  • If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.

    It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.

    The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.








  • I ran into the issue of my party members permadying when I first started playing and I had a rough going in FFT.

    The FF Tactics games aren't the best SRPGs, but I played them before any others so I'm used to the shortcomings. A few tips I remember helping are to let some characters die because you have a few turns to either end the match or revive them, take care of the archers and mages with characters that have high jump/move stats right away, and use a text guide. I can't stand videos, but a quick primer on each story-mode battle gives you a good start.

    You got my special interest in this jump started again, so I'm going back into FFT Advance on my phone emulator now








  • Doorbells. I had to replace a relative's doorbell recently and the old one that lasted 60 years was built 10x better than the incredibly cheap model that all the hardware stores carry.

    The options are either a cheapo doorbell that has an LED in it for no reason, a Ring surveillance doorbell, or a very expensive reproduction doorbell sold on some random website.


  • AllTrails and other apps like it put publically accessible trail/hiking maps into app form and have user reviews and trails rated for their difficulty. And they use GPS for trail navigation to help out inexperienced hikers or mitigate poorly maintained trail markers.

    They also charge a subscription fee for features like the ability to download a map and use it while not connected to the internet. "Pay us or you'll get lost in the woods" is profitable, apparently.

    Apple might be embedding trail maps into Apple Maps, but this article doesn't explain that.
