Oh, I didn't mean to dis your place, I am sure it is very nice. But for $3k you could live in a ****ing SWEET 4-bedroom, 2-bath house in a very nice and very convenient area here.

Over the midwest, yeah.

I grew up in Minnesota. Mosquito is the state ****ing bird, there, man.

But I don't think SF is worth it. The weather isn't *that* nice. The rent is just so ****ing high because of all the well-earning tech professionals that reduce supply and increase demand for housing. Although it's sunnier on the Oakland side (but more ghetto, too).

Completely disagree for anyone that is not mediocre.

For NOW, you are right.

But in 10 years telecommuting will be much easier, and there will be more firms willing to telecommute.

Even if you are way above average, you will simply have to compete with orders of magnitudes of more employees. I don't think I share your belief that programmers outside the US are less likely to be mediocre.

Being better than mediocre will mean that you can demand a better than the median wage. But if the median wage goes down, this still puts downward pressure on your wages.

So I went out to Whole Foods because that's where I figured I could get the freshest fish.

Bought a pound of Yellowfin Tuna/all the condiments needed for sushi.

Trip report/pics to follow later tonight.

I hope you are making spicy tuna rolls then. So yummmmm. I am going out to dinner in a bit with my gf for all you can eat snow crab, rock shrimp, regular shrimp, oysters, scallops, prime rib, and cod. All for the low price of like 32$/person. Should be mad fun as I have not eaten last eight hours in preparation for this event. I am planning on eating purely snow crab and am aiming for between 10 and 20 clusters. If I can top 20 I will be super happy/full.

Tipping for take out: When I call and order, I don't usually tip when I pick it up. When I go to a new place, like today, I like to sit around, check out the take out menu, place my order and wait. Tip when it's brought to me, bagged up, or just thank them and walk out?

also wtf at little league softball. stupid girls
