Find an un-Woke kinda local U - and earmark the sci/tech depts. Maybe a little donor plaque on the wall. Anyway, you can dump it all on THEM.

Do check if there are some state/local colleges somewhere near that haven't gone all ultracommie. I'd even consider a good trade school ... they are mostly dead practical, no politics ... but sci/tech is still my top pref.

The local university borders on useless. I don't know much about Montana Tech in Butte but it started out as the Montana School of Mines and I think tends towards red necks. Montana State in Bozeman probably is the best of the breed. The last time I looked RPI was betting the farm on video games. https://news.rpi.edu/content/2018/06/26/rensselaer-game-design-program- among-top-10-nationwide They even thought they could revitalize Troy with gaming companies. The last time I was in Troy was 2004 and it could best be revitalized with bulldozers to finish the half assed, unfinished urban renewal of the '80s. It never was a kinder, gentler place but I was really missing my .45.

Get another .45 ... ya never know. As for the old 'industrial' midwest ... think it's doomed for a LONG time to come. The rot is at every level.

Once again you have no fucking clue about my politics. You're the one that sucks down townHall, RedState, and the rest. >> It never was a kinder, gentler place but I was really missing my .45. > > Get another .45 ... ya never know.

I dont see many blacksmiths around either. Its like the 'save our high streets' cry in the UK We don't need high streets (or malls) any more. We can get it all cheaper and easier on Amazon. What we need is nice places to live. All those shops have flats above them that are simply too expensive to rent, because the owners are paying business taxes on businesses that have just closed. What you need is cafes, a few fresh food shops, and residents living on the high street. The market town is dead, but the residential community broadbanded up to the gills is the new reality But not a single politician has realised this Post Industrial towns are now Islamic ghettoes because no one else wants to live there. No one has a clue. But it doesn't stop them shouting about 'left against right' the latest moral panic, or some existential crisis in something that simply doesn't matter -- In todays liberal progressive conflict-free education system, everyone gets full Marx.

But not for YOU :-) I'll let my few remaining, distant, relatives fight it out afterwards. They're NOT gonna like dealing with my house though - 70 years worth of every dead relatives JUNK in it, plus mine, parents, brothers, buds .... don't even know where to start, so I won't ....

They > will not accept anything else. SOME entities in the USA do that, others do not. I don't LIKE direct withdrawal, one bad actor gets the correct numbers/auth and they can drain you dry in moments. USA has legal protections for credit cards, but not direct withdrawals. Also often hard to CUT OFF companies once they get direct access. I did that once with CompuServe, had to go to a bank and and have 'em explicitly block the corp.

Works ! :-) Never had one, but MAY have to get one - preferably a cheap one - Just In Case. NOT thru my main carrier though, gotta have more than one basket. IdiotPhones have, obviously, become THE major target for Vlad's little geek army. Promise them free beer and teeny-bopper hookers and they'll work themselves to death. Note the mentioned article didn't really say OTHERS had figured out this hack. RedHat may have made the nuts-n-bolts itself, proven it WAS possible. It'll be fixed in the next update ... and then enemy AI will create several near-alts next month ......

It's not always an option. In China, if you want to buy anything, you need a smartphone. In France, you can avoid a smartphone, but you will avoid a lot of things which require a smartphone. And it looks like it will become more and more mandatory. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io
