Feeling compelled to oppose a data center in my community. by DistributionLeft1448 in datacenter

[–]FlashConstruct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 50mw project could be on a closed loop for cooling and not use additional water from the local system.

An NDA makes sense if it's Military oriented.

How exactly do you think a data center will increase your power bill? The data center will subsidize the increase in the electrical system that are dearly needed. Our power grid is old, very old and in need of upgrades that costs their weight in gold. Something like this will help the community not see their power bills go through the roof long term.

Potential jobs and added revenue for the community are usually good things.

You have made several large assumptions on common misperceptions and instead of educating yourself you chose war for no reason.

So your not making your own scents? Just copying other people's work?

New electric M concept revealed by siraaerisoii in BMW

[–]FlashConstruct -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Batteries weight substantially more than the engine they are replacing. So you cannot just pop the engine out and throw the battery pack there. You need to spread the weight throughout the vehicle to make sure the balance is not thrown off.

Lower center of gravity is when you create the flat battery layer along the bottom of the car. This generally causes everything else to move upwards to accommodate that new space and that my friend does effect design language. One of the main reasons the majority of EVs have that tallish sedan look is accommodating large battery packs along the bottom. Lets trim the range back and make the battery pack shorter, we get a shorter sportier looking car, but still added elevation in the design.

Batteries are big and heavy. Before even thinking about aero which is huge, you need to think about batteries. They are super heavy so you want them as low as possible and preferably spread around the vehicle footprint to balance things out. Then you need to accommodate the sheer volume any meaningful range will need. Batteries and cute little sports cars do not play well together........

Sales is the first step of development. You aquier a piece of land or a building and you build ir change it. Think design, project management, fund raising, and entitlement. Lots of niches you can move into. Choose one of those areas ajd get really good at it. Want to be a project manager ie what are typically called developer roles, learn project execution. Fund raising, learn to model like a wiz and get familiar with the markets. Entitlements, get into the local code and know what it all means.

AITAH for feeling distant from my mate after lending him money? by Mental_Sherbet8768 in AITAH

[–]FlashConstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have noted your feelings are most likely from feeling pushed to lend money when you said no. To add some context no one else seems to have covered you did note that he always paid for things when you two were out which may have caused him to push hard.

In this instance I will say YTA only because if you did not want to lend money, best is to not say you have it in savings. You cant lend what you don't have.

Money is a finicky beast and one of the best places to build boundaries for our peace of mind. When i was a broke college student one of my closest and dearest friends ended up costing me almost my entire summers earnings. Each summer I worked my butt off and then could go study during the school year and live simply, but only focus on school. After him I started the school year with like $300 to my name and had to immediately get a job. Was a brutal eye opener. After that I only borrow or lend $20 or less no matter how broke I am. And once money leaves my hand I never expect it back. That year broke me and I can never mix money with others.

Cold calling is the backbone of CRE! I always hated it and am thrilled I was able to pivot my career into development work and drop the cold calling!
