So you just have to take it someone who knows how to work on one, and they may not rebuild it to the same standards. They can probably get it beating at the right pace and keeping the corrrect time again, they can clean everything, they can make minor adjustments.

[01:12] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Seems the federal governemnt is spending billions of dollars removing old dams from rivers. [01:12] *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@uivdf4yi6wfqn.irc) has joined #techrights [01:12] IsambardPrince Back in the day, people just sort of did whatever they wanted with a river. [01:13] IsambardPrince If you wanted to run a sawmill you just built a dam in the river to run the mill, and you built it to whatever standards you built it to, and the feds didn't really have much to say about it. [01:14] IsambardPrince That's sort of what happened in my home town. They built a wooden dam in the 1870s to run a mill, and it got destroyed a couple of times, so in 1935 the Works Progress Administration came and built one at taxpayer expense. [01:15] IsambardPrince By the 1960s nobody was even using it anymore and it just sat there fucking up the river for over 60 more years before the feds came and offered the State $525,000 to remove it. [01:15] IsambardPrince The WPA was a public employment program from the Depression Era. Its goal was to combat unemployment by putting people to work. [01:16] IsambardPrince Of course, as big government programs go, it wasn't very efficient and a lot of the stuff they did, didn't really need done. [01:16] IsambardPrince For every Hoover Dam, there were hundreds of projects done that nobody needed. [01:16] IsambardPrince Of course, some of them are still around and in use. Like some hotels in various state and national parks. Certain post offices. [01:17] IsambardPrince The joke at the time about the agency and its efficiency vs. private industry was to call it "We Putter Around" or "Whistle, Piss, and Argue". [01:17] IsambardPrince MinceR, ^ [01:18] IsambardPrince Most civil engineering success stories are projects handed to the Army Corps of Engineers. [01:19] IsambardPrince There were a few dams they build in the same area in Indiana called the Mississenewa Dam, Salamonie Dam, and Roush Lake Dam, and they created three flood control dams in the 60s that impounded a few of the rivers in the area. [01:19] IsambardPrince Of course nobody knew about climate change in the 60s, but it turned out to be really useful for that many years later. [01:20] IsambardPrince At the time of the 1958 Flood Control Act, a catastrophic flood happened maybe once every 100-200 years. [01:22] IsambardPrince But in 2013 and 2015 it rained so hard for so long during the summer that it filled the reservoirs to the brim. If they had gotten just 1-2 feet more surface water in them, they would have overflowed the dams. They were all at capacity, and they all broke records set in 1987, by about 6 feet of surface water. The lakes have surface areas of several square miles. [01:23] IsambardPrince Had there been a breach or a dam overflow then it would have been worse than any flooding the area had ever seen before. Thousands of people would probably have died. [01:23] IsambardPrince In 2012, we had a severe drought. Worst one on record since 1955. [01:24] IsambardPrince It brought the reservoirs bone dry that year. you could even go visit the ruins of the towns that the government bought up and destroyed to make the reservoirs. [01:25] IsambardPrince So within 12 months the things went from bone dry and the river so shriveled up you could walk through the few feet wide area that was left of it, to almost to the top of the dams. [01:25] IsambardPrince That was truly horrifying to look at. [01:25] IsambardPrince Florida people can no longer even buy insurance for their homes. [01:26] IsambardPrince Either nobody will insure them or it's so expensive that it would cost more than their mortgage. [01:26] IsambardPrince Instead of admitting what is the logical conclusion, that maybe human activity is fucking the place up pretty bad, they blame gay marriage and Biden in his office pressing the HAARP activation button. [01:27] IsambardPrince This is basically, what happens when your country defunds education for about 40 years. [01:27] IsambardPrince You have people roaming around who can barely even read or do simple math problems. [01:28] IsambardPrince Who believe in demons and evil spirits. [01:28] IsambardPrince Who wonder if the Earth really is round or not. [01:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I'm guessing that with the Buick, the reason I see that light every year or so now and just need to reset it is I'm dealing with a marginal radiator. [01:30] IsambardPrince Unfortunately the goddamned thing is so wedged in there that I'd have to pay a shop to take it apart and drop in a new one. Which brings the total to about $1800. [01:30] IsambardPrince So unless it stop working, we're not going to try to solve this. [01:30] IsambardPrince I'm getting normal collant temperature readings on the gauge. [01:30] IsambardPrince The heat works. [01:30] IsambardPrince *coolant [01:31] IsambardPrince There's likely only so much repeatedly flushing the system is going to do. I mean it got a bunch of chunky gunk and garbage out but at some point it's just clean enough and you have to give up and drive the car. [01:32] IsambardPrince The old thermostat was pretty much shot too. I found a bunch of what used to be GM DexCool in it. [01:32] IsambardPrince Those are easy. It's like $12 for a new one. [01:50] MinceR 21 022738 < IsambardPrince> This is basically, what happens when your country defunds education for about 40 years. [01:50] MinceR not sure about that [01:51] MinceR it seems the orcs and the communists are pretty good at spreading bullshit to people [01:51] MinceR of course the fact that europeans don't want to defend themselves doesn't help [01:55] *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Oct 21 [02:06] *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights [02:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, Ukraine is probably putting up more of a fight than anyone in Western Europe could manage, even with modern equipment. [02:10] IsambardPrince Finland might be able to make the Russians pay for the land they gained, but Russia would bowl over them in the end. [02:10] IsambardPrince Most of Europe is hopeless. [02:10] IsambardPrince And with Russia, they send the people they don't want coming back home anyway.

[03:52] IsambardPrince Keynesian Economics.

[03:53] IsambardPrince $525,000 for one minor dam that's more of a nuisance than anything is exorbitant. [03:53] IsambardPrince But when you hear that they're doing thousands of these.... [03:53] IsambardPrince You have a major spending problem. [03:54] IsambardPrince I mean that money could go to a lot of things and instead we have a river that flows just slightly differently than it did before. [03:54] IsambardPrince And then when they spend that money, where's it coming from? [03:54] IsambardPrince They borrow it! With these interest rates! [03:55] IsambardPrince You know, and honestly, if the Fed wasn't purchasing Treasuries to make it look like there was more demand than there really is (so they don't have to declare failed auctions)... [03:55] IsambardPrince So what does that do? Well, the Fed creates money to buy these Treasuries that nobody wants. [03:55] IsambardPrince Then that turns around and causes inflation.

[06:30] schestowitz[TR2] IBM cutting staff in marketing and communications -- [06:30] schestowitz[TR2] IBM's chief communications officer Jonathan Adashek told employees on March 12 that it would be cutting staff, CNBC reported, citing a source familiar with the matter. [06:30] schestowitz[TR2] An IBM spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement that the cuts follow a broader workforce action the company announced during its earnings call in January. [06:30] schestowitz[TR2] "In 4Q earnings earlier this year, IBM disclosed a workforce rebalancing charge that would represent a very low single-digit percentage of IBM's global workforce, and we expect to exit 2024 at roughly the same level of employment as we entered with," they said. [06:30] schestowitz[TR2] IBM has also been clear about the impact of AI on its workforce. Last May, IBM's CEO Arvind Krishna said the company expected to pause hiring on roles that could be replaced by AI, especially in areas like human resources and other non-consumer-facing departments. [06:30] schestowitz[TR2] "I could easily see 30% of that getting replaced by AI and automation over a five-year period," Krishna told Bloomberg at the time.
