Pacific Northwest is TOTALLY easy to move to! Our winters are mild! Our beers are plentiful! COME TO US!

Is it possible to get a senior-ish software engineer job there or is the talent pool too flooded, like in Portland?

Cereal: since now I'm idly looking at Seattle CL, any thoughts on neighborhoods for a dorky couple who values diversity and loves beer and doesn't have kids so they don't care about whatever school district they're in?

Also, question: are there black people in Seattle? Or Cincinnati? I would like to live somewhere that doesn't have a decidedly monochromatic pale color in its citizens.

Edit: of course I know there are people of different ethnicities everywhere - I just feel weird when I am in a place too long that's super white (see: New Hampshire, Portland.)

lazily sluggish

I think I know what my result would be.

Melancholic

Your temperament is melancholic. The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.

Not by a landslide, though. In the little bar graph of the results, they all look pretty close to me, although the melancholic bar is clearly the longest (2nd phlegmatic, 3rd sanguine, and 4th choleric). What humor would that be too much of?

I'd've guessed I was more water than earth as far as elements go. That's how I usually come up in woo-woo elemental whatevers.

Cincinnati can be uniformly white depending on what part you live/work/play in, but it can also be pretty diverse. Again, Northside is really diverse. I don't know how OTR is shaking out these days.

Right on. Thanks!

My company has an office in Kirkland, IJS.

I also got melancholic, which I knew. Second place to sanguine.

Not especially sorry about or around Scalia's death. Except for RBG. Sad she lost a friend, even if he was evil. Great Greenwald article on the misplaced etiquette of respecting the dead. [link] My favorite part:

This demand for respectful silence in the wake of a public figure's death is not just misguided but dangerous. That one should not speak ill of the dead is arguably appropriate when a private person dies, but it is wildly inappropriate for the death of a controversial public figure, particularly one who wielded significant influence and political power....

But the key point is this: those who admire the deceased public figure (and their politics) aren't silent at all. They are aggressively exploiting the emotions generated by the person's death to create hagiography...Those gushing depictions can be quite consequential, as it was for the week-long tidal wave of unbroken reverence that was heaped on Ronald Reagan upon his death, an episode that to this day shapes how Americans view him and the political ideas he symbolized. Demanding that no criticisms be voiced to counter that hagiography is to enable false history and a propagandistic whitewashing of bad acts, distortions that become quickly ossified and then endure by virtue of no opposition and the powerful emotions created by death. When a political leader dies, it is irresponsible in the extreme to demand that only praise be permitted but not criticisms.

When my sister visited, she said that she was surprised at the diversity -- she'd expected black people and white people, and was surprised that there were lots of other groups, too.
