Congratulations!! I'm originally from Seattle, but one of my uncles had a homestead up there in Pend Oreille county WA, pretty close to Idaho. beautiful area even though the rest of Washington has gone from bad to worst. I would go back to Idaho, but my wife wants a warmer climate and milder winter, so we're looking at TN. BTW, wife is a Jersey girl too, but she can't wait to exit this state. It's sad too because NJ does have a lot to offer.

Ok that makes sense. For me the most time consuming part of cooking is the prep work - slicing, dicing, chopping, chiffonade. The actual putting heat and fire to raw inputs is relatively quick or at least less work. Sounds like the unskilled labor in fast food and chains could be replaced pretty easily though.

Yeah, I'm sure there's resistance, especially among older people. I don't think complete automation is coming to haute cuisine soon, and most people want to talk to a waiter or sommelier if they're shelling out big money. But at least taking care of the more mundane tasks like bussing tables, washing dishes, basic prep work could help control costs

How much change do you see currently or near future with automation and robots in the industry? I'm guessing that as wages and personnel costs increase, more establishments are looking to replace high cost labor with automation. This may not be cheap either, but as labor costs go up and retention becomes difficult, automation becomes more competitive. Plus robots never take breaks, can work 24/7, never mess up your food, and always wash their hands after using the restroom.

We never let then inside. Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

We're almost there as well!

And it's sad because there's a lot to like, especially South NJ, the North West, and the Beaches. Like Washington State, the Illiberals have managed to take something good and totally destroy it.

You need to leave NJ when you retire. They will still levy tax on contributions to TSP and traditional IRA, but if you leave the state, they cannot tax your withdrawals. If you stay in NJ. they'll tax everything

We're looking at TN. Although real estate has also increased there too, as well as number of people moving there. Constitutional carry and arming teachers seems like very strong 2A. protection

Same in Washington State, mass migration of Californians in the 80s had the initial effect of driving up real estate prices, and eventually flipped the state from redish to blue.

My phone died last year when I was OCONUS. only backup was an old Fire tablet, and almost every account wants to 2F to my phone or authenticator. And I was using eSIM. Very difficult to get even minimal capability. But I will NEVER use eSIM for my primary number again!

Or you could go to login page with Firefox and select "forgot password" It should send a rest link to email or SMS I use KeePass, and I don't store that password electronically, only handwritten

Oh I think this is gonna be worse than Y2K, and many of us remember what an apocalypse that was

I'm getting my orange blockers ready

As for being judged by 12, it's going to cost you in this state.
