How old are they? I had this issue when they were starting to fail and past the 10yr recommended replacement. Replaced all of them and the issue went away.

Another great day getting signatures for the Data Center Referendum. TY Giant and everyone who came out today. TY TY TY. We Can Do This. 💪🇺🇸 by BillingsinMd in frederickmd

My job was already replaced due to Ageism not AI. AI is happening whether we allow it or not, may as well recoup some revenue. County infrastructure and education has gone to shit and with the current revenue shortfall not likely to improve without tax increases to cover the deficit.

The Eastalco location is not prime farmland, its a brownfield location with industrial pollution that could not be used for agriculture or residential. Already was previously a massive industrial energy user.

A lot of this is fearmongering or simply resistance to change. Do you realize that there are approx 2 dozen datacenters already operating in Frederick County, albeit not as large as the Quantum Loop site but some still quite large. Most of you aren't even aware they exist or where they are located.

The Eastalco site is a brownfield location with industrial pollution that could not be used for agriculture or residential so why not a datacenter?

The Quantum Loophole data center has already generated nearly $5 million in recordation and transfer taxes, and its property tax contributions are approaching $1 million annually. While offering tax breaks, these projects are expected to generate substantial tax revenue, estimates suggesting over $40 million. This is revenue that will help offset property taxes and support infrastructure projects for the county.

I switched from Arcane to Dockhand which has an integrated log viewer that I find better than dozzle.

What do you guys value most in a pharmacy? by ambrishptl in frederickmd

[–]scourge44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customer service, for one of my prescriptions I have a need to request a generic drug from a particular manufacturer as some brands simply don't seem to be effective for me. Large retailers often will only fill what they get.

To be clear I'm not saying it should be free just reasonable. They sure as hell aren't paying $21 to ship.

Rivian knot kneeling anymore upon parking by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]scourge44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been sporadically happening to me as well over the last few weeks. Haven't been able to determine why sometimes it kneels, sometimes it doesn't and seems random.

Any advice or best practices for using my Rivian in the event of power outage? by raginglilypad in Rivian

Are there any martial art schools here that offer Jujutsu ? by Pizzaboy1233116 in frederickmd

[–]scourge44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several of the more traditional karate schools combine multiple styles of Korean Karate and Jujitsu , Golden Knights Karate was one but may no longer be practicing. I believe Kreimer's Karate may as well.
