Of the data center rollouts I've been contracted to do safety systems for, ALL of them have gas turbines as part of their power infrastructure on property. They don't solely have gas, but they are mixed Solar/Gas every time.

>Such a rule should apply to any industrial use such as a new factory, if it is to exist at all, which it shouldn't. A factory produces tangible goods, and tends to get less hate because of that reality.

Our corporation gives us worthless certificates for "money", that only pay out conditionally based on if the company gets re-evaluated for worth. Our 401K match maxes out at $50 per paycheck.

I find it hard to believe 50%, but we are not doing well down here. Homeless populations have increased massively and the average cost of a single bedroom apartment has gone from $500-1150 in my area since I moved here in 2008. Meanwhile th

As a gulf state resident, a whole lot of us live in shitty old shotgun houses that have been patched up hundreds of times just waiting for the next hurricane to wipe us out finally. I would assume this doesn't account for Germans havin

Yeah it sucks. Since then I've tried to better vet retro tech groups before inviting more friends along. It seems rather unfortunate that more often than not old hardware enthusiast groups come with old beliefs. Things are much better

Knoppix 1.0 is still my first experience of linux that worked right out of the box. Forever gave me a fondness for live CD/DVD booting.

Yeah for drums I still rely heavily on my sample library I've built up from other hobby music friends, sound library cd/dvd purchases, and freesound.org digging. But it works for IDM/Industrial stuff I do.

Ah yeah I forgot the eSprinter and Rivian Van because they are both $80k-100K depending on how you outfit them. Similarly the GM BrightSpot Vans (which are now dead as a platform). Although if you get lucky you can find used GM Bright Spots

400 miles of driving a month in my EV van which gets on average 1.7 miles/kwh is around 235.3 kwh. At local rates that $16.47 in electricity (235.3 x $0.07). On average my electric bill went up 15-25 dollars a month. I spent the first

The Slate got swapped to LFP so you can take it down to 10% without care. I take my E-Transit down to single digits because I gotta make this 130 miles of range work for me. I max out around 80 miles between stops during winter road trippin

To be fair texas also has a fairly decent amount of charging stations at this point as well. I road trip my E-Transit from South Louisiana to Austin/Dallas all the time. Does it suck? Yeah kinda, but stopping every 1.5 hours to charge

If you keep your eyes on the market often enough you can even grab a Ford F-150 Lightning used for sub $35k and I've seen a few go sub $30k. They haven't devalued as fast as some of the other EV work vehicles. The E-transit was $

I really hope it gets a US market release. So far only Ford (e-transit) and VW (id.BUZZ) have attempted EV vans in the US and they both cost extreme amounts of money new. I bought an E-Transit anyway to setup as a Home/Office on wheels
