This is probably an unpopular opinion but I don't care.

Reddit is a BUSINESS. What is the point of a business? To make money. That's not wrong.

It currently costs nothing to start a sub, moderate a sub, and so on.

If you don't like a change that a business makes in order to stay profitable, fine. Leave. Go somewhere else. START YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

But bitching and complaining and acting like a 5 year old with the "FINE! I'll take my ball and go home" attitude does no one any good. It only makes you look petty.

Only the date.

Hard to say. There a crap ton of extra piping all over the place inside a Tier 4. And wiring/sensors too.

What I donâ(TM)t get is why we canâ(TM)t use some kind of coil cleaner on them. The device looks internally like the fins on an air conditioner condenser. The GE-spec for cleaning them is literally just hot water. No cleaning solutions, no solvents, just pressurized hot water.

Why not try some coil cleaner or a solvent that will help dissolve the crap on the fins? Then maybe they would last a lot longer and wouldnâ(TM)t have to be changed out all the time.

You're not wrong. Even on the GEVO Tier 4 locomotives, we can only clean the EGR cooler once and then it has to be entirely swapped out. It's not a small task. More than half the time we try to clean the EGR cooler on a Tier 4 it doesn't work anyway and we end up swapping it out. No small task. I forget the service interval on the EGR cooler, maybe 6 months? Our shop doesn't see a lot of them but I've definitely worked on them, including the EGR cooler portion.

The Tier 4 units themselves are such a clusterf to work on too.

Absolutely correct. EVERY locomotive on the tracks today (aside from a tiny handful of vintage steam engines) is diesel electric.

But I don't know if you could reasonably get enough current from overhead lines. Maybe. I work on locomotives every day but I'm a pipefitter, not an electrician. I do know that the GEVO Tier 4 locomotives (highest/strictest emissions one out there) can generate around 2,500 amps if my calculations are accurate. The spec says 3.3 megawatts. Most trains will have multiple locomotives.

So one of those locomotives can power about 540 homes. Figure 3 per train or so. Catenary lines to power 1,600 homes. Where's that power going to come from?

And heck, according to the specs from GE who makes that Tier 4 locomotive, when they tested it for EPA emissions in Los Angeles, the exhaust was literally CLEANER than the ambient air being drawn into it for combustion. And yet even that isn't good enough for California?!?!?

Why would China go to such great lengths if this virus was entirely naturally occurring in bats in a cave somewhere?

Now if it had escaped from a Chinese lab, it would make more sense that they'd try to censor everything.

Not to mention the enormous toxicity of the battery manufacturing process. Gotta keep supporting the child labor mining the raw materials in Africa and China!

I've seen more places with wireless charging pads. Those should be fine.

And XM Radio

This vehicle doesn't just magically charge itself though. How is it charged? Most likely diesel generators at the station where it is based.

What about poor 'ol Pluto?

Maybe I can get it running on my SE/30!

Uhhh, my son watches Disney+ on a Linux laptop via Chrome all the time.
