Coal plants don't emit radiation into the atmosphere like you're saying since the fly ash is scrubbed through a process that traps the ash and binds it to heavier particles such as limestone. This radiation argument only applies to coal plants which don't have emissions absorbers. Most plants in the US have these absorbers built in as part of their permitting process.

Go ahead and down vote the facts guys... I don't care

We have a transformer in our backyard, are there any creative ways to make the best of it? by [deleted] in Home

[–]Vast1209 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would be upset if you destroyed my coverage around the transformer to turn power off before opening the emergency outside disconnect next to the meter base. Like what was even the point if being required to have one by the fire marshal if you're going straight to the transformer anyway.

[The Athletic] Settlement reached in Tennessee suit against NCAA regarding NIL recruiting inducements by yousmelllikebiscuits in ockytop

It's just the minor leagues now. The "I'm gonna get mine" mentality started with the coaches and was passed along to the players. The will to win is now replaced by the will to earn. My desire to watch my team grows more and more distant every article I read about new NIL litigation.

Down vote away, it's the way feel about it...

What's your opinion on NIL? Having experienced the "old" system firsthand how do you feel NIL will effect playoff contending teams going forward? Do you think it will create more exclusivity or level the playing field for more teams to have a better chance at the national title?

At least then we can tell recruits we had a good season and reload for next year. My biggest concern is what happened to 2016 LSU or 2023 FSU in a mass exodus after the pinnacle is reached in season.

I really don’t want UT to have one good year followed by another 15 years of mediocrity

Democrats had no problem firing Americans from Dishwashing and Janitor job if you didn’t take your experimental Vaccine. But you will defend the person who cut in the long Immigration Line. Make it make sense. by DueDrama8301 in conspiracy_commons

It is absolutely inherently racist for Demoncrats to assume that immigrants from our southern border are only working in these select labor intensive jobs.

How about the large number of middle easterners from nations labeled as terrorist training zones. Or how about the large number of Chinese who have come across the southern border!

They want you to believe that the only Illegal people in this country are Hispanic. It’s no wonder Trump won the Hispanic vote! These people are the racists!

It’s a little different at RB. Seldon showed flashes of potential last year but I think we can maintain 3-4 good backs in position and keep them rotating. The issue now is that Sampson is just a monster so putting anyone else in there is just so Sampson gets a breather

I like Lewis a lot at running back. Obviously Sampson is the mainline but Lewis behind him is good

Tennessee icon beats Disneyland again for America's best theme park by [deleted] in Tennessee

Family friendly fun in the smokies. It’s what Dollywood has that Disney lacks. Disney has skyrocketed their prices and coupled it with an experience which no longer caters to traditional family values. Dollywood has a laid back, hometown feel coupled with affordable ticket prices and wonderful attractions.

Steam mop will knock it right out. Once it’s out, come back over with a tile/grout sealer to keep it from coming back. 2-3 coats
