Comment CHINA. (Score 0) 90

China has built a TON (no pun intended) of coal/gas plants, but they also have built a LOT of huge solar panel farms out in the desert along with those solar mirror things. A lot of people are suspecting that they are pushing a ton of money in "the west" to push the narrative that AI data centers are bad for the environment (I'm not saying they aren't either), but, by getting the public to push back on AI data centers, China hopes to "capture the market" on data centers like they have on rare earth minerals, pharmacy drugs and on and on.

Buddy of mine, he's a HUGE Star Wars fan. I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan. We've traded barbs at each other for 30 years. He said that he saw it and said it STINKS! Disney screwed up the franchise. 160 million in production + another 100-150 million in advertising and what not. It needs to make over 300-350 million to just BREAK EVEN. DOUBT that will happen.

Comment Screens! (Score 0) 132

Too many screens, too much doom scrolling. Kids are not educated these days. They lack critical thinking because they don't have to think. They just say "hey google" (or whatever). Go back to pencil & paper in schools. Also PARENTS need to take active rolls in their kids education.

Comment DONE with the woke Bond (Score 0) 68

Nothing against Craig...good actor but I was done with the Bond movies after his first one. I grew up on the ORIGINAL Bond movies. Bond girls, Bond villains, Bond humor. Now, everything is politically correct trash! Unless they GO BACK to how the Bond movies were, I won't bother. Pretty much the same for the Star Wars movies. Hollywood does that. Milk the cow until it is nothing more than DRIED BEEF JERKY!

Comment Ahhh the good ole days (Score 0) 42

Where you waited (usually) until after 7pm to make a "long distance" phone call. And when you received a long distance call from the operator, who would call you and tell you that you had a long distance call, you knew it was pretty bad if they "called long distance". Funny that you could make a "local" call in your neighborhood, but someone several miles away was considered "long" distance.

Comment No one wants one (Score 0) 214

1. Too expensive 2. Range 3. Charging network, especially for those who live in apartments Pretty much anyone that wanted one, has one. For urban areas, they aren't a bad thing. But for people that live in flyover country, where you live and or work on a farm etc, it's just not practicle. Personally, I'm waiting for Doc Brown to develop the flux capacitor & the Mr. Fusion reactor. ;)
