Population is double but land area is closer to 4 times the size.

Reasonable chance this person isn't actually on the left at all. That's not to say there won't be some on the left who agree with it. But it's a good bet that just like in 2024 there will be plenty of bot accounts trying to push a narrative that depresses Dem turnout.

The way TSLA share price gets more and more divorced from reality really makes me wonder about the wisdom of markets sometimes.

OK that helps explain some of his behavior.

And in case I wasn't clear I don't mean exposed to "white rage" or "decolonizing the military". Just whether he ever received the higher education normal for field grade officers.

Curious if Hegseth ever attended NWC, CGSOC or something equivalent where he was exposed to this sort of thing. He reached major and I know family members who attended such schools at that rank.

I can think of some good examples of this. Financial deregulation that leads to a banking crisis being one obvious case from the not too distant past.

Effects are likely to be worse for people with existing kidney disease. Also regional variations (see Phoenix CO2 dome).

Submariners are typically younger and healthier than the gen pop though.

But was it constructive procrastination? For me that's finding something that needs to be done but I like doing to avoid doing another thing that needs doing but I dislike.

First 80 degree days here in NC forecast for the weekend. We pay for it in the summer though.

I come from a military family and grew up on military bases. So I find both the fetishization and the denigration of the people who serve bizarre. But I suppose those things aren't surprising if so many Americans don't actually know anyone in the military.

Well his Dad brutalized the country for 28 years before being overthrown. So maybe not an insane choice but certainly a puzzling one.

Yup. Army brat here. I spent a good chunk of my childhood going to schools on US military bases. We have lots of such schools both here and abroad.

Yeah you're probably right about that.

Mocking the death of someones child is not OK. At the same time the woman saying she is getting closure about her sons death in a pointless war based on false premises because Trump started another war also based on false premises is bizarre.

Correct. And it's not common even for senior officers though it appears to be happening more than in the past.

After their initial service commitment is completed officers can resign their commission and some senior officers have done so. The resignation does not have to be accepted based on the needs of the service.

I was an army brat. I attended schools, both here and abroad, located on US military bases. As did hundreds of thousands of children of military personnel over the last 70 years and the US still has hundreds of schools on our military bases.

We have one right on main campus at NCSU.

Her obsession with Hilarys emails seems so quaint these days though. Pretty astonishing what qualifies as a scandal now compared to 2016.

As they wish makes me think a lot of money will get diverted to things that have little of nothing to do with science.

After the fact attempt to justify his dumb ass comments from the other day? Like Sharpie marks on a weather map?

My work machine has 256 Gbytes of ECC RAM in it. Cost about $6K when purchased a couple of years ago. Just the RAM is more than that now.

Absolutely. Latency can be reduced using lower orbits but that makes drag worse. Going back to solar flares we saw the impact of drag on Starlink sats during a fairly small flare (compared to a Carrington type event) in 2022.

Sure but radiation levels can be orders of magnitude larger during large solar flares. Sats can be designed for this but that increases costs relative to a ground based DC. At some point any economic justification for orbiting AI falls apart.

I've loved the idea of humans colonizing space some day. But the reality is no one would want to live in the conditions that exist any place we can get to in the foreseeable future.

LOL. I only have so much time. Happy to spend some of it on a productive discussion. Which this no longer is.

Interesting discussion style you have there. Demand evidence, be given it, move goalposts, then make assertions and spew insults based on no evidence at all. I'm no fan of Platner, Fetterman or Bernie. I do recognize that purity tests are a bad idea in a diverse coalition though.

Understood. I was thinking of how to move the heat from the GPUs to the radiators.
