All true. It would be easiest to lay in heart of the city where it is most dense to attract more customers per square mile.

Ideally, the utilities are made public and regulated by the public, but nationalizing or bringing it under state control is an even harder political sell.

I’ll have to spread the word one way or another, which will be tough when so much is happening these days.

If it could be done, it would be in Seattle, given that the city owns its Utilities already.

I’m in Washington State, but I’m not a native of WA. I imagine they would be at least receptive to the idea.

Edit: WA does allow towns and municipalities to provide their own utilities.

Thanks

Yeah, I’ve been saying for years that anything that isn’t us sleeping, fucking, or running after our food is just made up by people.

The system can and does change, we just need it to change for the better of the majority, and in a day and age where we are as connected together as we are, we have the capability to actually utilize the advantage we have in numbers.

Laying fiber lines can be done by the city. Building server farms can be done at the city level. The municipality, depending on size, would have the resources to make a MAN. I understand that the most difficult aspect of implementing it is politics.

I ask because I am tired of corporate pig shit finding more and more insane ways of extracting money from every single minutia of our lives. Especially with services like utilities that have a monopoly because of the physical nature of the infrastructure.

We will have claw back our rights one at a time.

I think we are getting to a point in the US where people are just going to start ignoring the government. People don’t subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don’t provide value in return.

It’s funny because all of the imperial units are mathematically based on metric anyway.

I’m an American, so I started with imperial units, but I am making the very slow progression of converting to metric. I already use metric for work, and it’s already the scientific standard here and has been since the 70s. It’s just turbo annoying to try and get used to a new measuring system that I use reflexively especially when surrounded by imperial units. Makes it too easy to trip up and fall back.

Linux: Pain will be your teacher.

That one is particularly funny because they have to be completely unaware of the overwhelming number of 5-9 servers, super computers, and even the space station that use Linux explicitly for its stability.

In all fairness, it the British peoples’ fault for coming up with goofy names for non goofy matters.

Sword of Damocles remains undefeated.

Nuclear is actually one of the safest forms of power, with the corollary that competency is the norm in the industry. I spent years in the Naval Nuclear program and they have not had an uncontrolled release of radioactive contamination to the public in the 80 year history of the program.

Three Mile Island killed nobody, and the reactor they are restarting had been operating up until 2015.

While I am less than pleased that it’s basically all going to Microdick’s AI centers, it’s important not to lump nuclear power in by guilt by association.

Every triangle is a love triangle if you love triangles.

Let me put this into perspective.

390 MW is enough power for roughly 390,000 homes.
