Cool, so implement them legally, through Congress. Where they have input from actual economic experts that at least have a minimum understanding of the economy. Not just because someone hurt Trump's feefees and he reacts like the petulant child he is.
All the current tariffs will do is kill the actual US-based businesses they're supposedly supposed to help. Because foreign businesses can just stop selling in the US market and focus elsewhere, the US businesses don't have that option and instead just have to pay upwards of 140% MORE, in many cases more spent on tariffs than their entire product would sell for. Sudden changes like that just kill businesses.
US consumers don't have an extra 150% increase in their paychecks to go along with the price increases from the tariffs. I'd love to more than double my current pay. If that happened, I'd happily pay the increased tariff pricing.
That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.
Dug into it, got into Memtest’s source code and discovered that the first pass is shorter on purpose so that it quickly flags obviously bad RAM. Apparently if you want to detect less obvious issues, you have to run multiple passes.
I thought it was common knowledge that Memtest needed to be run for multiple passes to truly verify there are no issues. Seems that's one of those things that stopped being passed down in the community over the years. Back when I was first learning about overclocking around 2005 that was emphasized HEAVILY, with the recommendation to run it at least overnight, and a minimum of 10 passes.
I wouldn't say a red flag at this point, every fucking company says it now, regardless of size. But it is something to take note of and watch closer. Just wait until you see what kind of family before really committing.
Is it a dysfunctional family that expects everyone to go above and beyond for nothing on return and punishes you for not? Or is it a family that pays attention to when things are happening outside work to help in any way because they actually get that happier employees work better?
You find out weed doesn't do any of the shit they said it did... Now absolutely everything they claimed is called into question. Why would they lie about X but not about Y?
DARE did more to make people learn that police cannot be trusted apart from maybe their general violent tendencies.
Oh my bad, meant to say Roberts. Get the fuckers confused nowadays. Defending the fact that the Judiciary is an equal branch of government and the concept of basic checks and balances.
Idk Thomas has been saying some shit recently that makes it seem like he might be getting tired of Trump's shit.
Would be hilarious if Trump and Co try to defang the Supreme Court and they just decide to strike down Executive Orders as broadly unconstitutional for anything beyond directing basic executive branch actions, because they are not laws.
As expected. Would like to point out that they were the only ones from the listed carriers that notified all customers, prior to being asked by the Senator's office.
I decided years ago that since everyone wanted my info, I might as well just pick one instead of spreading it around everywhere. So I'm heavily invested in the Google ecosystem across the board.
Don't forget the more than 200 nuclear powered ships currently puttering their way around the world, both above and below the surface. Not to mention the numerous research and testing reactors that don't product grid energy.
And that doesn't even get into things like RTGs used on spacecraft and in extremely remote regions where traditional fuels would be nearly impossible to transport reliably. Not technically a reactor in the traditional sense of what people think of as a reactor there, but nuclear energy all the same. The USSR built more than 1,500 of those alone while they were around.
And even ignoring all of those, alternative reactor designs like Thorium molten salt reactors can't meltdown if cooling systems fail, because the fuel used doesn't generate heat requiring constant cooling like that.
The only reason most designs we have in use now are uranium based is because that can be used to create weapons, so that's where the research went.. alternatives like Thorium can't, despite the fuel being much more abundant.
Chernobyl also had known design defects the Soviets chose to ignore because they couldn't admit their precious atomic program was even capable of having a flaw.
And even with those defects, it required a very specific and normally unlikely sequence of events and multiple warnings being ignored before the core melted down.
There are plenty of waste solutions. Most nuclear waste is actually short lived, either a few days or a few years. Most waste is not the long life stuff, the waste issue has been blown way out of proportion by groups that are simply against nuclear in general, not using facts based on reality.
In the UK for instance (readily available numbers):
94% – low-level waste (LLW)
~6% – intermediate-level waste (ILW)
<1% – high-level waste (HLW)
Numbers will be similar elsewhere for uranium based reactors.
The bigger issue that no one ever wants to talk about is how much other radioactive material is not accounted for from other power sources. People talk.about radiation from nuclear obviously, but what about the nuclear material ejected directly into the atmosphere from other power plants?
For instance, the amount of ash produced by coal power plants in the United States is estimated at 130,000,000 tons per year, and fly ash is estimated to release 100 times more radiation than an equivalent nuclear plant. Meanwhile, a 1000-megawatt nuclear power plant produces about 27 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel (unreprocessed) every year. And remember, it is the airborne radioactive elements causing most issues during incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
If a nuclear plant released the amount of radioactive material a coal plant does in just an hour it would be an international nuclear incident.
