    How are them boys doing?

    My son's 1 year review was exemplary. However, the ugly that is the world takes its toll. That said, he was gifted 2 "Challenge Coins". One says," Stand up and let them know who you are." The other says, "Never Surrender, Never, Quit". My son gifted 1 of the second to me. Just said he now...

    Extra Stupid Window Stickers

    Easy guy. Between running my consulting business and teaching/mentoring at night, I don't get to check in often. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of having to interact with him via business and I've seen Mr. Kilr across the area multiple times. What's there to say that the pic doesn't already...

    Spent alot of time up there. Left Kemmerer/Diamondville one time at 6am. I 80 shut at Green River due to snow. Backtracked down through Vernal and got home around 330am.

    Ranchers Shouldering the Waste of Mining and Coal Bed Methane?

    I believe this nuke plant is supposed to be set at the old Naughton coal plant and the coal mine next door. Yes, the AI data centers are another area where large questions remain both on power and especially water.

    Ranchers Shouldering the Waste of Mining and Coal Bed Methane?

    I'm from the generation side, but your description for everyone here on mines, bonds and regulations is spot on. Its great context for those who don't have the access to see what the actual reality is. Was stuck in the middle of trying to mitigate noise pollution issues on a Billion dollar...

    AI tips, tricks, faults, and failures

    AI for most is an attempt to use the easy button. Young guy is was trying to mentor FAFO'd and managed to fail out of CSU Engineering program because he used ChatGPT for his homework.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Lotta of the main body of those blades are HSS steel. Given the heavy usage in industry's its a good material. Not exotic by any means but typically long lasting and easy to sharpen while holding good edges.

    When SHTF

    Actually in a SHTF scenario, the skills that will matter are keeping society together in some cohesive and coherent manner with whatever expertise you have. Nobody is standing alone or in a small tribe.
