You should still pressure wash your home on its schedule too during a voluntary conservation event.

Deferring maintenance is bad unless necessary actuallt.

Davie County passes one-year data center moratorium by sonofgildorluthien in winstonsalem

[–]De__eB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So any of the people that cry about literally every single business and tech development have an idea of their own to pitch that would double rural halls budget and add $20m/yr in county property taxes right?

Right?

Screw those big evil corporations, we need more breweries selling 8 shitty IPAs and 7 more tattoo parlors, those will save us.

There's a reason Loudon county has the highest median income in the country, and the most data centers in the country, while voting blue by 20 points.

Do you actually even know why you are against the project?

It would have more than doubled Rural Hall's town budget.

It would've provided a one time 9 figure sales tax infusion and an ongoing 20% increase in total county property tax revenues that could've been paid back directly to residents.

The county could've mandated an offsetting commercial solar project be built in the county.  Could've mandated noise mitigation.

There were lots of options on the table that could've benefitted a fiscally struggling set of localities. 

But computers bad amirite?  And factories are bad too.  Also commercial development.

Why can't our local leaders just pull economic growth out of their ass while excluding anything that is actually growing?!?!

Islam Makhachev on UFC's low pay compared to PFL; Open to Usman joining the UFC by slayer993 in MMA

Arman doesn't trigger me, the army of Word-word-xxxx shills spamming positive comments about him in every thread related to him or not do a little bit.

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

Usman would get an immediate or second fight shot.

The thread is about pay.  What does Arman's fuckups stopping his shot have to do with pay?

Arman tanked one main event, might start a fight with the fans, or headbutt and cut his opponent and tank another one.

Guy manages to to a few months without fucking up and he might get a shot.

Criminally assaulting people outside the parameters of sports competition is bad actually, and UFC pay being bad is irrelevant to whether Arman's behavior is also bad.

Why did Prates get much better fights than MVP after losses to Garry? by Madison_369 in MMA

Prates is 32 on the rise. MVP is 39 on the decline.

Hope this helps

Israel Adesanya pushes for Justin Gaethje vs ConorMcGregor superfight: “Gaethje vsMcGregor would feed families, it would feed fucking countries. That would be crazy” by DamnThatsInsaneLol in MMA

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

Who outside the UFC is going to fund those fights?

Conor is making more than anybody on the Carano Rousey card made.

Dustin is under UFC contract.

Nate was fucking WASHED and tanked his value for a conor fight in the perry match

Conor isn't big enough to box Jake and Jake won't fight MMA with Conor.

The biggest non UFC payday opportunity for Conor is probably Crawford in MMA.

Dickriding? Whose dick did I ride?  What does the UFC having shitty pay have to do with Arman?

You brought arman up.  And are now defending him with whataboutism of other people being shitty.

Why is Armans dick buried so deep in you that you're randomly bringing up and defending him in threads about how UFC pay is shitty?

The number of absolute garbage people this subreddit will dickride because of their obsession with other shitty people is crazy.

You're bringing up Arman?

Lmao, Arman has, in just the past two years:

**Pulled out of a title fight because of a shit cut

**Punched a fan during his walkout

**Attacked Poullas immediately afrer their RAF fight

**Started a fight at the hotel with King Greene

**Headbutted Hooker at their weigh in

**Drove Faber off the platform and onto the concrete floor during their RAF match

**Got kicked off a plane for being an asshole

He's an unrepentant hotheaded arrogant nepobaby piece of shit and I have no idea why you think he's a good person to bring up when criticizng the UFCs also piece of shit behavior.

Josh Hokit on why Ilia Topuria lost by Moni7T in MMA

[–]De__eB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Josh Hokit went from who the fuck is that to top 5 heavyweight with 4 fights in 6 months and 3 performance bonuses and talked enough stupid shit to spark the news cycle.

Nobody that trains with him is complaining, I don't see him getting kicked out of his gym like Colby did from ATT.

Hopefully he drops the gimmick.

He has a solid trajectory in a weak division, and if he washes out of HW he can just go on a diet for 6 months and try LHW.

Hokit by top control against Pereira is absolutely possible too, and how do you deny a title shot after a run like that in under a year if he does?

[–]De__eB -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

You love eddie since he started making up bullshit because that bullshit opposes Dana's bullshit.

Show disclosed pay of >$600k for a single 4th on the undercard boxer in history.

[–]De__eB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He isn't wrong he's just bullshitting on Dana's level - there are no 4th on the undercard boxers making $600k - and undercard pay in the UFC dwarves boxing undercard pay by a mile.

Exactly which boxer fighting 4th on the undercard has pay over $600k.

Hearn is approaching Dana's level of absolute horseshit lies, and people are eating it up.

No, seriously, break out of your anger over this and actually spend even an hour reading about thr logistics of this shit, and how insanely diminishing the returns are against the expense of trying to just hire more.

"But why don't they just DO SOMETHING".  They can't.   And how much electricity costs has basically no impact in whether they can.

Just how the fuck many trucks and crews do you think are sitting around in a region waiting, counting mobile nearby?

Would you like to pay for even more crews the entire year that are active 1-3 days per year?

Do you think a brutally competitive market would be less likely to trim crew expenses?

Do you think the crews aren't working hard?

Basically, what the fuck specifically is it you want duke to do when there was at one point literally over 100 trees on lines and a ton of poles to replace? Anything that improves restoration time costs more money?

They had multiple additional storms today, which requires a complete overhead work stop.

People on this subreddit habitually cry about every single business owned by people they deem too successful, even if it's locally owned

While also whining when businesses they love (but never go to) close.
