A high school English teacher spoiled me by having us read Cat's Cradle instead of the more common/historical Slaughterhouse Five. Great kickoff to a lifelong love of his satire.
Cat's Cradle shows both the horror and absurdity of Nuclear War. It's unbelievable to imagine losing all the world's water and yet anyone can fathom how actually horrific it would be. This is Vonnegut's gift. Hard to imagine another write who can make you feel knowledgeable and challenged but also doesn't require some deep subject/stylistic knowledge of the allegories to be in on the joke.
Breakfast of Champions is also a must read. No book has ever made me laugh out loud both at the deadpan delivery and absurdity.
Funny, I was just thinking how helpful these tips are compared to a lot of the advice on cooking which is repetitive.
Was not aware of the differences in veggie storage.
You do have a lot more seasoning control not in a shaker and that's how it is done in a professor kitchen.
Thanks!
Even besides the German brands (VW, Mercedes, BMW), there are a huge number of European car manufacturers (Skoda, Peugeot, citroen) > showing ability and demand for cars in Europe.
Also, the small size and mostly flat nature of Europe, cultural diversity, and longer vacation time all contribute to Europeans traveling more than Americans. Not to mention excellent roads, family/student hostels for less expensive trips (pre-Airbnb era) and obviously Visa free travel.
So yes Europeans might not have the same idea of long distance road trips we have in the US but that is not to say they don't take the same trips or more than in the US
It seems like a mid sized Midwestern city could fit the bill.
Grand Rapids, MI or Des Moines, IA both seem like good fits to me.
(Colleges, low unemployment, spacious to support growth, ripe for more tech companies)
I base this off the thought to "help the city". So a large Midwestern city (Chicago/Indianapolis/St Louis/Kansas City) would see little impact from as few as 50 workers. Likewise in a West Coast city with Bay Area expats. And East Coast with abundance of Gov't Contractor tech jobs.
I don't know the South as well so can't speak to any good candidates there.
Also am biased towards the Midwest.
When a previous article on RenTec/Jim Simons was posted, I saw a comment thread about how Renaissance couldn't possibly be making such consistent money from Machine learning and quantitative analysis, but instead the reason they are so secretive and consistent is that they have insider info they have to hide. Do others agree with that theory? It makes more sense to me, due to a conviction on efficient market hypothesis.
That's what I was thinking. Arch switched to all x86_64 a few months ago (announced the phase-out) but, Arch would probably be just as lightweight. I'm not sure what DE it comes with
