I'm sure the other rock/liquid/gas burning plants have had no issues along their lifetime and had no hand in demonizing the "new" slowly exploding rock technology after extreme negligence let the one big one happen. /s
I'd take the band aid of nuclear in my backyard vs what we rely on now after learning all of the insider knowledge of someone who personally worked in energy generation that did all of this plus renewables almost their entire professional life.
You just reminded me of an awful joke my mom made many times about partying like it's 1999 which I'm sure you're referencing. Many times I asked her what our plans were and she would start singing that line in cringier and cringier ways that I groaned more and more as a kid, teenager, and adult. She passed unexpectedly a few years back.
All that to say, thanks for the rare reference I haven't heard since, and I internally groaned again. I hope you have people to groan about it like I do you cheeky devil.
That fight was exceptional and the brow cut was so hard to watch. If the 3rd match wasn't there the whole thing would've been a waste of time as a casual watcher. 2nd match was good but wouldn't have pulled my attention by itself. 1st one seemed bush league.
I'd argue the 1st one was weak where the winner couldn't even punch with his left hand. Just kinda swatted like a kitten. The title card just sucked so bad you might've lowered your standards to say it was amazing.
Yeah the most upsetting part is that a soulless cash grab between a historically great athlete that could've not gotten involved and a hack influencer with a strong following of youths happened at all. It's teaching young minds that money means everything and tricks them into thinking any part of this fight was fair or real. It makes boxing look bad, especially after watching a very legitimate and hard fought match minutes earlier. Jake needs to fight someone who's a real competitor. No more retirees, basketball players, etc. If this was two old guys boxing then it would have felt very different to me. The match sucked and the viewer was the biggest loser throughout all of it.
I totally agree with your outlook and made a pretty similar post to yours a couple minutes ago. My only addition would be some concern as to why it seems like attacks are causing the downtime. The attacks do encourage improvement, but why do it in the first place. I'm hoping bored enthusiasts. At least it wouldn't be BS corporate attacks trying to eliminate competition.
As a user with pretty limited knowledge on servers, I appreciate how easy it is to flip from instance to instance. One goes down and I use a backup account somewhere else. I'm really not keeping close attention to which one I'm on at the moment. It gives me access and lets me comment/post. I'm not trying to build any profile so it doesn't matter. I could see a major poster or mod want multiple accounts with the same name for consistency sake though.
I've dabbled in the virtual assistants because I wanted to see what they can do. Siri (it's been years so I don't know if it improved), Alexa, Google, are all horse shit. Every time I try to use them it works like garbage. They either trigger incorrectly or try to implement something I don't want. The few times they do work correctly I don't trust them because of all the other garbage experiences so I have to double check what they did. That negates the entire point from a time and convenience standpoint.
It's crazy that Mr. Burns from the Simpsons was in nuclear and not coal or oil. Probably a product of the propaganda at the time.
