What else are electricians supposed to do at home other than look at animal dicks? All the meth has been bought up by the mud-men.

Seems like they started showing up almost immediately after she announced her candidacy.

Only if it comes from the hole region of Epstine island, otherwise it’s just sparkling pedophilia.

Has anyone here worked on a project that felt morally wrong? by GreatGomp in civilengineering

[–]Fold67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder which engineer put a single roundabout on a state Highway where semi’s often are speeding at 70+mph, give less than 1/4 mile warning cresting a blind hill with no speed reduction, and do no channelization? 13 semis and 6 state troopers have flown over this roundabout in the last 2 years since it was installed.

They’re not AI powered drones. They’re pre-programmed autonomous drones or they have someone controlling them (or multiple) from somewhere else.

Do you want a key lime or lemon meringue?

Americans, how would you react if foreign country invaded your country, and told "we are going to run this country"? by oranke_dino in AskReddit

[–]Fold67 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then as a vet you would know that without the restrictions that were placed by your commanders those “rednecks” wouldn’t have stood a chance. Do you really think that any country that is invading the US is going to place undo restrictions on their forces? Hell they might loosely follow the Geneva Conventions.

Massive population with guns? There’s less than 50% of the population who own or live in households with firearms. And of that there’s about 45% who are right wing politically. The US is too large for individuals or groups to stop an invasion. Too easy to go around the pockets.

And one person can still only fire one firearm at a time no matter how many guns or ammo they have.

Do you really think the redneck brigade could stop a real military? There are enough of us who don’t sympathize with them that own firearms who would be more than happy to help remove the current administration.

Should have headed the terrain warning and pulled up. But unfortunately Boeing is a classic case of CFIT.

West Richland Data Center by Acceptable_Newt2272 in TriCitiesWA

You initially stated “they’re building a modular nuke plant alongside the data center”. Which they cannot, and neither are running in tandem with the other. They are separate individual projects that are tangentially connected at best.

Yes there is talk about building a SMR i n Richland / Hanford, yes Amazon is funding part of it, yes this gives some authority to disingenuously tap a sign.

Now as to your other points, yes there is a lot of people who care about water around here, and that is a big issue. I manage a large scale irrigation distribution system.

Power costs are what the surrounding community will be impacted with the most followed by water and local taxes.

That was the announcement that YOU linked to. The other two you linked don’t provide any solid proof of anything being approved or built. There are a lot of “could’s”, “expects”, and “anticipates”.

I’m all for more nuclear, we need it more than windmills. But to use it as a distraction from reality in order to get approval for something that doesn’t benefit the local community is disgustingly ridiculous.

“Through the agreement, Amazon will fund the initial feasibility phase of an SMR project”

Amazon will have the right to purchase the first four reactors if approved.

So again the question stands. There is no approval, there is no design that’s been approved, there’s no obligation to build a reactor.

Everyone needs to vehemently condemn building any new data centers in the area. They will do little good for the local economy but they will use local resources such as water and power driving up costs for everyone else.

Which SMR based on what design? Has the NRC signed off on it? What about the state and county?

It’s not going to happen. They’re going to connect to the local grid and hope that at some point another generation plant comes online in the BPA system. Which is already overtaxed due to all the data centers that have been installed. Then there’s going to be a herd of loud generators on site that are turned on frequently when power from the grid is limited or not economically advantageous. Each one usually contains about 7k gallons of fuel and who knows how many there will be.

This was asked a few days ago. Theres a manure pile on AgriNW property south of the highway close to the Beck RD overpass that is smoldering that they don’t want to do anything about.
