100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is “pushed” by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it’s got plenty of juice.

He lost to a liberal canidate named Bruce. Poilievre and Carney ran in ridings in different providences, but the ridings are geographicly right next to each other. Poilievre lost for the first time in 20 years, and Carney was elected as MP for his first time ever.

Hilariously, someone shouted out “Bruce!” during Carneys acceptance speech. Carney said he was looking forward to working with Bruce. Its being read as shade, since thats a gracious thing you say about an opponent you still have to work with, but in Poilievre case, thats not a problem Carney has.

Almost took a job early in my career that would have led to being an oracle DBA. Have managed to continue not working with Oracle at all the rest.

I may be oracle proof. Maybe I should give these hospitals a ring.

Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

Hawaii’s parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

$35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

I’d also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn’t have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

By making this a “fee for use,” it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can’t access the parks at all.

Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That’s a quick pivot away from your weak point about “bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks” i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to “the tragedy of the commons,” where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren’t able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?

Neat article. Can you link me to one about the tens of thousands of mountain bikers in Washington that were not chased by cougars?

All outdoor activities in nature carry risk, some more than others. By far the most dangerous thing for cyclists is motorists, not wildlife. If you can safely navigate the roads to get to a park, your other risks are minimal in comparison.

Super fun and challenging, most likely. Some of the roads are likely difficult on a bike.Lots of other state parks that are accessible by bike besides those two. Heres a great list that includes a bunch.

Paying in $35/yr so the state parks can be maintained and improved is a very reasonable cost, especially with all the damage people and cars do to them.

The link above requires going to a sublink that is long but also very vague to find out the core issue. That link has basically no call outs for a callout post, just byzantine commentary about fosstodons overall code of conduct.

Which fosstodon mod engaged in what racist/anti-lqbt behavior? Where is the admins reply when they were notified about the above behavior?

EDIT: found this post of the mods issues. The feckless Admin response is here.

Shitbird thought he was a cop now and didnt have to follow any laws.

Nope.

Zelensky has already said giving away Crimera is a non starter. Since keeping it is Putins key objective, I don’t see why he would sign it.

“Sincerely believe in” means nothing at all. None of the LLMs that any of the AI companies have demonstrated have actual reasoning skills because that’s not how the technology works.

Its mimicry, and a poor form of it. These companies are talking about “reasoning, thinking AI” as marketing to keep the AI hype cycle going as the actual technology digs deeper into diminishing returns.

This is marketing, pure and simple. There is no reasoning AI within any of these companies grasps.

You can be other kinds of famous. An athlete, youtuber, etc. Even if youre trying to sell speculative fiction, some traction somewhere helps the process.

But yeah, it’s shitty. It’s really hard to make any money writing now.

At least they know their failings and wont waste the authors time.

You can also buy the system outright for $1850, which is solid for 800W and the professional electrician install they need for power sensing and anti-islanding requirements to prevent power from being fed back to the grid.

The panels are worth about $500, so you’re mainly paying for the electrician in the above.

“It’s good, but we can’t market it. If you were already famous in some other way so we could sell based on that, we would buy it.”

Could have phrased it better, but I kinda get it.

10am to 3am better have been all 3 shifts. A 17hr day is just not fucking okay, especially because im sure they didn’t pay you OT.

Somewhat common to take any job if youre desperate, but keep interviewing. Sounds like she had at least two jobs lined up at once, and her second, and likely better, job got back to her the same day she started with your company.

Sounds like she made the right call.
