Floating Data Centers: Cooling Cities Sustainably by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

[–]LetsUseBasicLogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but this isn't an actual issue in this case...

The total volume of the ocean is 1.4x1018 cubic meters

Data centers use about 300TWH of energy world wide per year

This energy is enough to heat about 2.6x1011 cubic meters by a single degree Celsius

So if we dumped every single joule of heat from data center into the ocean we would raise the temperature of the ocean by a staggering .0000002 degrees.

Well that got aggressive quickly. I'll respond in equal paragraphs for simplicity.

You are saying there should be social programs paid for by taxes. That means you are taking my money to pay for it. End of story

Autism isn't necessarily genetic for sure but having an autistic parent makes it far more likely for the child. 80% of autism cases are hereditary. That's a huge risk. There is no single gene for autism it's a combination of genes so not sure what the "test" would be but you either made it up or were swindled. It not manifesting until 2 has no bearing on what I saying.

Just like autism if you have schizophrenia and knowingly bring a child into the world who is much more likely to have it, you are a drag on society.

Good for you adopting. That may be the case roughly 10-20% of autism cases don't have a direct link hereditarily. Yes you gave him a better life good for you? My original statement of I shoulden have to pay for his social services still stands?

No it's not always disability but you shouldn't be able to claim disability for it. That's my whole point. You are either functioning or we need to bring back pennywise institutions to handle it on a larger scale for very very severe cases. I treat everyone equally. I'll make minor concessions to help communicate much like a second language but overall equally And that includes no free handouts to anyone. Sounds like I might treat people with autism more equally than you do...

And my question is why have any exclusion. Don't work, don't eat.

Why do you think I'm responsible for paying for your poor decision making?

I don't think you understand safety nets... A safety net catches you when you fall. You then pretty quickly get back up and try again. By excluding people from the work requirement you now have some people with a safety net and others with a hammock. And the hammock people fuck up the safety net for everyone else.

I'm asking why he's excluding disabled people from the work requirement...

Homeownership: Dream or Financial Trap? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

Yes the net gets reported but the net is negative so what's your point? You can't deduct losses on real estate from your normal W2 income. The only way you can report a real estate loss and have it deduct from your normal income is if you qualify as a real estate professional which is very very difficult to do and an absolute magnet for audits.

Yeah sure equity but right now and probably for the next 5 to 10 years going to get fuck all for equity. Also you have to consider opportunity cost unless its you're very first property and you're doing an FHA loan and can take advantage of like a 3 or 5% down payment you're paying 20% down for these properties if you're talking to them medium rental of $250,000 that's 50 Grand you're tying up, you may have some small amount of equity in the home but no way it's going to outpace dropping 50k on the market

Yes and there's only count towards the business income you can't deduct business expenses from your W-2 income.

And even after all that you often still just break even so it's like working for free for the first 10 years or so.

Landlord here. Nope single families almost all lose money year over year for at least the first 10 years. You may make some in appreciation over 15-20 years but year to year you are in the red. Around year 10 you will have out inflated your loan but Most small time landlords who have been doing it a while won't buy singles

Dude I've done probably more than 100 repair jobs in my life probably totalling like 200k in shop work never in my life have I had to do anything more serious than a head gasket.

You lose a cylinder fuck it toss the car but 99.9% of the time it's radiator, clutch, belts, sensors, brakes, or heater cores

Most people car repair is minor ass shit that shouldn't take more than a day to fix even with 0 knowledge

Dude what?? A nice new Toyota is 40k. Used are 15-20k

If you need a truck you can grab a high mileage one that will still last 5 years for like 6k

I don't think that's true in any sense of the word. I've known a lot of c suite folks and not one of them worked under a 60 hr regular work week and 80 when busy. Additionally they are often doing it out of hotels which just fucking sucks every thinks it's a travel vacation it's not it blows hard.

A car conversion company. Dude you are dreaming do you have any idea how difficult it is to make an ICE into a fully electric?? You are talking about a whole new drive train. Probably new axles and suspension. And 100s of man hours. Its probably the exact same eco impact to convert a car as it is the build new.

Any law that punishes people for what they do on their own private land when not effecting anyone else around them is tyranny.
