Reply to Best Town for West Hartford and NYC commute? by Somekick
Honestly? my recommendation is to min/max it. Live in West Hartford, or NYC, give one of you basically zero commute, and the other the full pull. My recommendation is to live in west hartford. Having no commute is amazing life opening experience. If you split the difference you will have two miserable people. Living in west hartford you'll have one miserable person

I always set adaptive cruise control, and some jackass behind me, swerves around and swerves themselves in the gap cruise control left.
It's like.... THE GAP IS FOR SAFETY!!
and they are still going the same speed just one car ahead

they are all unnecessary. both them are open because they are profitable.

They were going to close the one in bishops corner when they opened the one in avon, but it kept getting too much business. Seriously though...go check out the one in Avon. Unbelievable

Reply to Commute from CT to Boston. by Lucky-Front7675
We live in west hartford, and I work in Worcester, often going in to boston. West Hartford is right on 84, and just about halfway between NYC and Boston. I think its about the best you are going to do, balanced commute wise, but just be aware my commute to worcester is about 75 minutes each way, much longer if you hit the bad traffic.

Reply to Good Beef Jerky In CT? by Gutterball0
There's a guy in Worcester mass who used to have a hot sauce store called Dr. Gonzos uncommon condiments and he made unbelievable beef jerky. The store went under like 15 years ago, but he still makes a lot of his stuff and sells it as a side hustle. I tracked him down for some havanero chocolate chip cookies like 10 years ago but haven't looked for him since.
Is this a wild goose chase? An adventure of a lifetime? Completely bullshit story?
Decide if you want to try to find out....

Reply to comment by Darondo in Apologies for yet another thread on the new electricity rates coming our way, but for anyone who has yet to switch away from Eversource, I just did it and it took all of two minutes and will save my wife and I tons of money by mikemikemikeandike
As electric vehicles penetrate deeper, I predict electricity will get more and more expensive from 3pm to 10pm to account for everyone plugging their cars in when they get home from work. I think batteries might not make economic sense now, but peak shaving is going to be a more and more important thing to take into consideration. The cannabis legalization in CT will also impact this (It's crazy, marijuana legalization is changing how some major suppliers design power grid equipment and transformers)

no, thats not true at all. try re-reading, maybe out loud to yourself, if that will help clear things up. Art is not dead, we should care and protect it. Monetization of art is a completely different story. it sounds like YOU are actually saying art isn't important unless its monetized.

Yeah, well the horse manure removal industry took a major hit when cars took over, then cabs took a major hit when Uber moved in. Markets change, entire professions go in and out of existence, and for people that REALLY want to do something where tech has built a better mousetrap, they can do that too, their customer base just shifts from necessity buyers to buyers who purchase hand made things because it's important to them.
Commercial illustration has had the corners nibbled away from it for over a century and never been eliminated. Standardized fonts, Commercial typesetting, lots of things have morphed, reduced and reinvented the creative fields in Commercial, but it's never been eliminated.

Competition is not destruction. Dalle is a tool that requires weilding. CNC machines did not destroy sculpting or woodworking, they created and added another category.
Also, it doesn't matter. Art is expression. Art is contextual. You saying the exact same thing as me is a different expression because you said it. It might make it harder to commercialize Art, but technology has always done this.

Dalle 2 did not destroy art in any conceivable way. What a ridiculous statement.

If you're in a pinch, don't overlook Costco. Its not high quality stuff, but you can often find a clean looking professional outfit for under $100. I bet a shopper would boop you on their membership, or you could buy a day pass

Reply to comment by CollectionOfAtoms78 in Man plays his saxophone through 9-hour, "very, very complex" brain surgery to remove tumor by BitterFuture
The guy is awake but not fully awake, this is similar to practices done in functional neurosurgery. Often times they are not playing superbly, but they do it the entire time the surgeons are working near sensitive areas because the surgeons can hear minor changes in how they play that indicates what they are doing is influencing neural operations. For bathroom, they have a catheter in and they would be on a diet prior to the surgery to prevent bowel moments during the surgery
A lot of times for awake procedures they are just asking questions to track understanding and speech generation, listening to hear a thickening of the voice or incorrect word retrieval. When they do this procedure asleep, sometimes they insert an electrode in the brain and listen to the sound of the electrical activity to hear if they are influencing brain function(though more commonly they use micro electrode recording just to identify the right location in the brain)
Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, I'm an engineer. I just develop tools for functional neurosurgery and observe a lot of neurostimulator placements where they often do stuff like this. Once I saw a guy playing an accordian!
