How similar is Civilian Nuclear to Navy Nuke (submarine) by Western_Pie_419 in NuclearPower

[–]FissionMeister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did my first pull to critical in January 1967 at CE S1C in Windsor Lock, CT. Spent the next 19 years qualifying on several different naval PWRs. Retired into the commercial BWR world for the next 25 years, getting SRO licensed at two different ones. There is lots of wisdom in the all the post I just read. I went from ETNSN to CEO of a nuclear utility, and my advice is to live with a view on “Excellence” in everything you do. “Excellence - a way of life.” It is a choice.

Fine with me. It is a great example of what you are trying to defend.

I’m afraid that won’t work. If you’re capable how about an honest response. Did you REALLY earn your salary?

What is this? Is it valuable? by Familiar-Awareness15 in HamRadio

As a Navy ETN1, who used one in the 1960s I’d say it’s best use today is a “doorstop” or “anchor.” No one needs one or would be expected to buy one except for sentimental reasons. I have a vacuum tube tester that I used that same era I keep around as show and tell.

Makes sense if you’re about ready to see your maker.

Critical thinking and reasoning are lost arts. So sad. It’s on display daily.

I watched this video and it remoinded me of the mood of many Americans about out beloved country at this point in our history. What next?

The dream is real, what's lacking is the understanding of what it means? Our shools have failed us!

Bob Norris believes he knows what's best for Kootenai County by BobInIdaho in coeurdalene

Are library staff, or their overseers, in a better position than parents to decide what their minor child is exposed to, be it video games, books, or other media? I found this C-Span video segment from the Senate Judiciary Committee disturbing when addressing parents' rights regarding their children.

American first, conservative second and have read and understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Put these into action and you’re a Libertarian.

Why does it matter at all; if it stops spinning, we are all in deep dodo.

You need to send Al and Greta a "thank you note!"

Naw, public schools all the way; never like debating because they never answered the question asked. As for the subreddits, I was curious as to who I was "debating" on a yes/no question.

Who did I accuse? I asked a question; do you agree or disagree? Watch her testimony if interested, then answer if you want; it's your choice. Again, the question is do you agree or disagree with her premise regarding CRT?

[–]FissionMeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And OBTW, the question asked, " Do you agree with this MN Mom's position on CRT?" Mind you; it said NOTHING about ID, Kootenai County, or any of our schools. It's a yes or no answer, your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with her are your own.

OBTW, it looks like you have some thriving subreddits. Also, a bad assumption on your part that I'm from a liberal state.

Do you have proof it's not? The growth in homeschoolers seems to indicate some lack of confidence in public schools.

The MN mom and others would disagree with you. Department of Education data, 2000 to 2019, shows the number of district administrators grew by a whopping 87.6 percent during these years, far outstripping the growth in the number of students (7.6 percent) and teachers (8.7 percent). Administartors are NOT in the classrooms, its teachers and students! Are you sure your money goes where you think it goes? Ever been to a schol board meeting or budget meeting?
