I got a good laugh out of the "unblur to verify" first image. I dont know what I was expecting to see.

Somewhat moot point but official website insists it is NOT a fire https://chiquitacanyon.com/odor-mitigation/recent-updates/ >>Any odors coming from the Chiquita Canyon Landfill are related to an abnormal bi

Is this one of those cases where Apple didn’t invented, but they did crash the price per unit?

The permits are supposed to provide a review of the proposed discharge, usually requires a public notice and review period, and ensures compliance. I assume this Texas permit is typical to that end. While permits CAN be “just red tape”, per

It's not a weird thing to say, it's what has happened. We used to have vehicle inspections, now we dont, vehicular pollution can be horrible in Memphis, even our city buses frequently pour out black smoke, but no lawsuits or front

I just bought a Switch 2 for my kids and I am very impressed with it. Yes, pricing for games and components is wild, but so is everything else these days. The Switch software is very good, the kids love it, Nintendo online retro games are a

I live in Memphis, none of this is true. What is true is that there is a concerted effort to smear anything related to xAI‘s presence in Memphis for some reason. For some facts, the colossus data center is next-door to a steel mill and city

if you can fast charge in 5 minutes, why do you need the cost and weight of a 500 mile range 130kwh battery?

Document fraud is both incredibly easy and pervasive. There’s a mentality of “I jumped through the hoop, now you can’t get me.” They aren’t taking blood tests or staking out your homes (I don’t think…)

Surveillance State? They already have all kinds of data on you, including your child’s vaccination records, security cameras throughout the building, supposed home addresses, and parental information. I assume you have to have your ID scann

It’s not fear, it’s cost-benefit, and it would take all the trucks in the middle east to move a tiny portion of the export that typically goes via ship. It would be easier and more aligned for Qatar, UAE, Saudis to pay mercs to keep the str

My thoughts. The escorts serve little benefit to the US given the risk. US doesn’t “need” the Persian gulf exports as much as other countries (who could run their own minesweeping operations). Iran mining Hormuz is a feature not a bug for U

I never tell people I comment online. No one I know knows my Reddit username (as far as I know…). Few of my friends even know what HN is.

I seriously long for a free transit solution in my city, Memphis. We already pay for 90% of the operating cost anyway via various taxes, and fareboxes frequently cost more than they bring in. If I am a citizen paying property taxes in the c

I was hoping to see a comment like this. These sorts of “global collaborations” seem to always end with the US carry all the water, and the goal from the other countries perspective is to throttle the US. Like the Paris Accords.

Sorry- yes there’s a used market, but the pricing is essentially handling and refurb cost. used panels are sold by the pallet for the price of a new single panel. Vastly different from a used car industry. That being said… I might buy a pa

Wait solar panels?? No one is buying used solar panels. They degrade rapidly and the cost of the panel is a small piece of the overall install

It's a byproduct of a lot of oil production while also having its own reserves. My office used to look at an oil refinery that was miles away, and they were just burning the natural gas off in a huge plume, not worth trying to capture

Seems like people confuse the old school "gas peakers" which are basically just simple generators burning gasoline or diesel designed to be used intermittently, and advanced combined cycle natural gas, which are incredibly efficie

Hyundai has a known track record of circumventing the law in the US, but you’d rather assume innocence. Can’t help that you side with child labor trafficking. The wrongful arrests aren’t a death sentence, it’s an inconvenience of getting c

Amazing that someone so acclaimed can write something so foolish. Buybacks can be good, buybacks can also be bad, like any other financial management decision. The same buyback can be good for some people, and less advantageous for others.

You assume ATF is lying at face value, thats fine. Remember that they also have access to paystub info, tax filings, etc, for workers at this plant. They already know who they are looking for. It's plain foolishness to think this was j

'Many' in the context of a claim of illegal detention, can and should be given a more precise number, otherwise it's fair to assume a narrative is being sold. ATF Atlanta claims 450 workers are 'unlawful aliens'. A

Unless the big data centers are entering into mandatory load reduction during high strain on the system, then theres going to be an increased cost to the little buyers. The tradeoff is that Utilities can upgrade their systems and improve up

Texas had to pay a bitcoin miner to shave load... that hurts, not helps? Helping would be a mandatory brownout for excessive users.
