started playing mobile games more often and yea, it’s Genshin and Honkai. That kid was always in love with Fire Emblem, so Honkai makes sense to me. The stories are all kind of the same.
A friend stayed with us for a few days and they have a 12 and 10 year old. I have every console imaginable, PCs on big screens, and they never left their tablets.
I think once kids get on the tablet/phone/mobile games, they don’t really leave. I don’t know that I would have either.

- Comment on Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes 1 month ago:
Aside from this being false, it’s kinda crazy that Steam has had no significant public leaks.
- Comment on Has anyone tested yunohost? 2 months ago:
I had the same experience as many here. Great place to start out and if you don’t need or want more control then it’s perfect. I ended up on unraid and mostly use docker for apps.
- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s why I said my explanation was quick and dirty.

No. The far more likely way to handle it is with flocculation/coagulation since plants are already set up to support this.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:

- Comment on I don't have any kids or anything but want some one day. I grew up under the fog of 9/11. How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it? 2 months ago:
The same way you grew up in a world where horrible shit had happened 20 years before you were born. You just sort of internalize it over time. Or not.

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

- Comment on In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico 4 months ago:
An acquaintance helped close a deal for a stadium naming rights. It had been a multi year process, the negotiations were crazy, the company deliberated forever trying to decide if this was the best way increase brand recognition.
So like a shit head that thinks he’s funny I started calling the stadium by its sponsor like 3 sponsors ago when I was around them. You could see the anxiety spike when I did it.
Your comment made me think of that. It’s hilarious. They would have had a fucking breakdown if they had heard someone say that out loud.

- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 8 months ago:
Nextcloud borked my Unraid server. Took me forever to find the source of constant lockups. Apart from that, the Nextcloud container took up more of my time than any other part of my server, including the OS.
This was a couple years ago. Maybe things have changed.
My Unraid server is a dream otherwise. Rock solid and 30 containers running smoothly for years and years.
Just another data point.
