My hometown. From what I heard, an engineer wanted to move home and started a small remote office there. I think the office is moving to Edmonton.

Who da hell wants to move BACK to Edmonton ?

  I'd consider moving back there for this job, I like Edmonton, I have many friends there still, and my family is there. And I like Rust. But I don't like the current provincial gov't and I'd have a hard time convincing my wife to leave her family behind here. Edmonton has awful winters, but it has a beautiful river valley, decent arts scene, and good local culture. Summers are nice there. I hated much about it when I lived there in my teens and early 20s but enjoy going back to visit now.

        There don't seem to be any other gasthem_n users.

        No, on HN I usually just type something related to whatever is on my mind at the time. No prizes for guessing what it was this time.

        In this case we've banned the account because you can't have a trollish username. Those end up trolling every thread the account posts to. In other cases it's probably because your new accounts are breaking the site guidelines. If you're sincere about wanting to use HN as intended, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look into it for you and be happy to help. But could you please not create accounts to break the site guidelines with?
