Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[Mr. Morden]

Uh, Eharding knows who Rochambeau was?

EHarding said he likes to read posting histories and with this, I presume older threads, throughly. For a user who is less than 2 months old, it is kind of strange. Then again, we're talking about a user who just recently made almost 100 posts on March 6th alone, on top of his usual 35 - 50 posts a day. I don't understand how he got so obsessed so quickly.

To be fair, Rochambeau's name has been mentioned several times in comparison to Eharding since the latter joined.  E.g.:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=259259.msg5534553#msg5534553

So it wouldn't have taken any great effort for him to have picked up on this.

I think the way Al once used to decribe Rochambeau fits our new friend too:

A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave; a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service; and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.

I can't read this without being reminded of Lunar's masterpiece:

I might end up heading to San Francisco next month for a period of a few months, potentially to stay in the area long term, though I wouldn't necessarily want to lock myself into long term housing right now, while things remain uncertain.

After having been in Australia for so many years, I've forgotten how to search for apartments in the USA.  I think for my last apartment before leaving for Australia, I was using a site like apartments.com, but maybe I'm misremembering.

For those of you who've done this before, any advice on how to find apartments online, and doing so in a way that filters out lease terms of 1 year+?  I could do a 6 month lease or less, but I don't really get how to specify that in the search terms on any of these websites.  Also, ideally looking for a 1 bedroom apartment with no roommates.  I understand that that's a hideously expensive place to live, and I can afford it, but at the same time, I don't want to end up paying much more than necessary because of not looking in the right places.

Thanks for the apartment hunting tips guys.  Looks like my moving to SF (at least for the next few months, if not beyond that) is now a sure thing, so these suggestions will come in handy.
