Handful of townhouses for sale. Cheapest is $225k for 2 beds/1 bath, 1100 sq.ft. The others for sale are about 20k more expensive and are bigger (and there are some that are $$$).

One of the older (60s?) homes in the area is for sale $525k. It's 3 bed/3 baths, 2100 sq.ft. and an ingroind heated pool and half an acre. This is far too cheap for the area so it might be a divorce or something.

Most lots go for about 400k and other houses are 600k. This is in one of the big upper middle class suburbs in the Midwest

It's more like "you haven't earned the right to have other people keep you alive". I daresay it's related to how, after 40ish years of working and raising a family and being a good citizen you can retire and have the bar for "staying alive" set a lot lower for most.

Maybe out in a limb here but, I think industry and aviation are two of the areas that should be able to use fossil fuels longer than others. Their energy expenditure is huge, yes, but the scientific advancement that is necessary to make them zero carbon are still quite a ways in the future.

Just read this on Wikipedia. It's great!

On 15 March 2021, Magnus Carlsen, playing white, led with the Bongcloud in a game against Nakamura at the Magnus Carlsen Invitational. Nakamura mirrored the opening with 2...Ke7, leading to a position nicknamed the Double Bongcloud.[2] The game was intentionally drawn by threefold repetition after the players immediately repeated moves, the particular sequence they used known as the "Hotbox Variation".

Fairfield County somewhere? Or maybe Sonoma or Bakersfield?

The truly rich live even differently. They have trusts, of course, but their personal expenses are paid for by their personal non-profit charities that provide an allowance to them that's managed by a family office and full time controller/money-babysitter who is also the family's fixer and consigliare. Additional big purchases live private jet airfare and shopping sprees are paid for by an amex the controller just pays off.

Lizardfolk Fighter. Meh. Though I guess there's a Lizardfolk Cleric I quite like.

Fun fact, that traverse gap separates the red river of the north from the MINNESOTA river - which eventually drains into the Mississippi. The Mississippi starts at Lake Itasca.

Fun fact #2, the Minnesota/Mississipi drains into the Atlantic via the Gulf, but the red river eventually drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Hudson Bay!

Not really. 1 or 2 promotions. Can't forget lead architect, senior lead, principal architect, senior principal architect, distinguished architect, senior distinguished architect, and architecture fellow.

I am doing the best out of all my siblings, so none of them. But if I had to I'd swap with my brother cause his wife is hot.

Yessss. One of the first songs I introduced my children to!

 

Like the title says. I have some decent work shoes and decent athletic shoes, but I need to be able to dress down without looking like I'm going to the gym.
