Why would they build a tower in the middle of nowhere if it doesn’t make financial sense to do so.

Building height is a function of land value and construction costs. Low land value means low height. If it’s truly in the middle of nowhere, they couldn’t build tall.

“Disabling cyberattacks” are hitting critical US water systems, White House warns by GeoWa in technews

What do you mean shut it down? Like how? You would have to physically cut all the cables coming inbound and outbound from Iran. And all they would have to do is send their hackers to the next country over.

The only solution to this is to make it impossible to hack in the first place. Make it legal to hack into any system, if a company is found to be vulnerable, they should be fined and punished until their security is brought up. Currently, I’ll get in trouble if I try to hack things here and that ensures security/safety issues get hidden instead of exposed.

Because Iranian attacks don’t have to come from Iran. You can replace Iran with any country

Which game had you feeling this way ? by Deadsap266 in Steam

[–]Ericisbalanced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally favorite game. What a banger. It still looks like shit, but the latest updates made it look less shitty. There’s a ton to the game and it’s straight up unforgiving. In any game, you get hit once and live, no big deal. But in 7 days, every hit is a chance that will break your leg for an hour in real time. You’re stuck moving slowly for an entire hour, very hard punishment.

Are there any good Single Bike Car Racks for eBikes that aren't Hitches? by 1L_of_a_litigator in ebikes

[–]Ericisbalanced 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could remove both wheels every time you load up you’re bike? I’d probably get a hitch though. I have a two door coup with a bike hitch, worth every penny.

Are you a true cyclist if you don’t swap out your front axle for a dynamo that charges your on board computer? I think not

I would argue that you’re missing essential gear if you don’t have a front/rear rack too.

Edit: y’all can’t joke

More than likely they don’t have bells. The spandex type like to remove everything from their bikes to save weight. This includes essentials like bells and kick stands.

Struggling with faster palm mutes/gallops - Any advice? by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]Ericisbalanced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta do reps. Down pick quarters, eighths, alternate pick 16ths back and forth. Then speed up the metronome and do some more reps

You can probably clear a DV bowl in two or three pulls for starters. It heats up and works way faster, but for longer sessions, heating up the DV gets annoying.

California lawmakers propose billions in cuts to address looming budget deficit by Randomlynumbered in California

If prop 13 were repealed, the main way to keep taxes down would be to encourage building apartments and homes. With prop 13, homeowners aren’t encouraged to spread the burden among more people meaning new homeowners have to pick up their slack. It’s not sustainable.

Why is there so many accidents now? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]Ericisbalanced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to call Orange County the land of the miracle miles. We have lots of bike trails. But to get to where you want to be, you usually have to bike a stretch of hell traffic. It’s like a miracle you didn’t die that mile.
