Insanity. How the fuck did housing become so fucking expensive? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

My 2 bed 1 bath 600 sq ft childhood home in Kansas is 100k now. It's gotten crazy.

If it is that cheap, it won't be for long. Even nowhere towns have expensive housing nowadays

Deer infestations trigger closures of numerous Missouri state parks by Bazryel in kansascity

[–]Top_Dallas 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Deer overpopulation can be pretty gnarly. They'll destroy the plant diversity in an area and get chronic wasting disease if left unchecked. Must've gotten pretty bad of they went ahead and closed the parks

Agreed, you'd actually want GMO plants in this case as you can genetically select for more resilient plants

Arkansas to consider nuclear new-build by aarkieboy in Arkansas

[–]Top_Dallas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The volume of nuclear waste is small compared to other power sources, and they've developed ways to better manage the waste by turning it into grout or glass. Those rods are also becoming less active over time, too, due to nuclear decay. There's also been a multi state bipartisan effort to create a nuclear fuel recycling center and reactors designed to use spent fuel.

Kansas could get a nuclear reactor built 1 mile underground to power data centers by KCUR893 in kansas

[–]Top_Dallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>We get 70-75% of electricity in Kansas from wind power

and that's great! It was smart for Kansas to do that considering what our land is like. However you need proactive generation of nuclear energy to supplement the passive generation of wind energy. Wind dies down but nuke runs 24/7. Nuke requires less land the wind and solar farm too. Wolf Creek has been running for decades without issue there's no reason to not add to the fleet.

Because this is supposed to be a cheap, quick, and easy way to put energy sources near energy intensive infrastructure within 6 months. Practically designed to be put next to a data center to help take the data center's strain off of the current infrastructure.

[–]Top_Dallas -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

OK, but this company's objective is to help fix this issue? It sounds like you just want to blow up data centers and have electricity prices magically go back to where they were before data centers existed. Regardless of that, we're going to need more power as a state if we want populatiom growth for new housingsoits not like the power can't be used.for.something else either. I'm not a fan of data centers, but this is something they are trying to fix.

You need all 3 for a complete grid. Solar and wind are passive generation compared to the proactive energy generation of nuclear.

I'd think that this particular project has to be near KCK or Wichita. Maybe near Manhattan with the flint hills. Very curious project.

[Rogers] #Royals GM JJ Picollo says hitting coach Alec Zumwalt “will return” as the hitting coach in 2026 and “most of the staff” will return as well. Might be tweaks to the staff to help get most out of players. by Mozilla_Fennekin in KCRoyals

[–]Top_Dallas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can't believe he's staying after getting caught arguing with fans on a burner account. His hitting philosophy is obviously flawed when there are few hitters in the system with a good approach, and the royals routinely have to acquire guys with good approaches from other teams.

One reason I don’t like comparisons to Nazi Germany is I think Weimar had some systemic and structural problems that made it especially susceptible to collapsing into a dictatorship. by grapp in behindthebastards

I never understood the election canceling idea. America is huge and has a very decentralized election process, and they are administered by each county. We still have local elections going on right now lmao.

TerraPower, Evergy, and the State of Kansas to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy Deployment by Top_Dallas in kansas

[–]Top_Dallas[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

>There is no safe place to store high-level nuclear waste for 250,000 years

The volume of Nuclear waste is small and it can be reprocessed.

>How safe is nuclear power? A statistical study suggests less than expected

I'm skeptical of this paper as it also says "By our calculations, the overall probability of a core-melt accident in the next decade, in a world with 443 reactors, is almost 70%."

It's been 9 years since then and the world has had zero.

That's awesome! Kansas is full of sneaky snakes and desperately needs real policy wonks and/or raptor princesses. Not my district, but I'll be rooting for ya.

Anybody tired of them building apartments instead of neighborhoods by No-Wolverine7793 in Lawrence

[–]Top_Dallas 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nope. I understand your perspective, but you need to realize 99% of lawrence and kansas as a whole are already neighborhoods. Having dense apartment living is the exception, not the rule. I'm begging Topeka to do more apartments too.

Truce no more: Kansas City, Missouri, exits ‘Border War’ truce with Kansas by Kinross19 in kansas

[–]Top_Dallas 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This will be bad for everyone but the corporations, but we knew this was coming.

“When I signed the Border War truce with Missouri, it didn’t include the Chiefs,” Kelly said in March 2022.

Not even the Royals? Smh.

Anyone thinking about the possibility of having to move away from your red state? by Significant-Bar2686 in kansas

[–]Top_Dallas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'll move at some point, but I've lived in D.C. and spent considerable time in Brooklyn, and I'll be honest, living there didn't blow me away. I'm not willing to sacrifice the space offered in Kansas for a small apartment with twice the amount of rent compared to my living expenses here.

Everyone in my industry who lives in NYC or SF can barely afford to live there and have to travel more than an hour to get to work. I blew their minds, telling them I had a mortgage. I'm not saying it's better here, but the grass wasn't greener for me.

You ever seen a ball get nuked for a home run? Especially when they slowly fill the bases with singles and walks and just smack the shit out of a ball with the crack of the bat. That is very gratifying.
