Through Episode 6, they've referenced concerts at two different venues where I've seen Phish: Hollywood Bowl and Jones Beach.

I also think a lot about what if it happened two hours later when people were out for lunch and the falling bricks hit more people in Pioneer Square or what happens if it weren't a very dry winter and the quake caused mudslides
We got so lucky!
...I think a lot about what happens if the quake is the night of 2/24 instead of late morning of 2/28 and what the panic would have been like trying to run down that long staircase.

So there used to be an informal venue in Seattle called the Loft. It was an ADA nightmare, with the only entrance being up and down one flight of stairs.
4 days prior, most of my friends were at a party there (I was tired and blew it off). During Nisqually the false ceiling fell...
I was probably in the safest place ever, running an errand at the Redmond end of 520. I thought I had 4 flat tires because the car was shaking so much. I stopped, walked around the car, and realized the ground was still shaking.

The difference between a Vic20 and a 486 was immense. From a 2006 MacBook to a 2026? Youβd largely have to read the specs.
Techies never believe that growth curves stop but they usually do. Iβve read so many appeals to eternal growth that I bounce hard off of them.
One thing I was thinking about on my flight is that the history of the 21st century is exponential progress that suddenly stopped being that.

We asked someone about these birds earlier and their cactus wrens. The way that he was making noise but flew away when I wanted to catch a photo made me call him an in flew wren, sir.
