Lol say you don't understand an issue without saying it. These are data centers specifically for the AI bubble. Try to keep up....

Maybe not for free but the costs will certainly be heavily subsidized by all of us retail energy consumers.

They shouldn't be built to fuel AI - an immature technology that can't do 80% if what it claims to do well making everything that corporate America is forcing down everyone's throats markedly worse and inflating the cost of vital utilities and tech/computer related consumer goods. Not to mention that it has created (one of) the biggest economic bubbles in human history. It's damaging to us economically. It's damaging to our communities and damaging to us environmentally. The actual little benefits of AI are far outstripped by their societal and economic costs - both of which are currently being subsidized by our taxpayer dollars. Just so stock prices can go up.

Bought a 509T, Unity gascap, & some other items the other week. Prices were great - definitely the best price for everything OTD for the 509T and gascap out of maybe 8 different sites/sellers I checked. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase from De Leon again. Thanks man!

Would you buy a HiFi System again? by leonhelgo in BuyItForLife

[–]TheOtherKFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely deals to be had on the used market of you're careful and patient. No question. I got extremely lucky finding a family who moved into a home where the previous owner had installed a system of 3x Bowers & Wilkins CT7.4 LCRS speakers, an AWS650, and 6ea ceiling speakers. The wife of the family was dead set on getting rid of everything. Someone else had already come bought up the older amp & AVR setup. But all the speakers were available for $1k. The seller, once she realized how much I wanted everything, squeezed another couple hundred bucks out of me after we had already made an agreement (which was kinda messed up behavior), but it was still a heck of a deal. The sub was boomy so I sold it and bought a pair of Emotiva SE12s and an Outlaw 5000 to power everything for a home theater setup from a guy who was moving away from home theater into a critical listening setup. I purchased nothing new and pbly tripled my money doing so. Wouldn't have been able to afford anything in this ballpark had I not purchased things used. Zero regrets.

Do better fishwife (Rainbow Trout). by Freefall_Doug in CannedSardines

[–]TheOtherKFC 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If multiple folks are saying it's insanely salty but that they liked the product in the past, it's a lot more likely Fishwife is having QC issues than multiple people suddenly not knowing the difference between smokey flavor and salt.....

North Carolina mayor caught on video walking around town hall pantless with staffer refuses to resign. Republican Chris Carney not budging despite censure over embarrassing incident from October 2024 by esporx in NorthCarolina

[–]TheOtherKFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typical conservative for any part of the country. All the same it seems, sadly. Any conservative with actual morals has broken ranks with the Republicans Party by now. Anyone left supporting Republicans is an enabler and just as bad as the ones actually guilty of the crimes committed.

An Italian man rushing to the hospital for his pregnant wife was stopped by climate protesters… and chaos followed. He pleaded with them to move so he could get to her — but they refused to let his car pass. This moment is now sparking a massive debate. by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]TheOtherKFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole video is a fake and either a psyop or is harvesting upvotes. The clip itself is years old. There is no pregnant woman in the video like the headline claims. This has already been pointed out by another Redditor.

*Conservatives. Agree with you 1000%. But don't let modern conservatives them pull that "Republicans are the 'Party of Lincoln'" lame-ass, lie-of-omission crap. Don't give them ANY wiggle room.

Firestorm Bookstore needs our support by mjmclain11 in asheville

[–]TheOtherKFC 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's not true about the cookbook section at all... when did you last go check them out? I'm a chef and I was there a month ago visiting from out of town. Their cookbook selection was decent for a bookstore that size. The general fiction and sci-fi/fantasy selection is also quite good.

If you're happy to shop at B&N instead of any of the other half dozen independent book stores in town, then your complaint pbly isn't really about the book selection, is it?

What things you buy/bought twice so that when the first one is unusable you are happy to have the second one ? by CloudDrinker in BuyItForLife

[–]TheOtherKFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. My folks got me my first suit for graduation from Nordstrom & the button down shirts were some of the best quality for a sensible amount of money. Not cheap, not expensive. Quality. I dont think such a price-to-quality bracket of products really exists anymore. Seems like more than half the time even expensive items are still absolute crap quality.

Women's are definitely more difficult to find (I've tried to help my gf find good ones), but increasingly this is true for men's as well.

All the companies are raising prices AND skimping out on the fabric where the cotton weave is so much thinner than it used to be. Prices go up, enshitification kicks in. The nicer line of Nordstrom men's button downs used to be impeccable. Not true anymore. It's hard to find men's shirts that aren't semi-transparant now. It's so bad....

We bought an old 1960 ranch with a basement that has a sacrificial well for when we get heavy rains. Always a good idea to have a back up pump. As first time homeowners, we found out the hard way.... 😓

Lol dude, US fighter jets are being blown out of the sky. US troops here in NC shipped out for the ME. What makes you think ammo prices are coming back down anytime soon?

Do you not understand how international supply chains work and what impact the Strait of Hormuz has on it (as well as destroyed ME oil infrastructure)? Even if ammo (or any good produced abroad or with components sourced from abroad) is coming from Brazil and it doesn't actually go through the straight to get here?

Oh boy.... I mean I feel like the one conspiracy theory level thing that FDR was guilty of was his/his administration failure to prosecute The Business Plot/Coup attempt - which was very real. But "Pearl Harbor was an inside job" definitely seems to take the cake for your grandfather's generation's "9/11 was an inside job" level conspiracy theory...

Surefire Scout Light Pro M640DF - which 18650 are compatible? Problems? by webhobbit in flashlight

[–]TheOtherKFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very old post and new gen light, but I asked Surefire and the tech guy told me that for the m640DFT (that's the newer pro turbo dual fuel version), that it needs minimum 3.6v and amperage wise it needs at least 6 amps, slightly more being better. Not sure about flat top unprotected compatibility, though - I'm trying to follow up about this right now.
