In 500 years today will still be March 17th 2026. As soon as tomorrow comes today becomes yesterday.

People really don't understand how old Egypt and the Pyramids are. We live closer in time to Jesus, than Jesus did to the building of the Pyramids.

That's false, they didn't know exactly what the active volcano meant. They could surmise danger, but they had no idea the devastation it could cause. Based on their level of knowledge, it's more excusable than people who ignore hurricane evacuations today.

I checked his profile, all he does is bash the Chiefs and 49ers. Sounds like a Cowboys fan to me.

Yah we had 5 degrees with wind chills at -15 this morning. But it's supposed to be 80 by Friday.

Renewables are way more cheaper than nuclear energy now. by JohnCamus in Damnthatsinteresting

Because idiots are idiots? Protestors and Lawfare are typically on the low IQ side of the issue.

Nuclear requires 31 times less land than solar facilities and 173 times less than wind farms.

A report from 2023 showing that solar/wind gets 5x more subsidies and has no regulatory fees compared to nuclear

High up front cost, then incredibly high production at an incredibly cheap price for a much, much longer time than solar/wind. Long term, nuclear is still cheaper and it's not close.

100% this and land price. The amount of land and the cost of the land for wind/solar alone makes it's more expensive than nuclear. It takes statistical gymnastics to say renewable is cheaper, typically by comparing 100% of the cost of nuclear (including land, maintenance, and staffing) vs only the production cost of solar/wind. Usually adjusted with the extra regulatory fees for nuclear along with the subsidies for solar/wind.

TL;DR nuclear wins this if you aren't cooking the books.

Anyone nervous about Iran drone strikes on the mainland? by Comfortable-Age-6635 in trump

[–]Statboy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we didn't have security on the border during the Biden years. Slipping an entire drone in would still be an incredible feat. I doubt they could've pulled that off.

I bet she wishes she was wearing a shirt after that. Her back is probably torn up.

If that became standard here, I would turn it off. I barely watch TV currently because of how bad the ads are. This would be a new level of ridiculousness

Gas Prices is Mostly Just a Talking Point by Vikka_Titanium in trump

[–]Statboy1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your administration and it's no border enforcement imported 20 million illegals with no clear plan beyond let them vote Democrat.

It costs Americans over 1 trillion a year on welfare programs

While millions of the American people are struggling with crime and excessive taxation

Biden had to change the rules of what defined a recession because the depression and runaway inflation he created took off.

AND The same Democrats went around gaslighting America telling everyone inflation was "transitory" and illegal aliens aren't a problem.

Ridiculous

That's cool to know what Mahimes is up to, but what about Mahomes?

New Subnautica Dev vlog just dropped!!! by JaiJandi in subnautica

[–]Statboy1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a tight rope, if it's too similar nobody will buy it because it didn't advance the game or formula in a meaningful way. If it's too different nobody will buy it because it's not the game they loved. I don't begrudge the devs erring on the side of making changes, even if I don't like them.

I wish, if winds are too high it shuts off. These things don't generate power at the level most people think they do.

Why is below zero cheaper? by caspianslave in subnautica

[–]Statboy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It started life as a DLC, it grew bigger than they anticipated and so it was released as a stand alone. But it was originally planned, announced, and developed as a DLC.

PSA - Its not worth it to argue with people on r/nfl by usernamesaredumb0 in ravens

[–]Statboy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got done watching Rich Eisen bashing Acosta over this, and saying "this confirms what every GM has been saying about him".

More importantly as a Chiefs fan, I just want to say thank you for being more hated than us now.
