well, I have 2 email addresses, one gmail, the other, yep, hotmail 😁oldie but goodie; have had it for years!!
In-N-Out Burger (the rest of the story):
We’re not moving In-N-Out Burger’s corporate headquarters. In addition to our Baldwin Park office, we’re expanding with an Eastern Territory office in Tennessee to support our growth.
We’re not leaving California, or leaving our roots behind. Each one of our locations is here to stay.
Moving into TN provides our In-N-Out Associates wonderful opportunities to buy a home and raise a family and be a part of our expansion in a different part of the US.
Where I raise my family has nothing to do with my love and appreciation for our Customers in California.
The majority of workers at the Irvine office would work in Baldwin Park or relocate to Tennessee.
The burger chain has aimed to close its Irvine office in 2029, but Snyder said on the podcast she’s given staff a “longer runway” to plan for the changes. The new goal is for the closure to happen by 2030.
In-N-Out heiress says she closed Oakland location because it was ‘absolutely dangerous’
In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder specifically mentioned the challenges of living in California, particularly the high cost of housing, which makes it difficult for employees to buy homes and raise families
Tennessee offers a more attractive business environment with lower taxes and fewer regulatory hurdles, making it easier to operate and expand the company

Austin, Houston, Dallas, and McAllen are among the top 25 cities in the U.S. offering a high quality of life, according to a newly released ranking by U.S. News & World Report. The study examined factors such as climate, affordability, entertainment, and green spaces.
With a burgeoning tech sector and a plethora of live music options, Austin is No. 13 on the list. Its air quality is in the top 5% of U.S. metros, and it offers nearly 20,000 acres of outdoor recreational space.
At No. 15, Houston boasts over 10,000 restaurants, including Tex-Mex, Vietnamese, barbecue, and Louisiana-Creole cuisine. It’s in the top 20% of cities in affordability, with a median home value of $276,828. It’s also No. 5 in access to health care.
Likewise, Dallas, No. 20, is in the top 5% of cities for health care access, and its median home value of $337,445 is lower than similarly sized cities. At No. 23, McAllen boasts year-round sunshine and the ninth-lowest cost of living.
Remember when you had to be “invited” to join gmail?
I volunteer at an org where the guest profiles are searched for by the email address originally used to set up the profile. I’d estimate that half our guests have that puzzled “which email address did I use 20 years ago when I set up this profile ?” look on their faces when they attempt to access their profile. Sometimes there’s an interesting story about that long ago and almost forgotten email addy ….
I have two Hotmail addresses and two Google addresses, they all serve different purposes. I have had other emails in the past but the services closed down and those emails evaporated.
I will admit that I have a Hotmail and a Gmail account with the same name on it. Those were my job hunting emails. I was quite happy with the Hotmail one but then Hotmail went out of fashion so I had to add the Gmail one. Don’t use the Hotmail one much any more but it is still active.
Lots of company emails, personal domains, etc. Also some smaller ISPs ... I am not looking at the list offhand but roadrunner, AT&T, Verizon, Rogers up in Canada, etc.
First email address was attached to our ISP. Too long ago to remember that one. Later it was moved to our cable provider(morrisbb.net)and then my son, who had bought a few domaine names very early in the game, set our family members plus friends who wanted to participate, up a .net tag that was attached to his server and run through a professional and very secure gmail account. That’s my main email address although over the years I’ve generated others for various reasons. I’m happy as long as I get Bill’s newsletter.
With the destruction of FEMA, living anywhere near a hurricane zone will probably get prohibitive quickly.
Loved the bit about the meteor. That’s quite a chunk of star stuff.
I kinda regret using email addresses tied to our ISPs as those emails are lost forever. We didn't understand what Hotmail was offering back then. We were told that our providers had more secure email, & we did get a lot of spam from Hotmail accounts that had been hacked, spewing porn & viruses to contact lists.

Regarding your email users, my rough estimate of your email users percents comes to about 80%. What makes up the other 20%?

@Bill Murphy Jr., What about rocketmail.com? Remember them? Were they first, before Hotmail? Check the facts for us?

Don’t forget the consumer protection agency or the dept of education!
Yes, I know. I read about it. Along with everything else though it got inundated.
