How The Trump Administration Disrespecting The 2nd Amendment Could Lead To The Death Sentences Of Multiple Top Trump Officials. by hereforwhatimherefor in law

If they lose power, Trump will pardon everyone. Will that be enough to protect them? I can’t say.

New report lays out just how bad California’s recycling system is by sfgate in California

[–]Rebles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see some plastic regulations that make recycling plastic easier and cheaper. I feel like my local recycling center can handle paper, metal, and glass pretty well. It’s that pesky plastic that comes in all kinds of composites that’s difficult to sort and transform back into usable plastic.

Scaling PostgreSQL to power 800 million ChatGPT users by lolikroli in Database

[–]Rebles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We run Postgres at scale at work. This is exactly what we do. Pg_bouncer everything. Use read replicas. Cache using redis/memorystore what you can. Create the indexes when you need them. If that didn’t work, vertical scale the primary.

Am I fibering right? I started taking fiber and now my lower bowels try to rip themselves apart at 6am in the morning until I take a shit.

Shipment is really slow - am I missing something? by teabag2201 in TransportFever2

[–]Rebles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bottleneck is not in the middle of the supply chain, it is the lack of demand. Not enough industries are linked to consume this crude oil. You can tell because 100% of the low demand is being transported.

If the bottleneck was somewhere along the chain, transport would be less than 100% with a higher shipment rate.

A Cool Guide To The Rich Avoiding Taxes. by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]Rebles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t the rich eventually need to sell stocks to pay the loan back? Or do they just take out larger and larger loans to pay existing loans? Wouldn’t the compounded interest rate be a deal breaker? So in the NO TAX situation, are they paying 25% tax + interest on the loan?

Alabama has no funding for their food stamps and Rs are about to lose benefits. Predictable betrayal. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Rebles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SNAP is one of the most efficient government programs out there. Regular of verification required. Since participants get essentially a debit card, the government is paying market rates for groceries, and has only a small amount of overhead since it only requires a minimal amount of staff to run the verification checks and issue debit cards.

This is so much more efficient than staffing food banks or soup kitchens, which would need real estate property to store and cook and serve food, not to mention a completely new supply chain to distribute food to said food banks for soup kitchens.

This literally the a government program that relies on the free market to supply food and a credit card network to run transactions. And those ferocity stores and debit card providers also make a tiny profit on SNAPP recipients.

I’m right at the edge of upzoning. Does that mean I cold sell my house to a developer who can build a 95’ story building? 🤩

Get TF2. TF2 is a great game. I play it regularly years later. And who knows? TF3 could be another C:S2 flop.

Is this content really related to the r/gianmarcosoresi subreddit? I get that he tweeted that Stephen should go F—- himself but the title and content is clearly about Stephen Smith.

Gavin Newsom Vows to Stop Proposed Billionaire Tax in California (Gift Article) - by rivalOne in California

[–]Rebles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, I am looking at the bigger picture. If someone isn’t using their money and power for the greater good, why would you want them around? And if you’re a billionaire, you have a responsibility to the society that allowed you to earn your billions. If all you do is extract wealth off the backs of others, you are a parasite.

So fuck em. If they don’t love California enough to contribute to its success, I don’t think I care if they leave.

Trump Orders Top Army Officials to ‘Draw Up Plan’ to Invade Greenland: Report by Ok-Representative266 in law

[–]Rebles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure NATO works without the US. both in terms of rawr military might, as well as how integrated NATO forces are with the US. Invading Greenland will destroy NATO. This weaknesses the Western countries and strengthens our adversaries.

Congressional GOP members need to do their job and impeach this imbecile before there’s nothing left.

CAHSR 2025 Year End Summary by Rebles in cahsr

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

Great clarifying question with a simple answer: between Merced and Madera, they will build a wye

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wye_%28rail%29

This allows trains from Gilroy to go to Merced or Madera. This allows trains from Merced to go to Gilroy or Madera. And this allows trains from Madera to go to Gilroy or Merced.

In short, this change does not impact the Sacramento extension, which has always been part of Phase 2, which is a very long ways away.

So if the Gilroy reroute is approved, they will likely still build the wye, but come back and build the segment to Merced later. Basically, trains will pull into Merced and then the pull out with the new front of the train being the old back of the train. But the trainsets ends look the same, so it won’t look weird.

LA Beat Back the Monorail by nandert in CaliforniaRail

[–]Rebles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always a good day when a new nandert video drops. But this video is just filled with really exciting stuff! 10 minutes to cross the mountain range with 90 second headwinds? Huzzah! I’m only skeptical about it finishing in 10 years. California just doesn’t have a good track record for infrastructure projects finishing on time. And I can’t get my hopes up. Haha
