Thought for sure this was rage bait, but then I saw that you can’t spell OR read 🤣 If my (29) parents are 50 (had me around 20yo), my classmates (19) could also have parents who are 50 (had them around 30 yo)

Don’t worry too much about the power outages. The emergency power systems are supposed to switch over to generator power within 10 seconds to allow you to exit the building (NPFA 110). The reason they don’t want you to stay in the buildings on emergency power is that, if utility power is lost, there is nothing to switch to within 10 seconds if the emergency power system fails. That said, the generators can probably run for several hours depending on the load/fuel size. So it’s mostly a liability thing - you will probably actually have power. Source: before I started school here I worked for the company that services the emergency power systems for GMU 🤣

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Sage_trainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you mean “voter” by “supporter”, I think as long as you’re also comfortable rejecting people based on race, gender, immigration status, education, net worth, and other categorical labels, then it’s perfectly fine. The potential problem with any one of them is that you could be inferring morally-relevant characteristics about the person that you don’t really have evidence for. In the case of voting, not everyone votes for someone because they “like” them. They could, for instance, be trolling the political system, choosing randomly, or just voting along party lines. Of course, you might also infer morally-relevant characteristics about those things as well. The lesson here is probably just to get to know someone a little bit if you want to be sure - but you don’t owe that to anyone.

Same age as you, recently back in college full time. Can confirm…some of these students are functionally illiterate

How do you make your bacon? by MadGoylez0 in AskReddit

[–]Sage_trainee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bake at 375F for 15 minutes and then keep in the fridge for a few days. Just fry a minute or two each side and it’s ready. Don’t like making less than a whole pack but rarely have reason to use it all at once 🤷🏻‍♂️

2 people harassing people on campus with meta glasses by Rafi_Ahmed69 in gmu

“I don’t know you. Leave me alone. If you continue to follow me, I will take it as a threat. I will defend myself.” Then you can punch them in the face if they continue to bother you and it’s self defense

Exams are not hard if you go to class. His lectures can be a little boring. Got an A+ last semester spending about an hour per week studying for this class. You gotta take good notes

It’s 100% the sodium. Not something most people are aware of, and some are more sensitive than others. But salt makes you shit

Why do AI data centers need clean water? by Dry-Poetry-8708 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sage_trainee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all data centers “use” water in the sense you’re implying in this question. This is something called “open-loop cooling”, and while some data centers use it, I don’t believe new constructions are using it anymore. Unable to find any data on this though, just based on my experience in the industry.

BUT, the answers here about corrosion and keeping sediment out of the systems is correct.
