I currently live out of state but maintain my plug list subscription because
I graduated from PSU with a CS degree in 2014.  Unfortunately, the
town I'm in now is practically dead for anyone who doesn't have experience in
programming/IT.  I'm working for very little and not doing computer science
very much.  If I could get my brother's pick and place QSP-2 running though,
I could program circuits for him helping him fullfil a contract.

I hear that San Francisco isn't any better than Portland when it comes to
homelessness.  Homeless are people first and foremost and deserving of respect
as such despite their lack of an address to call home.
