Kind of curious what tech people own, everything from small to big tech. Assuming solarpanels are a given for a lot of peeps here, or maybe will be in the future. But what other tech do you own that you're happy with?
I'm not sure this counts, but the best upgrade I ever made for my home was having new windows installed 20 years ago. I couldn't open the old ones.
During the summer, most days I can avoid air conditioning just by opening the windows and getting a cross breeze. I hear my neighbors' airco turning on, while I am smug with the knowledge that I made a long-term frugal and green investment.

Clojure is an interesting language that will improve the way you work and think with other languages. A passionate community, but there are very few "starter" Clojure jobs; they mostly expect you to have years of experience.
I don't think anyone could go with doing the "Clojure For The Brave And True" book which is online and available in dead-tree form. I liked it so much, I bought the book.

I'm sorry that some states are shitholes, with shitty people trying to make them shittier. I live in one too.
Low taxes, but low benefits to its citizens, so people don't really want to live there. Poor healthcare, poor education, fewer opportunities for the arts and the things that make life worth livin'. It's a cycle of poverty and despair, and it's awful.
When I get money, I'm moving out. But I may never have enough money.
No, because the Founding Fathers were so scared of tyranny of the majority, we have tyranny of the minority instead, and they will never let it change.
