@WideEyedCurious @jessie Sometimes it makes sense. "Remote in $list_of_states" because they're only set up to pay taxes in those states, ok.

Sometimes "Remote everywhere except $list_of_states" because some places, like Ohio, have weird rules for Workers Comp or Unemployment that makes it a PITA to manage. Ok, fine.

Then there's bullshit like this. "This role is primarily remote, with rare onsite requirements. Candidates must be local to the DC Metro area and available to attend in-person meetings in Washington, DC as needed."

@gsuberland @arichtman Dude. That's back when I was on a team that did forensics work. If was a fucking nightmare.

We had a literal tackle box for all the dumbass cables. Every so often we'd buy a new drawer full of cables.

@xabean Context: I first read the Silo around 2014-2015 and was super stoked for the TV series.

The show is _very_ much an "inspired by" situation. The overarching plot points are the same, the setting is similar enough to be the same, most of the characters exist and fit in the same holes. But the show is different enough that I'm still interested to see what happens.

All that to say, that it's "probably" safe to start reading if the itch gets strong enough and you can compartmentalize the mediums.

If you want to hold off then look at Howey's other works. Beacon 23 was interesting, and much better than the show. Or the Sand Chronicles.

@mactunag Huh. Today I learned that the entire population is _barely_ more than the suburb that I live in. And is also about 6,700 times larger area (habitable zone).

Are you saying that Inverness struggles to manage and support the Highlands council area?
