Gorgeous, safe and this city understands growth….. unlike Vegas, which is a mess, has shootings everywhere and seems to be the current landing spot for 50% of the California transplants. I am missing th food options in Vegas, but it’s only a 2 hour drive, so I head back to my bills bar for every bills game Agreed on this... I still live in Vegas, but we head to Utah all the time to get away Quote

Naked City Pizza (the kitchen inside the bar) moved to the Office bar over by UNLV but they kept a similar menu and the food is good. Wings and pizza are on point. Pbr on tap too! 🍻 1 Quote

I had a marketing director (salesman, he one only one in marketing) move the release of X-Master, an X Windows benchmarking tool, to end of August because customer requirement so my team needed to work extra hours. I had conversation with customer and he told me the hardware would not be received until October and he did not want software early. I found out that it was a way for him to get a bonus and surprised him in meeting when he told company president that software would be done by end of August telling him customer told me he did not want software yet. The president then knew he was moving dates to make more money. Quote

That might have something to do with it https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/522/20240222-two-x-class-solar-flares-only-7-hours-apart.html For those who have never heard about it look into the Carrington Event. Massive solar storm that took out telegraphs and had an Aurora that was visible in the tropics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event Now imagine what that would do to our Society today when that happens again Depends on how long the electrical outages lasted. But I don't think there would be total outages everywhere. It probably wouldn't be that bad. Quote
