Cold on a Cob posted:they'll pay property tax and use local services Yeah, remote workers are probably a better deal for smaller towns than actual office buildings because people are cheaper than companies and you theoretically get the same local benefits. Pull a bunch of remote workers into your nowheresville and you can probably start attracting bars, restaurants, retail, etc. It makes sense for places that can't afford the kinds of bribes that companies like Amazon demand. My city has tons of corporate offices and the local government has still been going pretty hard on attracting remote workers here for the last year or two.

All of the remote workers I know including me are only using fewer amenities over time because things like going out to eat is outrageously expensive and then they default you to a 25% tip while the portions and quality go down. Wife and I ate at a breakfast place last weekend where the lowest selectable tip was 22% and the default one was 26%. we aren’t going back. I know you can click Custom while the waitress stares you down but gently caress that. They are free to gaze disapprovingly while I custom select a measly 20% tip and I’m free to never go there again. I’m a good cook and holy poo poo has that paid dividends lately… There’s a restaurant near us that has a sign on the window that a 25% tip is rude, you cannot make this poo poo up. The sign implies you should tip 32%. We have maintained our diet of high quality food, but only at the expense of eating out about 90% less. I honestly don’t even understand who is regularly eating out these days or otherwise utilizing all of these services. We can’t afford it and we both make figgies and have no kids.  Is everyone just putting this poo poo on credit cards? It’s loving bewildering. e: btw the shiitakes from Costco 12 vs 16oz thing has rocked us to our core, is nothing sacred. that was the only place to get reasonably priced shiitakes

Only certain towns have a chance of pulling it off. You need to have a base level of services (e.g. high speed internet) and amenities (e.g. shopping that isn't walmart) and you need to be within driving distance of a larger city with an airport.

Indiana mentioned!goth smoking cloves posted:There are way worse places you could end up than Noblesville IMHO Yeah it's part of the Indianapolis sprawl, which isn't like a bastion of culture but it's a basically acceptable medium sized city and socially liberal enough for Californians. Orvin posted:Lake County I used to work for the Town of Munster and during my tenure, there was a big plan to build a massive park and golf course out of the city dump. They shut down garbage disposal, covered the trash with dirt, and waited about 3 years out of the recommended 10 before building on top of it. So a couple years later the clubhouse started sinking into the garbage. It's a metaphor for America.

SKULL.GIF posted:How's that any different than living somewhere where doing things is insanely expensive? The thing that kills me about this is that even flyover suburbs have axe throwing and microbreweries now, you don't have to live in Austin/Denver/Seattle/Portland/NYC/LA/etc to have basic entertaining things to do or basic good places to eat The main reason to live in these places is because you're in the top 1% of your field and can compete in those job markets at the top. If you're just frequently bored, they have trendy bars and stores that just sell board games even in places like Omaha and Des Moines Cool people and fun entertainment are universal amenities in any place with more than 50000 residents

cool av posted:same thing happened to my partner and i was shocked that “thing not healing despite putting neosporin on it every day” didn’t intuitively lead her to “maybe stop putting neosporin on it”! I never had any problems with neosporin before, and the inflammation looked exactly like the time it got infected before. who the gently caress expects to develop a new allergy at 40? I thought it might have been the bandaids because the fabric ones have some horrible glue that rips all my leg hair out but the lovely ones that fall off after 6 hours didn't help, and I went to the doctor before I got around to self patch testing antibiotics.

I have known people who were completely obsessed with paying the lowest taxes possible to the exclusion of all else, one of them lived in Tennessee in some godforsaken holler and was forced to move back to PA for family stuff and he never shut the gently caress up about how low the taxes in Tennessee were and how much he misses them.

euphronius posted:if you are white there are indeed a lot of cool places to live in non urban America I live in a medium sized town in the great plains and our community is more diverse than most of the top places to live in the United States. You can gauge how good a community is for nonwhites just by looking at census data and by these metrics I would argue that Seattle and SF are pretty loving bad places to live if you're not white

I went to Costco and got 3 racks of Ribs for $32. I made said rack of ribs yesterday, now I have a ton of ribs left over for the week. I would say I'm doing pretty good boys. ATH's and all time delicious ribs!

With how expensive bbq is, you can just about buy a smoker for the cost of a single family dinner You can get baby backs for five dollars a rack where I live, which is pretty dang cheap. I can cook four racks, charcoal and wood chunks included, for the cost of a single rack of ribs at most restaurants. They're about the easiest thing to cook in the world too. It's all about time with smoking, you just throw some wood on now and again and wait it out and you're done

Engorged Pedipalps posted:With how expensive bbq is, you can just about buy a smoker for the cost of a single family dinner That's pretty much what I've been doing on more of my lazy days off. It reminds me of phases that people go through with crock pot cooking, where you can get a large meal that tastes pretty good with maybe ~30min to an hour of morning prep, then in 8 hours you have a meal ready.
