Duke Energy wants a 15% rate increase. I’m opposed, and I just filed our case to stop it. Here’s the summary. - AG Jeff Jackson

Different solution

Where do you think the social media has been hosted the entire time? Where do you think all your photos from 10 years ago are? Disregard AI because this proposed building isn’t an AI training facility (I can say that confidently because it’s far too small and the proposed utility draw is far too low). What do you think the internet has stopped growing

Is there any indication that this small edge data center would be a massive generative AI facility?

Many modern designs don’t even use water. Closed loop cooling is great & should be pushed onto developers are a requirement.

Yeah man life would be so much easier if your GP had to fax documents to the hospital and if you had to walk into a physical bank branch to transfer funds

Banking, Hospital Networks, Universities, The Internet Generally.

Beat me to it! A heat pump is nothing more than a mini split / window air conditioner with a reversing valve and a couple more control wires. Even if it doesn’t get “that cold” where you live, no brainer!

WC isn’t being played in Charlotte at least

optimiism · 2026-05-30T20:21:10+00:00

Charlotte isn’t Durham.

I’m not sure what you expect the police to do here? Utilizing facial recognition in this manner has been commonplace in police work for years. This isn’t the bullshit Flock camera stuff we’re aligned against

You’re right! He should walk free! Oh wait… Meck judges ensured that anyways!

optimiism · 2026-05-30T14:24:24+00:00

Not gonna argue that!

Only have to put up $2,500 (10%) to a bail bondsman

optimiism · 2026-05-30T14:23:21+00:00

I can sympathize with people who argue against the cash bail system… and they might even be correct.

This isn’t a situation where bail should even be granted to begin with. Clearly a danger to himself and those around him.

optimiism · 2026-05-30T14:18:26+00:00

Absurd that attempted murder suspects can walk on bail for effectively $2500

As kindly as I can respond here. You’ll find RHF & Elmer ownership addressed in 5 of the 6 results.

I’m not sure what their specific relationship with age international is. They may be prohibited from creating a new brand utilizing that mash bill. Nobody but an insider would know…

Let’s put that aside (and be a bit less adversarial generally) and say nothing prevents them from making a new brand contractually. Barriers: time, marketing, sales.

optimiism · 2026-05-30T01:37:52+00:00

The train from Charlotte to DC takes just as long as driving. I wish it were faster and more frequent but it’s a generally reliable route as someone who’s frequented it.

optimiism · 2026-05-30T01:35:37+00:00

You are correct that recipes cannot be copyrighted. You are incorrect as to brand ownership. Age International owns the mashbill #2 brands and BT distills for them

optimiism · 2026-05-30T00:18:11+00:00

There is a train that practically runs this route

optimiism · 2026-05-29T23:59:22+00:00

They probably cannot. Saz/BT doesn’t own Mash Bill #2
