    Nolan's Oppenheimer

    At Pearl Harbor the biggest blunder the Japanese made was not attacking the fuel storage facilities. An easy target that could have been completely destroyed with little effort. Pearl had our only significant fuel reserves in the Pacific. The fleet would have been crippled for a prolonged...

    Nolan's Oppenheimer

    Tour Okinawa and you'll know why it was necessary to drop the atomic bomb. Millions of lives were likely saved with those two bombs, most of them Japanese civilian. Japanese culture did not allow for surrender. It's actually somewhat amazing the emperor made that decision even in the wake of...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Correct, Kia Hyundai were just the targets of a Tik Tok trend.

    Non-paranoid AI thread

    I'm sure that Colonel got his peepee schwacked for presenting that. Allegedly he presented at an AI conference in England, and then retracked the next day saying it was hypothetical and they didn't really run the test. In a virtual simulation, AI was tasked to independently destroy enemy...

    Non-paranoid AI thread

    Charging stations aren't the problem. Raw materials and power supply are. I suppose if we have enough gasoline generators it could work :)

    Well I'm convinced now, ASU to the Big 12 is a done deal.

    Residential Solar Panels

    The HOAs that I've had the misfortune of being associated with harassed people for the dumbest stuff while doing nothing to those who totally neglect their property. What color you want to paint your house is no business of mine even if I live next to you, but neglected yards full of weeds and...

    Residential Solar Panels

    I read that Iowa law does not allow HOA's to restrict rooftop solar, but this is all I could find in the code. "Iowa Code 564A.8. The law gives local city councils and county boards of supervisors the authority to implement ordinances prohibiting homeowners' associations or subdivisions from...

    Residential Solar Panels

    That is what I expect on most systems, but it seems few who have it will admit that. My total annual electric bill is somewhere in the $2000-2500 range. I've been quoted 60K on a non battery system, but suspect 30K price tag is more reasonably sized and priced system. Even considering the...

    Residential Solar Panels

    Disappointed with batteries, or the system.

    ***Official 2023 Weather Thread***

    My sister was born in Cedar Rapids during that storm. My mother was taken to the hospital in a sled pulled by a snowmobile.

    306,000 alumni could turn the tide

    I don't like NIL in ANY form. They are no longer college athletes; they are merely semi pro athletes with a college name on their backs. Already the most privileged "students" on campus want donations, which have nothing to do with NIL incidentally. It feels sort of like when I get the call...

    Cryptocurrency

    Crypto is just electronic fiat. The only thing it threatens is one fiat replacing another. All fiats are eventually worthless.

    Who ever the is person in charge of working with the offense should be fired on the spot

    It's not a crutch, it was a fact all season. Sometimes certain players would get hot, but they were offensively by far the least offensively talented team in the Big 12. Any team can get hot for a game, which is what your examples mostly are. You think Kennesaw state is going on a run? No...

    Silicon Valley Bank / Rippling

    He does hit the nail on the head with fractional banking being the cause (along with fiat currency), and like 2008 and every time before the taxpayer will end up footing the bill through debt and inflation when another private bank, the fed, "creates" liquidity. The only way things will ever...

    Stop!

    His forced shots are a DeFacto turnover. I can't tell you how many times a game I scream no, no, no Bob. Maybe one out of ten times I'm wrong and he scores. His missed shots are never rebounded as there is no one to rebound them and he often turns it over before shooting. He should only...
