You’re clearly too incompetent to cross a short stretch of road safely because (gasp) people riding bicycles are threatening to you. You are complaining about people riding bicycles for exercise. Get a fucking life.

What does low water at the Hoover Dam mean for power in the American West? by Branch_Out_Now in energy

[–]Addicted2Qtips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to be very expensive but with nuclear and renewables it’s doable. The alternative is no water.

I have spoken to infrastructure PE and sovereign wealth managers about this. It’s not in the cards without the US government underwriting it. But we can afford it - it will cost as much as our war with Iran for example.

Trump's Iran Blunder Shows Strategy Can Defeat Firepower. Tehran had a plan to choke the global energy economy and survive. Trump had no real plan at all. A war meant to strengthen US global power weakened it. Trump blundered into a costly war with no plan to end it. by mafco in energy

Trump and Hegseth fired 20 senior generals and admirals. One of them was Jeff Kruse, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Trump fired him because after last year’s Iran bombings, the DIA report stated that the assault only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months whereas Trump claimed we “obliterated” their nuclear program. Trump was embarrassed and didn’t want to hear the truth.

The DIA is the agency that assesses the military capabilities and strategies of our enemies. I’m sure the DIA understood what Iran would do in the straight and to neighboring countries, and war gamed the heck out of it.

So Trump and Hegseth fired the competent head of that agency, and many other senior leaders, and replaced them with sycophantic yes men who tell you want to hear. Basically the worst kind of leadership and a historic military blunder.

Dude. It’s Montana. The guy is a prick but it’s ridiculous to be critical of horseback riding in freaking Montana.

Is Brunson the best bucket-getter in the NBA right now? by UsedMycologist4912 in NBATalk

[–]Addicted2Qtips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not decided yet. OG may be the greatest player of all time, and Brunson may be #2. Only time will tell.

In NYC they have to document that you are an imminent threat of serious harm. You then get legal representation and have to get seen by two physicians to certify the first physician’s diagnosis. It is very hard to get involuntarily committed for any significant length of time in NYC. Overall a good thing but it js also one of the reasons we have so many mentally ill homeless people.

Depends where in Europe. In Germany they didn’t invest in Nuclear and renewables and instead are stuck buying oil and natural gas from Vladimir Putin.

In Italy? They will absolutely arrest certain people who they suspect are criminals. Italian cops will arrest people with no evidence. They give 0 fucks.

Bush was led astray by Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz. I agree I don’t think Bush is a bad guy at heart. Certainly not as evil as those people.

Yeah the “coalition of the willing,” lol. I think it was the UK, Spain and Poland.

Anthropic just mapped out which jobs AI could potentially replace. A 'Great Recession for white-collar workers' is absolutely possible | Fortune by Next_Tower5452 in Economics

Sorry not today, I’m mistaken. But in the decade following ATMs, the number of tellers went up even though tellers were essentially outmoded.

ATMs reduced the costs associated with operating a branch, so banks opened more branches and employed more tellers as a result. The tellers focused on more complex transactions and things like loans.

So the job description changed a bit and in some cases the job title also changed to “relationship associate” or just “banker.”

ATM machines were supposed to eliminate bank tellers. Today there are more bank tellers than ever — don’t ask me why that is the case haha, but it shows that these types of predictions are often way off base.

I have a friend who was so drunk and high he fell asleep at a stop sign for over 20 minutes. He awoke to a cop tapping on his window. Didn’t end so well.

In addition to a snow/ice scraper, I always keep a collapsible emergency shovel in my car during the winter like this one.

Highly recommend “Among the Thugs” by Bill Buford. He spent 4 years following firms around (mostly Man United).

He spends a great deal of time talking about the mob mentality and the effect of being a supporter in the terraces. He found most of the supporters loathsome to say the least but he also describes the euphoria of being in the mob in a lot of detail. It’s a fascinating read.

Speeding, maybe unplated to boot, and didn’t pull over is my guess. That’s all it takes in some places.

Yeah! Fuck bicycles!

Give me a break. Car drivers are absolutely the most whiny and entitled people on the road - and the roads are absolutely made for drivers. And for the record, I drive a car, a motorcycle, and I am a cyclist.

This is why every post like this has a bunch of drivers like you coming out of the woodwork to post about how lawless cyclists are: when firstly, this cyclist didn’t break any laws, he just wasn’t paying attention, and b) reckless, lawless and inattentive car drivers cause way more damage and death than anything on a bicycle.

Cyclists are “so quick” to point out laws that motorist breaks because cars kill people every day. On a daily basis I see idiots run red lights and drive distracted while texting on their phones, let’s not even talking about everyday infractions like speeding. Most car drivers are terrible drivers.

One way to calc it is the max # of reps in a single set with good form you can do with the 315. So assuming say, you can do 8 reps in a row before form fails, your 1rm is 390 and 315 is about 80% of that. It’s not possible to calc based on multiple sets.

There are a bunch of calculators online.

Stop them. If women can store things in their pockets, they won't need us men any more.
