Seattle is as expensive as NYC except everything closes at 9 and it has 1/100th vibrancy. It's basically San Jose North.
Seattle has better sushi though.

Having your own private bathroom is a really underrated perk of WFH. There are of course many more benefits to WFH, but using your own bathroom is something no office and their disgusting communal bathrooms could ever compete with.

I have a genuinely nice house. I also have coffee and snacks at home, and a lot of space too because I don't have to live in an overcrowded bit of an overly expensive city.
You also have a private bathroom! Extremely good reason to never work in an office.

Does it have the same music? That was my favorite part of the original game. You could even put the second cd in a regular stereo and play it. The Fat Man has re-released it and music from the sequel:

The game also cost $99 which was super expensive at the time.

Check out the new nightly of DosBox as well it's got a really cool new adaptive CRT monitor emulation that seems to do the right thing for EGA and VGA monitors. Also includes 3dfx Vodoo support now as well.
Do you have a link to this? I looked on their site and Sourceforge but didn't see anything about it.

I wasn't crazy about the proprietary nature of Warp, but I tried it and was sold almost immediately. I can use the same modifier-key commands to select and manipulate text that I'm used to, which feels super nice. They also provide such good sessionization out of the box that I don't really feel the need to install tmux or anything like that.
The problem is that Warp is closed source, requires a log in, has extensive telemetry, promised to go open source but never did and has raised 78M from VCs including 50M from Sequoia, the FTX people.

One of my dreams is that Americans will treat New World history and accomplishments with the same respect as we treat European history and accomplishments. LatAm is wonderful, the food is better than across the pond, and a lot of the cultural history there impacts our day to day lives here.
Mexican and Guatemalan migrants? Many are 100% ethnically 100% Mayan.
There's a lot of evidence that the American obsession with natural rights is at least in part due to Native thought and lifestyle. Their history and motivations matters a lot more to you than Lord Fuckwad of Luxembourg marrying his sister. The accomplishments down there are just as remarkable, and much more accessible than the Euro equivalent.
There's a really great Youtube channel that covers indigenous American history called Ancient Americas:
https://www.youtube.com/@AncientAmericas
It does a ton of really great deep dives into pre-Columbian and native cultures. I agree with you that there's a lot to learn and an unrecognized degree of influence on our day to day lives (corn and potatoes being two examples).
