NuScale power just got approval a month or two ago, and is working on their small (50MW reactors)

We are doing that. Going to give each of them some shares, so we can teach them how stocks work

I have read the manual many times. But when I only run into an issue once every 6 months to a year or so, its not exactly fresh on the mind. I still like to look it up again, to make sure I'm not working wrong from memory, and about t

I agree. Some would call my family preppers, but we live in an area likely to be devastated by a major earthquake. We wanted at least 2 weeks of supplies, water, etc in case of it. We actually were closer to a month. People thought we we

This makes me curious.. As a sysadmin, the firewall is almost always blamed (or some imaginary change in the "system"). But often, simple things like DNS are the actual cause. I wonder what the equivalent most common blame and a

I pay federal and state income tax, plus my employer pays payroll taxes, plus property tax. My state has no sales tax, but pretty high property tax. Plus, my employer and I pay about $1800 a month for healthcare, plus a few hundred a mont

The whole move to streaming is going to not live up to it's promise. I have no intention to sign up for multiple services, and figure out which one has the content I want. I got rid of cable because I was tired of 500 channels and not

My thought too. Think between Amazon (or UPS/Fedex/Walmart) distribution centers/warehouses. Still have a driver do the last mile, for deliveries to stores, homes, etc, but the between cities, long haul routes seem ripe for

Great idea, until your flight is 2 hours late, and you missed your train

Is this surprising? For Combustion Engines, my HD pickup weighs 8000lbs, and also gets much worse mileage than a typical Sedan. The difference is, I'm guessing the Sedan can't pull my 9,000lb trailer very well.

That is one part, yes, but the bigger item is it's banned city wide. Not just police and government, but businesses, schools, etc.

Hilariously, if it's a work computer, and your employer uses office365 for email, etc, those accounts don't work.

The Obama Administration tried to build high speed rail from Chicago to Madison, WI. It was supposed to be the first segment that would eventually extend to the twin cities. They have $700M dedicated to it. Then WI had an election for gov

At my last job, I ran about 50 servers running Oracle Standard Edition. (Enterprise Edition would have taken each $25k license to something like $600k for our dual core servers). I was Sysadmin, not a developer, so I have different pain po

There is one by me that is on the roof of a water park. 6 water slides start from the fuselage. https://www.wingsandwaveswaterpark.com/ Of course, it's next door to, and both started by the guy who ran the now defunc

The whole point of this system is that its also quick to install, and cheap. Its not a custom designed for each mega site type of setup like traditional reactors. Solar is going to have fun in places like Alaska.

You mean the teachers at my school district that regularly spend $3m/year on diesel fuel for busing students (and the drivers wages, half the drivers are 'temps') that are sitting unused?

That is part of it, the other part is the homes of paradise did not take 'best practices' into account for their homes. (or town, that one narrow road out seems like a deadly bottleneck) There were many news articles at the time t

Also Willammette Valley. I was excited to look up this morning, and be able to both tell where the sun was, and see the outline of clouds through the smoke. Its been a week now. Still horrible outside, but definitely improved.

They are stuck with the liability, because President Carter Banned reprocessing of Uranium in 1977, and nobody has changed it. If we reprocessed Uranium, we would end up with much less low level waste, and some very, very small amounts of

Oregon and Washington have passed bills to just that, but both bills require all 3 states in time zone to do it, so waiting on CA.

Yeah, it used to be (a year or two back) GotoMeeting and Webex were the 'big 2' and now, they hardly get mentioned.

If only we could replace these old, baseload reactors quicker, and cheaper, and maybe with an identical, smaller design, with better tech so one control room could monitor multiple reactors. And if refuelling could be done without turning

It's not just the drivers salary, it's finding drivers (up till covid, trucking companies were getting desperate and jacking up rates here) and the rules about hours behind the wheel. Self driving trucks don't have drug test

Until I moved west in 2017, I lived 4 miles from Madison, WI (one exit south of the beltline) and the best I could do was a WISP that was $62/month for 2 Mbps down and 250Kbps up

When the virus hit China, it had around a 4% death rate. Now, in the US, we have 5.6M confirmed cases, and 175k deaths. That is 3% death rate. (although, deaths lag behind diagnosis) You're right, its less than they first feared, but
