@hexbear.netI think for Nucor they don't really care because it's a heck of a PR move, although I can't imagine it will work at all. The best anyone's gotten is like what a second of fusion?
Nucor basically recycles scrap into Steel versus the traditional method.
Because they are much smaller and therefore have less capacity, mini mills produce significantly less annual tons than integrated mills, but their operations can be slowed and even stopped to reflect market demand. The disadvantage of mini mills is their dependency on scrap: they are constrained by elements already in the steel scrap that cannot be removed, along with fluctuating scrap prices.
U.S. Steel's long history has left it with a heavy focus on blast furnaces. A newer technology that underpins steel industry giant Nucor's (NUE -0.78%) business is the electric arc mini-mill. To keep things simple, mini-mills are smaller and use electricity to melt scrap steel. These mills are easier to ramp up and down along with demand and tend to produce more consistent and resilient profits. To highlight how resilient electric arc mini-mills are, Nucor has increased its dividend every year for 50 consecutive years.
Yeah it's definitely massive carbrain. The dilemma is the stadiums we've gone to are probably ~10 - 15 minutes walk from the station. You can use a combination of busses and stuff to get right to the stadium but I always thought it was just easier to walk. Obviously when you can park right next to the stadium and then sit in traffic on the way out which is clearly amazing.
I feel this. For some reason lately I'm the only one who consistently ends up driving folks into different sporting events which happen to be in cities and denser areas. I would love to use the train more but everyone complains you have to walk a little bit to the stadiums and whatnot.
I've been seeing so much crazy stuff lately because of that I've started dreading driving anywhere.
It would be exceedingly funny if China uses this and can get down to 2nm chips or whatever. I'm not an expert on the subject but seems like what they're working on has the potential be better than what's currently used and licensed, if what I'm understanding is correct? I know one of the issues is we're pretty close to the smallest size physics will let chips go, not sure how much this helps there.
Considering the amount of budget it's wild how many issues there are. I get that the money is used inefficiently/ grifted /gifted straight into the defense industry. It's still continuously funny how all this funding in the world and the barracks suck. I mean who cares about the actual humans when we can have this whiz bang stealth gizmo that doesn't work?
Yeah I really really enjoyed it. It isn't a hard read and filled in some of the areas I had questions about in the transition to capitalism

Was one I caught someone recommending on here once and it's very good.
Oh I googled plane crash and saw one happened in Maine and that's what I thought we were talking about
Edit: Saw a video of Prigozhin's plane going down. If that's the plane they dropped like a rock
Comment might be a stream of consciousness, but it's a good one!
I'm a bit shocked how bad it is considering the Navy is cruising around in some of the most expensive military hardware America has. Let alone the fact that those ships and subs are manned by quite a few individuals.
No officer candidates want to be a Surface Warfare Officer, partly for the glory of being a pilot or running death squads but mostly due to the toxic reputation, so they dump all the fuck-ups in the surface community and compound the problem.
Curious what you fully mean here, like basically everyone wants to be on the seal teams or a pilot versus a ship officer? I can't imagine folks would want to be a submarine officer either.
7th Fleet, based out of Japan (Yokosuka and Sasebo), has the worst reputation out of all of the US fleet forces. Operational Tempo is high, with sailors spending at least 50% (but usually 75%+) of their time underway, and working hours in port are always long. That results in a culture of heavy drinking which, coupled with white supremacist imperialist propaganda dehumanizing the locals, leads to “Liberty Incidents” (“liberty” referring to time off work) where sailors assault locals.
Explains a lot really. I knew about the heinous or at minimum disruptive things the sailors get up to, but that extra background helps contextualize it. It is continually shocking how I've got friends and family that everytime an incident makes it back to the US news they assume the locals just don't appreciate our protection... Which is just usually leads the convos to veiled racism I try to stop/ correct.
so you have all of these multimillion dollar ships (or over a billion for the carriers) being driven around by disgruntled, sleep deprived people who are just counting down the days until they get out. It’s no wonder that they can’t stop running into shallows and sea mounts.
Literally just running the navy into the ground lol.
Also, they’ve surfaced a sub under their own warship before so it’s not out of question they might accidentally surface under another country’s warship.
I don't remember this when did this happen?
