[Elmer Fudd]

He moved his shop and left The People's Republik of Kommieforniastan. 

Where did he go?

Gcode, where did you move to?

G-Code moved to Arkansas.

Joe moved his company to Idaho.

G-Code moved to Arkansas.

So we have Joe to thank as well? California just keeps getting better!

[Smit]

Gcode should be very happy in Arkansas. Very few libtards there.

I hope he stays away from the cities. There might be libtard infestations there.

[Bucky Cornstarch]

G is gonna love Arkansas:

Arkansas Education Ranking (2026)
Overall Ranking: Consistently ranked as one of the least educated states in the U.S. (e.g., #47 out of 50 in Feb 2026 Ventura County Star and WalletHub).

California Education Ranking (2026)
Overall Ranking: While not always in the top 10, California typically outperforms Arkansas in educational attainment and is highly ranked for its university system (e.g., UC and CSU systems).

Now wait a damn minute. Is this a war or is this not a war? If it's not a war then "unconditional surrender" isn't a thing, is it?

But it can't be a war because congress didn't declare war. The Repugs say so.

So what the hell is going on?

Live updates: Trump calls for Iran's 'unconditional surrender' as Israel strikes Lebanon

And more good news!

Our old buddy Putin wouldn't do us that way would he?

JUST IN: Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say

[Newbeeee™]

They want a full blown war. Most here think the base that was hit was false flag to get it all going.
Constantly reported worldwide that we're in a warzone here. When we're clearly not as the restaurants are open and many at the beach etc.
Cunts.

A lil bit of history

https://www.cnbc.com/2012/11/01/standard-chartered-close-to-us-settlement-on-iran-transactions.html?

New york regulators concluded in 2012 that standard chartered had schemed with the government of iran for nearly a decade to push through 250 billion in secret transactions reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in fees and leaving the us financial system vulnerable to terrorists, weapons dealers, drug kingpins and corrupt regimes.

[Incogneeto]

Did you happen to read your post, in which you accuse others of having not gotten any Smarter [sic], before you hit send?

Anyway Incog, I stand by my words: it's really great to have you back. I can almost smell the alcohol from here.

You're in the bathroom..... You're smelling the Hand Sanitizer. For the sake of others Please use it. "Lefty" 

That wasn't a political jab. Literally ,wash your left hand. 

[Incogneeto]

  P.S. Bucky I missed you too. I Like Easy Targets.

[CNCAppsJames]

Well hopefully all is well with him and he prospers more wherever he's gone to
 

He's doing well. Skilled labor is tough to find in the area though. That can be said everywhere though. 

We've been looking for an AE for a while. Executive Management decided the candidate needed to live in a certain geographic region in southern Komiefornia so that limited an already REALLY small pool of potential candidates. We had another solid candidate but... but was practically neighbors with our current SoCal AE and traffic in SoCal is so bad, it's 3 hours to make a trip that should only take 90 minutes. So what would be a 10-11 hour day (including travel), is really closer to 13. It's just brutal there. 

I don't miss that place one bit. I miss a few friends, and my oldest son's family, but that's it. I go there for business and to see the grandkids then I GTFO.

G-Code moved to Arkansas.

I hear that Arkansas is brutal in the summer. I guess that is the price you pay to get away from the rat race. I was just in Miami, what a clusterfuck.

I used to spend my summers there as a boy. If you've ever been to Branson, it's like that in the North. Hot and humid but beautiful. In the very far south it's like Hell but with humidity instead of flames.

G-Code moved to Arkansas.

yup been here 2 weeks now

Swapped Riverside County (population 2.6 million)
for Baxter County (pop 43K)
Mountain Home has a population of 13.5k
Things are very laid back here.
First night here, the hot water heater in my new house failed.
I called a plumber the next morning.
The plumber arrived in a half hour and replaced the hot water heater.
I asked him for the bill and he said they'd mail it.

It cost me $86 to register our 2 cars , a '24 Acura and a '24 Mazda.
In SoCal that would have been $1100+.
Property taxes, insurance, electricity, natural gas, water etc are all a fraction
of SoCal rates.
Gas is up from $2.60 to $2.80 since we got here. I'm guessing the jump
is due to events in Iran.
The last gas I bought is SoCal was $5.40

Bottom line, my wife and I worked into our 70's because we could not afford to retire In SoCal.
I had a medical issue last August that forced the issue.

One thing I love about SoCal now that I'm not there is home prices.
I was selling my house to a coworker, but his sister backed out at the last minute.
I turned it over to a young woman from eHomes and she presented me with 24 solid offers
in less than a week. It went into 23 day escrow last week. If all goes well it will close
near the end of March.

So far I love this place.
My neighborhood is so quiet you can hear a pin drop.
Nearly everyone I meet is from Cali, Colorado, Washington or Oregon.

The weather will take some getting used to.
When it rains it freakin' rains, hail too.
In this neighborhood you only see beaters in the driveways, the nice cars are in the garages
so they won't get hail damage.

I'm sure the summers will be brutal, but this house is very well built and I see a new over capacity
A/C unit in it's future.

^^^^ BIG payrise AND you're only 300 miles from Elvis!
