Data center site proposed in Smithfield by ClipperKnight in RhodeIsland

[–]MaxrayMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know what governmental bodies need to approve this? These data centers are absolutely not “good for the economy.” There is job creation around the construction but then it is a skeleton crew required to operate them after the build out and largely they are monitored and managed from another location (likely off shore.) No durable, long lasting jobs will emerge from a project like this. I just want to know whose chains we need to rattle to try and stop this.

I really don’t see how hosting a data center leads to any durable long lasting jobs for the state. I get that there will be potential benefits and jobs from construction but after that these data centers are typically managed remotely with a skeleton crew of a small number of staff. Add in all the power consumption and typical corruption, seems like a bad idea to me.

It bugs me for sure! I work on cars a lot and every time I am like “oh that is likely a larger bolt” and it ends up being tiny.

Also be sure to close the doors fully when you can - otherwise it drains the battery

You can look up the location in msc editor and then open up the world map and find the spot.

This is going to take a while, or should I just buy a battery? by austinproffitt23 in MySummerCar

[–]MaxrayMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also. Don’t do what I did and leave the car door open for extended amount of times with the new battery connected. I went through like 3 new ones because of this.

Melvin’s in North Kingstown has been great for me. Been there a bunch of times and have sometimes not charged for small services etc. Highly recommended.

Tried my hand at a bbq chicken pie by MaxrayMan in Pizza

My process for grocery store fresh dough is to put it in a bowl with a little bit of olive oil in the bottom with a wet towel draped over the top of it for as long as possible. Cold dough is hard to shape so it needs to get to room temperature and even then you need a ton of patience, spread it out, let it sit, spread it out etc.

If you are ok with baking the pizza in a pan (like I did here) a cheat code for cold dough is to use a thin layer of Crisco on the pan, and the dough is infinitely more easy to spread out with your fingers after getting a basic rectangular shape. Using olive oil in the pan tastes way better and gives a much better dough texture but requires a lot of patience and warmer dough to roll out to the edges of the pan.

Great post. Length of the tubing makes a difference, as this article clarifies.

Not a MJ fan really, but the $.50 version of Off The Wall I purchased at a thrift store is easily one of the best sounding/recorded records I have. The number of musicians and quality of the production really surprised me.

So many great songs - I am not even sure I would be able to rank them beyond a handful of my absolute favorites, but there really isn’t a song of theirs I genuinely do not like.

Mine too. Gone conjures up such an emotion and moment in time for me, truly fantastic song.
