I know, while I was still working a day job, that I saw a number of utterly stupid job ads for "entry leve", "must have 2 or 3 or 5 years experience".

Exactly how's he gonig to build this spaceport? Will he build an artificial cliff 20m or so high, so that as sea levels rise, it's not underwater? And what's he going to do to protect against hurricanes, which WILL hit it?

For those that don't know (most of you), KSC was built on an island where hurricanes *don't* usually hit - they go north or south of it, which is why it sticks out the way it does.

You need to hit the restroom, you're so full of bullshit.

Middle class where the money is? Owning a house is *exactly* the same as having money (I pay part 1 of my property taxes next month, and I do NOT have the money this house is allegedly worth)?

Meanwhile, your homework is to see how many billionaires, and how many billion and trillion dollar companies paid ANY income tax.

Oh, you mean the industry made great by *engineers*, that was taken over by Friendmanite* MBAs?

* ROI isn't just everything, it's the only thing

You mean the "centrist" Dems, aka "neoliberals", or, as I refer to them, Reagan Republicans in blue suits?

Yep.

Why do you think people are voting for DSA candidates running as Dems? They're *really* tired of GOP posing as Dem. (And I'm a boomer, and trust me, I never voted for those scum.)

is the srouce of flock's hardware. And Axion.

I don't own a smartphone. I do what I need in firerox on Linux on my actual computer, with a 24" monitor, not a tiny screen with microscopic fonts.

Nothing wrong wth Joe's steam tractor, so no problem if they buld a steel mill next to me.

You don't understand the difference between a current datacenter, and a hyperscale one.

So, you skimmed what I wrote, and then applied your own ideological filter to rewrite what I wrote, and attack that.

Shoe me where I claimed to speak for "all Democrats"? You might look up Robert Reich's column on the final fading of the corporate Democrats...

"invisible hand of the free market"? Excuse me while I ROTFL. I see Mu$k is willing to spend $200M to get someone a seat in the Senate. Explain to me how that's "free market".

Carrier pigeons? RFC 1132 (my fav).

You'll get my 56k modem when you pry it from my cold, dead hands (ok, it's in the box behind me, with the 40-pin cables...)

You're an ideological asshole.

"Moral panic"? So, they're not building, or want to build, a lot of datacenters where there's been drought for several years? UTAH? Or that industrial farming as it's done in the US has been drawing down the aquifer in the Great Plains to where they were already worrying?

And, of course, you're posting from the basement, having never seen, much less driven by a datacenter. I have been INSIDE a "normal" datacenter, at the NIH, and would have loved earplugs, but I had to speak to the person I was working with. Look around, there's a ton of recordings of what it sounds like driving by one. AND the vibration.

All of that, of course, ignores the fact that in three years, all the installed hardware will be obsolete, and the entire innards rebuilt (if they have the money, and the crash hasn't happened). And the tax breaks they want will NEVER be paid for.

So bugger off, ignorant troll

Hell, no. A week or two ago, we were coming back at night, and my wife, in the navigator seat, hit the map... and I suddenly have this REALLY BRIGHT SCREEN in the middle of my dash, and it's dark out - I was havintg trouble seeing the road.

And, of course, I looked around, and there's NO WAY to stop "Your Sirius Trial Has Started" *every* time I turn on the engine. And there was the story on /. the other week about BMW showing ADS (do not own a BMW)...

Actually, *I* AM a socialist. And you're a "Democrat" like I'm the King of England.

You're an ignorant fascist who has NO IDEA what the words socialist (or communist, for that matter), and think it's a naughty word.

Why you're on sladhdot, "news for nerds", when you wouldn't be caught dead in the RW with nerds - you're so stupid that you're not getting paid to post this propaganda. Go away, and enjoy your $4.50/gal gas, and the price of a restaurant meal is 150% of what it was before your deity chased all the farmworkers out of the US.

I first got an account more than a dozen years ago, because that was the only way to find someone selling their Worldcon membership.

Then it turned into the only way to get my kids to talk to me, and friends who don't check their email for two weeks at a time.

Then my first novel, and later my second novel were published (small press, fuck self-publish), and as a writer, I *had* to be there.

I LOATHE it. They're all "devops", meaning that they break things constantly and fix them (partly) IN PRODUCTION.
