  1. Holy shit
  2. Mercury must be in Gatorade otherwise this would never happen to Rodgers
  3. If the Jets had Bud Kilmer Aaron Rodgers would already be back in the game
  4. Sark had his waterboy moment. He out schemed the coach even though the coach had his playbook
  5. That sheet metal curtain defense for the Steelers is getting exposed by the Niners
  6. Crisped in the air fryer. Fucking delicious
  7. Smoked wings
  8. These ribs fucked. The 3-2-1 method is simply stunning
  9. It was weird because when I was driving into work. ESPN radio had Holly Rowe and she said the exact same thing. About how Quinn was a changed man. I kept thinking holy shit. Did he quit meth or something
  10. Well I take back what I said about the administration. The shirt has arrived
  11. Hey man don't be shitting on HEB. They are actually part of the LAARS system. They actually have a pretty robust generator capacity and most of the time they are able to sell back electricity into the grid.
  12. Well I just got a receipt and a charge on my Amex card that the CO-OP has shipped my "embrace the hate" T-shirt
  13. This made me laugh way too hard.
  14. I mean chances are you probably won't see them again. And if you do both sides would be too embarrassed to actu address the situation
  15. They work the same. Heated water under high pressure goes into an exchanger to low pressure water to make steam. It's just heated gas. The hot leg vs a cold leg of a PWR can have a 140 degree delta T. You keep saying SMRs so I got confused. All that is is a pebble bed helium cooled reactor. It's not anything new. The only thing new about that report is the XE-100 fuel. That's a xenon poison coated fuel. But right now read the stuff on the bottom. Where it says not tested. That's where it is important. It looks like all of the stuff is computer modeled. Put something of substance out before jumping to scale. That SMR also only addresses the primary side. What happens after it makes steam. All of that stuff is not included in the magic box.
  16. Yep. If you estimate 100 million dollars 5 years. Real cost turns out to be 3 billion 20 years due to litigation and the winds of political power
  17. I haven't read in depth about core design on SMRs yet, but at the end of the day it's just a hot rock that makes water into steam and that steam makes a turbine spin making electricity
  18. You're making it sound like they just drop a SMR in a crate and it's ready to go. It's way more involved than that. I love nuclear power. I just think you're being too optimistic
  19. The PWRs although they were sizes of trash cans I worked on. It was pretty easy to throttle power. You just increased or decreased steam demand by turning a giant wheel
  20. You sound like a sales brochure. Now what about the secondary side?
  21. The why is gonna be there isn't anyone to manufacture the critical parts. The who is because the opposition groups have the playbook to delay and eventually shut it down. The NIMBY folks know once the delays start happening by filing injunction after injunction the investors see this as a money pit and back out. It's a tried and true move. All it takes is one lawyer and a willing environmental group
  22. It's the entire demographic out at burning man right now
  23. If you are taking about the Seadrift SMR. I can tell you it will be DOA before it even breaks ground
