    Unincorporated township in NW Maine. I have a PO Box in Rangeley. I have DSL, but no mail. There are no services in the township, not to speak of.

    I could be wrong, but I think much of Arizona is not actually a dessert. I bet it wouldn't taste good, at all.

  3. Not true. I am a scientist, and I'm a blithering moron, sometimes. If you don't believe me, ask my girlfriend. She will tell you all about it.

  4. I don't see why it couldn't. Stars are like factories that produce elements by smashing stuff together. There should be some C and O in there somewhere. If so, I'm not seeing any reason that stops them from bonding with one C and two O.

    But, I'm pretty sure there would be no meaningful changes to our climate, based on anything made there. I also would begin to guess how much of that might be emitted. It is rather pointless for this discussion, I imagine.

    Hey, now... I have defended Microsoft, multiple times. Not very often, no... But, I have. I don't use their OS but I have defended some of their choices. They don't pay me a damned thing.

    USPS doesn't even deliver here. There is no RFD service here. The other companies just leave my packages down in the village or at the post office. UPS used to come up, but then they slid off my driveway and weren't able to get the truck out until the following day. The driveway is paved, too.

    LOL @ NZ armed forces. That's what, sixteen guys and four jeeps? Give me a boat, four kegs of good beer, and a water pistol - and I'll take both islands by myself. Sheesh.

    NZ armed forces is pretty much like saying US intelligence. We probably have carrier groups with enough people to be a sizable percentage of your whole population. We're not bright, no. We are about as collectively intelligent as NZ is to having military capacity.

    Do you even have an air force?

    The closest we ever came was building our own hub, with memory for buffer, to attach to a plotter, so that we could actually push more than one job at a time. Err... I think that might have been in 1993?

    I don't recall any staff doing more than replacing. There was always busy work, if needed. I also didn't care a whole lot about them being unoccupied. So long as the job is done, it's good enough for me.

    Then again, at the time, tech was moving so quickly that it was sound finance to upgrade. I am not sure how I'd approach it, where I still involved. I'd probably let them decide, truthfully. I was pretty hands-off, and I hired them for a reason. They did things that I could not.

    I retired here, ten years ago. Pot was already decriminalized. They've never even taken my plants. It was damned near impossible to get anything but a fine. It was damned hard to get a fine, even. Now, I can have twelve flowering plants. I don't even know how I could smoke all that. I can legally give it away, but everyone already grows pot and we have been giving it away, long before I came here.

    The law did not really change our behavior. I grow big ol' plants, right in my garden. I have since I moved here, well before it was legal. You can see them from the road. They are kinda obvious.
