Those would be cooling stacks - only thing out of them is steam that was never even close to the core, with a LOT of safety.

Nuclear is by far the best power source we have today.

You should probably study this stuff before condemning like this.

Yea, they started like 20 years ago(?) making great bikes, low production, (If memory serves). I haven't paid attention in a long time, just wanted one back then.

We will probably get a nice apology in the end tho.

LOL.

Honestly it's impressive how well the media/news outlets have controlled the narrative so well that none of the "environmentalists" ever even mention shipping.

Now who does that benefit? Oh yea, shippers, manufacturers (ships, trucks, cranes, trollies, containers, etc, etc, etc). Instead they focus on cars... The LITTLE GUY. Because the power brokers (e.g. The 10 conglomerates that control all food distribution and production) want it that way.

It's all feel-good knee-jerk nonsense for supposed environmentalists, because that's far easier than taking a deep dive to actually understand what's going on. It's just "cars evil".

I'd be just as concerned about who may be looking for it, and the reaction of authorities.

This would be great as a spreadsheet. Not saying you should do this, just an idea that occurred to me.

So 10 companies control it all...

Best buy dates are meaningless hype to get you to use more.

I keep eggs for months. Average time in my fridge, 1-3 months. Eggs can always be scrambled, then frozen. Texture changes, but can be used in less sensitive dishes - I wouldn't make a cake with them.

That said - Dutch Baby. Chef John's version on Food Wishes works perfectly. It's like breakfast dessert, though nutritionally much better because of the eggs.

Re: Best buy dates. For decades I've done "informal testing" (forgot about stuff) and have learned most things last far beyond their sell by/best buy date. (I put dates on everything I buy - restaurant inventory management lesson).

I currently have numerous intentional tests going - dozens of cans of different dates, chips, crackers, cookies, boxed meals (cake mixes, hamburger helper, pasta, Mac n cheese, etc.). Pasta lasts forever. As does pasta sauce in a jar or can.

Chips: will last upward of 2 years past sell by date. Oils go rancid eventually from oxygen exposure (I suspect a bag develops a leak).

Cookies:similar

Crackers: these seem to oxidize faster than chips (the oils go rancid, safe to eat just taste bad). I suspect it's because crackers aren't sealed as well as chips.

Peanut Butter: 4 years, no problem.

Canned drinks: 3 years average. Cans are very thin, develop pinhole leaks (especially acidic drinks - cola).

Bottled drinks: indefinitely. Anything in jars will generally last as long as canned goods (technically they're canned too).

Canned goods are indefinite, except acidic things like tomatoes. Over time the acid will degrade the lining, then the can. Though I've gone past two years with tomatoes, and no problems yet.

Of course, all this is stored in a cool, dry, dark location (no sunlight, lights are OK, just keep them off). Anything under 75f is OK, the cooler the better.

It's been a while, but at one time most people were employed by SMB (small-to-medium businesses).

And why would you tell anyone?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks for the links, now I'll be down the rabbit hole in excel!

Yea, I've seen a LOT of properties bought for the full price just to raze it and build new.

Interesting stuff.

That's crazy, unless the count of houses has increased tremendously since the 80's (it may have).

Seeing a distribution would help. Also seeing the definitions.

Then I've also seen a house double in size when you add heat to a basement and proper egress. Lots of houses built in the 50's/60's can double legal size this way, without altering the footprint. You can get 3000 sq ft on a typical suburban 1/3 acre lot doing this.

Yep, let's look at median size, or how many people live in apartments/condo/townhouse, etc.
