There's a lot of people here who support nuclear because glowing stuff making power is cool, and for no other reason. They then constructed a shambolic cluster of borrowed bullshit to support their belief, which it doesn't; they're holding it up all on their own, and none of that crap is meaningful at all when we factually don't need nuclear. Maybe we did once, but we sure don't now.
Exactamente. I had friends that got stop-lossed for Iraq. Even if I were morally bankrupt enough to sign up for a four year stint potentially murdering people so that oil companies or Halliburton can make more profit, I wouldn't be dumb enough to believe they wouldn't keep me for longer.
Show me the flow chart how your panties got into such a bunch on a Saturday
Well, friend, it involves a student loan that I was promised I had a ~3% rate locked in on which is currently only not accruing over 6% because of SAVE which the rapeublicans want to destroy.
If only my Pine64 hadn't killed itself in less than a year, I might trust them to do hardware. I wouldn't buy a raspiphone either.
Given how fast it happened they would have been simultaneously roasted and crushed.
Crush-roasted is exactly how I like my oligarchs.
We canucks have this idea that irresponsible CEOs shouldn't be allowed to go around killing people.
That's not a thing that happened. What happened there is that six people decided to die in a can together. Anyone who knew anything about this project knew it was shit. Tons of us Slashdotters, who had no skin in the game whatsoever as we were neither investors nor even potential passengers knew enough about it to know that it was a folly. We knew this solely from freely publicly available information. Everyone who got on that sub either chose to risk their lives on what was obviously a shit idea, or chose to not find out whether they were risking their lives on a shit idea when they could have found out from the phone they carry everywhere with them, in a matter of minutes.
Mostly I feel bad for that kid
He was 19. Don't infantilize adults.
Taken on its face, ascertaining whether the claimants were speaking wholly as private citizens or as Amazon associates is a reasonable action to take.
No, it is not, and suggesting that is only one thing involving a taste for leather.
If I had gotten in public, declared my affiliation, and proceeded to undermine the company, no matter how right I was I would have expected to be fired. Would not even have occurred to me that it shouldn't happen.
Thanks for really ramming your culinary proclivities home.
Student loans have a higher-than-market rate because there is increased risk to the lenders.
There's increased risk from this loan you can only discharge through death, or through a program that people are getting cheated out of eligibility for that pays back the lender? Could you draw us a flowchart showing how you came to that conclusion?
Most of those people don't care. If you see the world as "us against them," you don't really care how similar "them" is, as long as "us" is on top.
Tricking them into thinking they're on top while they're pushing themselves down is the true heart of religion.
the reason they went with EGR in the first place is because they don't want to deal with the logistics of supplying loco fleets with DEF. Using EGR and DEF would completely defeat the purpose.
It's fairly common for non-locomotive diesels to use both EGR and DEF. The locomotives are irrelevant to the discussion since it's about trucks. Pickups and OTR trucks will both commonly have both.
So far 2/2 of the comments I've come back to this morning have been irrelevant. I wonder if I can get a hat trick...
The OP was referring to an event in European history that has had important consequences lasting for centuries. Maybe you should do a little research on it and make another reply that addresses that event.
Why? That event is irrelevant to this specifically because the situation is so different, which their own comment points out. I especially appreciated that from them because it made it clear that they (and you) are not taking that into account.
These activities alone should disqualify a site from Section 230 protections.
Removing section 230 protections isn't the fix. Once you start opening that door there's no closing it. It absolutely will be done unfairly. Algorithmically displaying content has legitimate uses. The question is, how do you regulate only the harmful ones? I like seeing what I'm looking for, so I want algorithmic content, I just don't want the algorithms to be designed to make me feel bad.
DEF systems on heavy vehicles work, but they're fairly, well, heavy.
They aren't. There's a reservoir, a pump, and an injector, besides the SCR. But the SCR is already present, it's just a little different in systems with DEF.
Among other thing, they use electrical heat to get up to operating temperature.
That's for freezing conditions. There's a resistor in the reservoir, big whoop.
Then there's the issue of needing the fluid. For earthmoving equipment and railway locos, they'd rather not deal with that and have gone with complex EGR systems with liquid cooling instead.
Cooled EGR is not an either-or to DEF. You can have both.
Indeed, it's extremely laughable to think that Muslims are all Democrats, when they are part of a conservative faith. It's exactly like believing that evangelical Christians are all Democrats.
Unfortunately, most people aren't going to take the step to figure out that their conservatism is just like the conservatism of the people rejecting them.
Programming is an unnatural act.
