I imagine it would probably suck at least as much being a supercomputer :D

If only there was a way to live in one place and work in another. It'd be like working remotely from home. Could even call it remote work. But naah, that doesn't make any sense. Let's polute the environment and spend outrageous amount of resources to fly across the country for no reason instead

I would think that the money spent on hotel rooms, airfare, and restaurants outstrips the difference in rent.

It did! Holiday seasons got in a way and pricing went through the roof. Late/cancelled flights also did not help, apparently.

I did it for a year between Portland, OR and Chicago. You can tell the real cities by not having to specify the state. ;)

I was in my mid to late 20s and really enjoyed doing it at the time, but I don't think I could do it again. 2 weeks there, 1 week home, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 week, back and forth back and forth.
