It was my original plan, I was going to move to the Ann Arbor area, but I'm heading to San Diego instead just because a friend of mine, who's like a brother to me, is temporarily moving back to San Diego and I decided to follow. Long term, Michigan is still on my radar as my #1 pick though.
Already has. Moved to Texas in 2017 for work, leaving at the end of this year for somewhere where the heatwaves are at least less intense relatively speaking, and where the power grid isn't run by greedy fucks causing it to fail all the time.
I know two that have already left because of it, and one other that's planning for it in the next year. The intensifying antagonism here is another factor. We're trying to convince as many as possible to get the fuck out, and abandon the south.

Enterprise server use mainly, to minimize downtime, which is a huge deal there. On the consumer level it doesn't have much purpose.

I hate that the rule of law is being eroded and vanishing before my eyes by these people, like Abbott and similar ilk, but...it is hard to yourself stick to the rule of law, when the other will not. It almost becomes meaningless, ink on a piece of paper and nothing more.
I cannot think of good alternatives, when things reach that stage. I just hope we still have a way to turn back from all of this. I want to believe the train tracks we're on still fork off in a different direction, somewhere along the line before we slam into the wall at 80MPH.
The eradication of the rule of law is one of the most dangerous things I think a modern society can have happen. I have ideas about where that goes, and it's some pretty fucking dark places I'd rather we as a nation would not.
Looking across the river into Kentucky from Indiana, is like being a bonobo in one zoo enclosure looking at the enclosure next to yours' full of chimpanzees.
Paid $250 for a refurbished Pixel 7 on Amazon. Other than coming in a generic box and having a generic charging brick and cable, from the phone itself you'd never know it was a refurb.
Instagram I don't believe has it either, and was a major breaking point for me years ago when someone coaxed me into trying it. Their "algorithm" has no place in a followers-only tab, so they will likely never add it.
