If you're into music there's way more to do in Nashville than KC. Everything else seems about equal.

My company has a six week limit to working internationally. I think you could just not tell anyone if you have a permanent US address though.

Bigger nerds than me would need to confirm this, but I think you'd need to get a good reliable US based VPN to make it seem like you were in the US.

I don't think I've worked for anyone sophisticated enough or that would care enough to actually check

[Phil Titola]

yeah totally depends on the company/industry.  Small enough employer or a large enough with a worldwide presence you'd be good to go.

Working from home may limit your opportunities to make friends and socialize in a new place.  I would have a plan for that wherever you go.

I would assume in todays times a companies security department would lose their collective minds if they found an unauthorized vpn client installed on a company owned laptop (if you could even get admin privileges on the laptop).

You’d be better off just being up front about it.
There is the option to install a vpn client on your router, but that’s not the simplest task. 

*You may be able to use VPN (like nordVPN) on your phone, enable wifi hotspot and connect your computer that way. Ive not tested to confirm, but it should work that way.

All in all your more likely to get busted by your video background or saying something that gives your location away to your boss, than you ever would by an internal network dept.

Nashville seems like maybe the most annoying city in the USA tbh

Branson would like a word

branson is authentic in what it is. that may not be your or my thing but you gotta respect it.

My favorite quote about Branson is "Imagine if Ned Flanders created Vegas"

So in Feb of this year I signed a 15 month lease for my apt. I just called to see what my contract breaking fee would be and when the actually date of the end of my contract was. There were some issues when I signed it in Feb but apparently it executed it as a 12 month contract that ends in Feb. This is actually a really good error and gives me a ton of options on what I'm going to do.

Don't get me wrong I love KC. I just wish it didn't have the winters and had a few other things.

man i tell you what i'd do i'd go set up shop in one of those mountain towns. I realize this is not ideal for you with your disdain for the cold but the hiking in the warmer months would be incredible. Added bonus of when you come back down to sea level you'd be like a god among men with all the (relative) extra oxygen you have at your avail

[mocat]

i would absolutely live in Leadville CO if i could live anywhere and remote 100% of the time

Is this about Leadville itself or Leadville's proximity to other things?

My wife's disdain moved us away from this but you're 100% spot on.  That altitude makes you a championship drinker at sea level.

why leadville?


that's some pretty serious elevation for that far north.

[star seed 7]

College town with easy access to San Antonio? The obvious answer is Waco.

it's both! amazing location and proximity to things, with less insufferable rich people like in Aspen or Telluride. and it's not a ski town with annoying Jerry's like Breckenridge or Copper or any of the other ski towns along I-70. it's just enough out of the way, but not super hard to get to like Lake City or Silverton. it's also not a boring flatland like Buena Vista or Gunnison. There are probably others that meet all these criteria but it's #1 for me. Crested Butte is up there but it's significantly more isolated (it takes like 5 hours to get to denver from there, and it's at the end of a dead end road 9 months out of the year).
also i would have the most elite Mellie collection

[mocat]

also idk if you guys have ever been to Ouray or any of those wealthier mountain towns in the southern part of CO, but it's like an all you can see buffet of Texas license plates on Jeep'd out Jeeps. i would be so resentful all summer 

[sys]

yeah, can see the location/logistics and the density of rich people arguments.

[IPA4Me]

I can't see living at those temperatures in the winter. It's is damn cold up there.

yeah but it's a dry cold

I'd like to consider moving to the Roaring Fork Valley someday. I even follow the local news there. It can be a real treat!

Just booked an AirBnB in San Antonio for 6 weeks starting the end of January! 

Either lots of stuff was already booked or something because it was trashy super cheap or mega expensive. I ended up getting a 3 bedroom house for $3k for the 6 weeks.

LMAO

Hockey players objected to the suspension, saying they felt singled out due to a COVID-19 outbreak in November that has been called the largest outbreak in the county since March 2020.

[mocat]

there are no winners in the city of Aspen vs maga hockey league battle

I lived in a town that would hit -35 or so some mornings out of the year.  Of course it's cold but I really couldn't tell any meaningful difference between -35 and 0.  It's just cold so bundle up and stay out of it as much as possible.
