That's a shame but totally understandable. I hope we return to something sane before they destroy the parks for drilling or logging or whatever. The national park service really has some amazing natural resources.
If 2020 Portland was any indication, you're not going to get answers even if they are "legitimate".
Yeah, I honestly don't know how we come back from this level of radicalization without some form of conflict. If we're going to Balkanize, hopefully it can be done without bloodshed, but…

Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I'd ever been to "Scranton" and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.
Can the PNW join you, and thence the EU? You can give up Alberta if it makes it any easier?

Same thing happens to me where I'll start emulating local accents. The result is no one can accurately guess where I'm from, even people from my own country. The general answer is "northern Europe" but not from the country of whomever is guessing. But it's the same reason… something is up with my accent, but no one is able to place it.
Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.
While I would be open to a trade, I'd be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I'd like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?
But it worked so well in the 90s! Any year now it's bound to pay off!
