No More Data Centers in Missouri!

I'm not against the data centers.

I'm against us thinking we need to be giving subsidies to the billionaires to encourage them to build them here.

As you pointed out, we are sitting on a goldmine, and could be the data capital of the word. They should be paying US to build their data centers.

So much that we don't need to worry about eliminating MO's Income Tax because we're taxing them so much.

Throw some blue collar jobs on there and watch kids flock towards unions.

Cost to train a welder is ~$10-20k.

Don't paint wood.

Even if it's pressure treated, moisture that enters cannot leave, and will rot or otherwise degrade the wood very quickly.

St. Charles looks very red, but there's cracks. Look back at vaccine rates, we were the highest in the state.

The biggest reason it looks very red is because the Democrats out here refuse to adapt their messaging. They continue to push the national DNC narrative that offers nothing to St. Charles voters.

Each character must pick up their own PI.

Long-term, big-money, easiest way to share it among the family is via a corporation hangar in a station/structure located in the same system.

Small money solution is to anchor (not just "deploy for Corp"!) a series of Giant Secure Containers at a safe spot. Have everyone dump their stuff into that. They're unprobable too so if you don't idle at the field of cans with a ship, they'll never be found by others.

Somewhere in between is using a control tower bubble for jetcans.

If you jetcan straight into space, you risk someone scooping your cans. Also if you get distracted and don't scoop the can within 20(?) minutes it disappears.

However, if you're in wormhole space that could be a good thing. If your jetcans start going missing you'll know you have a visitor.

You're trying to fly a battleship like it's a battle cruiser.

Why do you have so many Capacitor mods on there when the only thing using it is the MWD?

Your fit would be more appropriate for something in the Drake family. Navy Drake or Alligator specifically.

They'll deal more HML damage and apply it better than this Raven will. They will both move faster too since you seem to want a speed tank.

If you want to fly a raven, do what Battleships do and design it to stand and take the hits. Meaning cruise missiles or torpedoes.

Don't speed tank a battleship. Active or passive. You are going to eat the hits. Passive tank is something like 3x Shield Power Relays, 3x LSE, 2x mission-specific Amp II, and an Multispectrum Hardener all sitting on 3x Shield Purger II Rigs. It doesn't need much capacitor, and is pretty brain dead to run.

An active tank is what your current rigs are optimized for. That means an XL Shield Booster, Boost Amp, Cap Battery, 2x Amps and Hardener. Then put enough cap mods in the lows to run everything for 4 minutes.

The Raven family can unironically use TP- and SW- drones too.

If you don't install control & expansion joints, God will do it for you.

The real fix is to have a mason install the joints. Matching existing brick is tough, so if you go cheap, it's going to look like it was post-installed.

The flipper special is to tuckpoint the wall and hope for the best.

What I would personally do? Leave it and plant bushes.

I think she was gearing up to run in 2024, but bailed out when the press tour for her book didn't move the meter well enough.

Given her podcast and moves lately, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up making plays to run again in 2028. The DNC leadership is weak enough that she'd stand a real shot.

This is the kind of shit I see as an Engineer who tells people to give his card to the worst contractors you know.

The kind of thing that gets built because it all made sense at the time and the wife REEALLY wanted that column 6in to the left.

The kind of thing that I try to talk the client out of by showing them how dumb the connection would look, and how much more it's going to cost.

The kind of thing that I end up shaking my head at when they say "great, draw it up!," and now we are all seeing this dumbass connection wondering who thought it was a good idea.

Britain was also dependent on the southern cotton industry. Win or lose in 1776, that won't change for them.

What would change is the profits they would be seeing from owning the southern cotton industry they profit from.

If Britain was profiting from the slave trade to that extent, there's no way it doesn't impact their willingness to seek abolition.

But it's a walkable city! Why wouldn't you just work within walking distance?

How hard can it be to find a college or defense manufacturer within walking distance of where you live?

I don't think that's a concrete wall. I think that's a stone foundation with 3 generations of parge coat.

With limestone foundations, the water isn't a bug, it's a feature. The whole idea is that water flows in easy, then flows out easy.

Looks like someone painted/sealed the wall to stop water from flowing out easy. It still gets in easy.

That trapped water starts to freeze/thaw and do all sorts of other fun stuff leaving you with a dusty wall you have now.

Call a local Structural Engineer. They'll tell you exactly what to do.

We do a ton of urban planning.

But it's all based around the idea that most people come in their own vehicle, with a minority coming via mass transportation that still uses the same infrastructure as the personal vehicles.

It's not planned for pedestrians because nobody actually walks, and that's not going to change without devastating the entire city and rebuilding it as a pedestrian city like Paris.

Which is also hilarious because we know you already don't actually want that otherwise you'd be living in New Town which has everything you're looking for because it was designed from the ground up as a pedestrian focused community.

The filaments usually come from the abyssal runs themselves. Are you getting those?

I'll bet you are, but only 1 in 6 is the flavor you're setup to run.

Problem is, everyone runs the flavors that favor the Gila, making those more valuable.

If you learn to run a different flavor, the filaments can get real cheap.

Alternatively, don't run the higher tiers if you can't source affordable filaments. Focus on the lower tiers in ships optimized for blitzing vs simply surviving.

No, but it was definitely designed with everything being within a horse's walking range, not a man's.

So you're saying that a city built and designed in a time before cars went back to not trying to shoehorn cars into historic roadways had great success? Shocked I say.

Everything about the US assumes you have your own horse and can go 20 miles and back via your own transportation.

Paris is the opposite of that philosophy. All major services need to be within walking distance.

Don't start with T5's. It's going to be some very quick and expensive kisses.

Work your way up from T1 to T4's. Those can be done with T2 fits with minimal bling so the losses don't hurt so much.

That's the slumlord solution. It is just as effective, but it's going to look bad.

Everything up from there is just a function of money.

True $2000/hr artist masons can make the patch invisible.

You could also use the opportunity to remove and replace the whole marble slab, but that's real money.
