That is, probably, the most important video I have ever seen. A 75 year scientific study that can be backed up with hard data. Successful relationships with family and friends is, by far, the most valuable things that we have.

    But it doesn’t help that I live in a conservative area that doesn’t have many intellectual or techy people. I will probably end up driving to a big city for a once or twice a month meeting.

    Soon I will have to be doing the same. It’s a little over an hour drive one way. Do you have any recommendations about how to find an interest group?

      There is a LUG and an Emacs group in a city 1 hr away from where I live. I’ve been on the LUG’s mailing list for a while. I keep an eye out for blog posts from the Emacs meetup. I found out about these groups a long time ago… not sure how. I used to work in that city.

      You could watch the public library event calendar, or even create your own event at the public library and maybe start a new group with regular meetings. I hosted a Linux Installfest in a small town close to where I live. There wasn’t a big enough turn out (only 2). Running the event in a bigger city would probably have been more successful.
