So we're going to put tariffs on things where there aren't even domestically-sourced options? WTF?

I envy that type of freedom. Go for it! Hope you meet some awesome game developers and learn a lot!

I feel the gaming industry itself is abusive and low pay. In HS, I thought I was going into the video game industry as well. But now I'm just doing enterprise-y REST API development. It pays more and is less demanding than making games. Family comes first I guess. I can do my passion projects on the side if I want. I managed to buy a home by moving to LCOL area in Texas instead of going to California.

Maybe a Ford Maverick or a Honda Ridgeline. The other trucks are just unreasonable. $80K for a Tundra, or $60K for a Tacoma? WTF!!!

TBH, I feel like there's an oligarchy controlling both parties. I voted for Harris, but I think I just voted for the less bat-shit crazy side. The billionaires are still going to get richer, corporations will continue to consolidate, middle-class will keep dwindling, and common people will keep getting poorer and have less say.

Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.

I don't game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.

The first step in not living in a shithole is to not build a house in a shithole, e.g. swampy Florida.

Unbounded risk-taking such as insuring people building houses in risky locations will lead to bankrupting the country.

If insurance is going to cover it, then there needs to be stipulations on the home owner to reduce the risk - for example, building the home out of steel and concrete, raising the structure high enough so that floods and storm surges cannot reach indoors, etc.
