You really need to drive here.

Like most of the US, the population density simply isn't enough for mass transit to be practical.

Buses run every 15-30 minutes on the main grid streets, nominally a mile apart. Most aren't particularly full, and there aren't enough transit police to enforce basic civility, such as the blaring music from multiple speakerphones.

A planned light rail has been replaced with an expansion of the bus line on Maryland parkway.

There are more bike lanes with spacing than there used to be, but there is *no* way I am going back on to the roads with the drivers around here.

Underground tunnels with regular small automated cars would seem to be a possibility, but only if monitored well enough. I have no idea whether it would be financially viable, though.

oh, no.

It doesn't even *compare* to the uselessness of the Las Vegas monorail and its multiple bankruptcy.

It goes to something like five resorts and the convention center.

Due to the juice that the taxi companies used to have, it was blocked from going anywhere useful, such as the airport.

And the fair for those short hops is something like $9, although only a dollar for locals.

I haven't heard of any extensions of the boring loop in at least a couple of years, though. It will *supposedly* reach the airport and downtown, but I'll believe it when I see it.

And I'm not sure that there's any point in the current form in which it needs drivers in passenger cars. But next to the monorail, it's downright brilliant! [insert eyeball here]

>When the power goes out, I can start a gas generator and use my local library.

when power goes out, my local library closes, and its servers go down . . .

Here in Las Vegas, we don't have an imaginary one, but we do have a *real* tunnel built by said ketamine junkie . . .

On the bright side, now we know what *really* happened to the dodo!

It wasn't hunting; but rather that they annoyed the peacocks and suffered the consequences . . .

>Big announcements were made for sub-10kg laptops (22lbs).

I had a backlit Macintosh Portable (actually, I still have it, but it needs recapping). In its carrying case, and with power supply and spare battery, it came to 26 pounds.

Which was the same weight as the desktop Macs of the time.

I actually hurt my shoulder lugging it through an airport once.

I think it was the powerbook 180 that replaced it on which I had a problem with airport security--they wanted to see a C: prompt. I think it was finally a manager that told him to let me through.

better yet, set an activation time at which a few weeks worth of drones will simultaneously activate and attack a range of Russian sites . . .

uhm . . .. let's see . . . "In soviet Russia, the data backs *you* up!" ?

I've used Proxmox for years, both professionally and for my home lab. It runs Debian under the hood and is rock solid.

Right now I'm only using it privately so my experience in the enterprise is limited to earlier versions. There are additional components nowadays for automated backups and the like, which are overkill for my setup.

At the time the web management tool was perfectly fine for a small setup, but it didn't have the sophisticated look and feel of the vCenter approach with dedicated ESXi hypervisors on each physical host. Rather it has a full Debian distro on each physical node which make use of the Linux networking layers to create bridges into each VLAN you need. So you are fully capable of going into that layer and messing things up HHHHH configuring things manually if you like. The physical nodes are clustered together using Corosync.

A nice thing about Proxmox is that you can program directly against its public API and create your own management or orchestration layer if you like. In fact the web management tool uses that API to configure the nodes, manage VMs etc. One problem here is that the semantics of managing VMs and containers aren't a one to one match, muddying the waters a bit. Maybe this has changed in the meantime.

Can you post links please? Thanks!

This doesn't seem to be about net-zero power production, but about other applications such as isotope production. This is used e.g. in medical and other fields.

rat and roach, I see. what are the others?

yeah, don't do that.

I find most food too disgusting eat even a second time, let alone every day. At best, it would be wilted. Probably at least soggy, and, well . . .

cats & dogs have a different notion of how many times to eat the same food, though.

It *does* explain why he needs so much of your money for expenses . . .

>It's not clear this is a stepping stone to anything else.

perhaps to one-way trips for celebrities? I could get behind that!
