The only thing in modern life that is not changable is the time to report to school or work. Everything else one can opt out of seeing the start time, ever been bumped from the quiet 6:00am flight to the 9:30am flight on kids and family plan. The real adults show up and start the day when it fits their lifestyle. Make it 8:30am for the kids and 9:00am for the adults. Cut most industries off at the actual time everyone but Bob leaves 3:30 and pick the kids up from school at 4:00, let everyone out at 1:00pm on friday. Shrinkflation for labor. Work more than 30 minutes from your kids school, your an asshole and I do not support your lifestyle, but you be you, your wifes boyfriend might not insist on being called dad also.

One party gave us brain dead then word salad, and your upset with one personality in the other party. You mad a single clown at a passable circus, vs the carnival that let the lion eat the front row, and then upped ticket prices because a great show will happen again. Think you forget the trumps were rich before anyone got involved in politics, the Bidens only got rich when they had tied down jobs because of the old mans power on senate committees. Trump has 2 more years, the democrats being worthless pieces of shit continues since Bill Clinton figured out how to "influence people".

Comment Re:"reached orbit" is a misnomer (Score 1) 73

Per the rocket equation, stresses are higher on short filled (suborbital) rockets because they reach max Q at lower altitude and higher aerodynamic forces. We are reaching a point where the overall structure has a good set of flight data within a cheap (as percentage of total revenue expected) test program. Once above 100,000 feet 35,000m the stresses on the booster part reduce to points they never will again be at. Loading on near empty ship stucture with very little remaining fuel to support the structure is very intersting as reuse parameters need to be examined in near destructive conditions. The ship part I am impressed with the maturity of the failure plans, the data was captured, the mission goals were partially developed and a list of risks started to grow. Deorbiting and getting the re entry from orbit data happened and what appears to be a example of redundancy seemed to work well for both booster and ship. Overall is it as good as Saturn 5 after the test program? ....no. Does it have to be in early development 1/20th the cost per mass to LEO orbit and Lunar Orbit, no.

I am as excited for spacex on 200 starlink sats per mission as moon orbit with something around 50 metric tons as a household for lunar passengers. Landing on the moon for 72-120 hours is a step, think six months is going to be harder than expected. That for the US it can be tons and tons of national strategic assets this is cheap department of war application.

You do realize that Uranium, Cadmium, and other deposits in the earth's crust need not be on dry land, they are uplifted from the mantle of the earth by volcanic action mostly into the sea. That dissolution and deposition of near every element heavier than carbon is 99% the effect of seawater. Marine life thrives where current is mixing different sea waters of different bodies. People run radiological surveys on all the food groups, the ones with the most history is maze, wheat, cow, lamb and horse meat with fish and shellfish in quick sucession. The world takes the grain products of the Ukraine freely, and it was under widespread fallout just 40 years ago. Unless you are fishing in a known dumping zone, odds you find anything more radioactive per unit weight of a bannana are very slim. I have seen little research to say the Fukushima release of tritium has made the food chain of humans, I remind you tritium is the most detectable substance per unit weight or volume known.

What percentage of Apple products are made in the USA?

The vast majority of Apple products—including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks—are assembled in China by major manufacturing partners like Foxconn.India and Vietnam:

Apple has shifted a growing portion of its assembly (especially for iPhones bound for the U.S. market) to countries like India and Vietnam to diversify its supply chain.U.S.

Component Supply While final assembly happens overseas, Apple does source some raw materials, semiconductors, and specialized glass from U.S.-based partners (such as Corning and various chip fabricators) and invests heavily in domestic supplier programs, but the end products are assembled abroad.

Outside of Mexico or Canada, power being sold to America is in the form of fuel, you are a fucking idiot. Lot of this the press cannot seem to get beyond TDS, most of this equipment type is supply chain certainty on cast AL, transformer cores and some switchgear. All that was made in America until outsourcing of the 1990s. This is big sweet kiss to General Electric, if they had not long ago shut down the US manufacturing base of cast AL parts base.

Comment Datacenters should be net generators (Score 1) 72

Datacenters should be net generators at the point the wholesale electric prices hit anything close to what a US consumer is actually paying for the power part of their bill in nominal circumstances. There is no point in participating in the global tech brah workload when the power costs are double, quad or 10x the normal rate, there is always somewhere cheaper in the world for the cost of Latency. The whole regulatory environment has large customers paying almost nothing for power consumption that is curtailable, tracked, watched and managed while the little residential customer has no way to save even while installing 10k in storage and inverters to move power consumption around 72 hour periods or greater.

That battle is lost. Your usage of a public roadway on a licensed motor vehicle in most states clearly loses the individual the right to privacy and security of personal effects for anything exterior to the vehicle and exposes you to simple means of denying you right to privacy of things within with a very minor traffic stop. People walking on the sidewalk have just a bit more security but dare stumble in sight of police and even the walker is stopped. It is insane you need to be in leased or owned home to have the rights that are your birthright.

The science on the generation is not completed. Until we actually see how successful and well adjusted those people are at 50 we don't know, but I cannot really use those words with post millennials at this point. With the questioning and taking the troll in the basement king, taking the fifth about the real life social lockdowns, what liability does the media , pharma and medical industry have for their malpractice for releasing the social leaches and their useful mask hole idiots upon us.

The future method of Facebook protecting themselves is not to offer the service to under 16 or under 21-year-olds. So that crowd will move to newsnet, free republic, IRC and AOL instant messenger, and listen to conservative talk radio and podcasts. Surely there will be no trolls in that crowd. The world will get more generations like GenXers, productive and well suited human beings after we figure the impact of everyone being connected by trivial services delivered by insane amounts of network bandwidth.

Honestly everyone age 18 to 30 is probably owed tens of thousands in compensation by whomever supported the lab.
