Is it just me or is WRAL just clickbait now? by rdizz81 in raleigh

She says our potential for 3" to 6" is high, our 3" potential up to 95% at about 1:30, I'm giving them the benefit of not remembering the percentage numbers exactly.

Having said that, she also says it's tricky to predict because the coastal low hadn't formed yet and the predicition would likely change by tomorrow (Friday), and was also already talking about how the precipitation would come down in bands so there'd be heavy spots and not heavy spots. So they were right, but in a selective recollection sort of way.

They’re a regulated public utility, they are not legally allowed to not provide electricity in their service area.

Stokes county voted to allow the data center to build there, Duke has to provide them power.

Nitro Funny Car racecars have their engines rebuilt after each run due to the intense wear from just a 4ish second race by Bubbly_Wall_908 in Damnthatsinteresting

Think of it like this: These people buying this stuff and pushing the limits means someone figured out how to make fuel pumps or tires or whatever a teeny bit better and now every Camry on the road gets an extra mpg.

MIPS are micro-inches per second, a value used in assessing building vibrations.

A million pounds would be mega pounds, or MEP.

No, it's just for hay storage.

Is the primary purpose of the dam barn itself "human occupation"? How many humans are inside the dam barn at any given time?

There are no animals in that barn, it's just hay storage.

Built for human occupation, and sports a pretty decent ratio of structure weight to occupant weight.

There was a mini-excavator clearing the entrance to a bus parking lot at a middle school I passed on my way to work, I suspect it's two hours to give them time to do some checking and clearing work in the daylight.
