You never heard of the Korean war? How much quiet fighting Scandanavian countries went through with the USSR, never mind the 11 wars Sweden and Russia have been in? None of that influenced economic and cultural decisions over the course of history? Really?
I'm also not a warhawk, and would prefer to build society as the engineer I am, not to fight. But our common enemy is wealthy, and motivated to destroy the planet by a mental disease they won't admit to. I'd rather not be violent, but it draws inexorably towards us, we cannot make decisions halfway through collapse.
Enjoy your stolen valor, served alongside a well-broiled cut of historical ignorance 🙄
Seems like it was what they could afford. It puts the plant right near the core of the city where it's most needed, and right next to the fuel transfer station for the whole island makes logistics yet simpler.
Why it's floating vs on land, I truly don't know. I expect it's because the city was already historical and built up (the DR being Columbus' first landing place in the Americas).
Some countries depend on them, Dominican republic for example. According to the locals it's been reliable except during hurricanes, but that's an extreme.
Worse, I believe you have a comprehension problem.
Multiple great wins for their citizens, with universal healthcare, a great aerospace lineage, reliable and low cost energy to help their industries grow, low to no cost higher education. A robust, healthy farm industry, high regard for planetary health among citizens, and a very reasonable work-life balance.
All they had to do was demand it. You're too chickenshit to even dream about it. Pathetic.
"Joke" isn't complete without some shear diagrams too.
The "without eigenvectors" being uttered by lunatics is exactly how I felt about some of my professors, so maybe this joke is a little too realistic. 😅
So I've heard and read. Fwiw, I was reading into the state of the art many years ago when fingerprinting was more nascent, I expect it's matured and gotten yet more advanced in the time since (unfortunately).
Guess I gotta pause working on interesting, net-positive work for a little bit to see where things are, and how to properly combat it, lest I give out poor advice again.
