I’d like to say that I wouldn’t, but I would.

Well, that’s the plan for the future.

Well, based on my mom being 97 and stories of my dad about her mom, I have over a 100 years of breeding when it comes to that going for me.

Nuclear’s problem isn’t the cost of operation. It’s the cost of construction. What drives up the operating cost is that the utility has to take out a mind-numbingly large loan to build the plant and just the interest charges are insane.

The secret to geothermal is that you have to go a LOT deeper than you do today. Right now, geothermal plants have to be near volcanos to get the heat and only places like Iceland get any significant power from them. But if you went superdeep, then the temperatures would be hot enough to get meaningful power out of it.…

As for 3 absolutely.

I knew a guy in high school that was hit from behind with an RX-7 (first gen) at “a high rate of speed” being driven by a “completely non-sober drunk” on a sidewalk.

Exactly. But we HAVE to take the steps to do the work, not wait for a perfect solution.

I think in cities, like NYC, it doesn’t make sense to NOT use EVs. I can see EVs being slower to be adopted in more open and rural areas, just like what happened with horses still be a common mode of transportation even into the 30s in rural America. Which was ok.

When I was a kid, the flying saucer making the news sort of looked like a blurry hat. It had sharp corners and the like and would move around randomly and change shape suddenly and would never be picked up on radar.

First gear: Every technology has an impact. But we have to think about the environmental impact of what we STOPPED doing.

Although I am in the nuclear industry and think it is a great way forward, I can’t forget about wind. Wind is proving to be better than solar for making power. Basically for each MW of capacity you install of wind, you need to install 2 MW of solar capacity because the wind blows more often than the sun shines.

As a note, don’t stop and smell the roses, unless they are purple. My parents had a florist and it was insane how little smell a rose has now after at least a century of breeding them to look great, instead of smell great.

It’s not just where the force is applied (getting your knees destroyed sucks, but not as bad as getting your ribcage destroyed). It’s what happens to you after impact.

I’m guessing the low miles is an indication of how much trouble it is to keep it running well. But really low miles, Florida location so shouldn’t have seen much salt (unless it was on the beach) and good price.

A nick name for a customer you don’t want them to find out about.

The BAC that prevents you from boarding is 100%. As long as the person isn’t going to die as soon as they drop the pressure from alcohol poisoning, you let them stagger on.

I work in nuclear power. Typical qualification takes about a year.. for 40+ years of service. Thermal, radiation, vibration, functional cycles, seismic and simulated earthquake. Well, if all goes well.  It never goes well every time.  Which is one of the reasons nuclear plants are so often behind schedule and over…

Commonplace on government contracts. Seriously commonplace.
