Accurate portrayal of Grenock in person at the first gathering lol

Well this game hasn’t gone as I expected.

I've done both. This is less messy

It's easier to make sure the entire cut is medium rare when it's left whole. Then let it rest and cut it. Flank isn't a cut that is good at medium or more.

I managed to choke it down.

I flipping hate engineers. Over-engineering everything.... even stupid battery terminals. Pisses me off because it's deliberate in a lot of cases.

Rant over

Bless your heart.

I hate modern fuel can and spout designs

I have no idea if it's Obama's fault but I'm going to blame him anyways

They're garbage. Stupid EPA regulation to prevent fuel spillage.

I have spilled more fuel fighting or breaking those things than I ever did with the old (AKA functional) design. I converted all my gas cans to spouts that work.

There was a clearer version of this diagram (with gray background) which was published by Bloomberg a couple of weeks ago (?) That version seems to have been scrubbed from other prominent sites like Meta's FB. I'm just posting this here as a rando for posterity:

All of my new cans get the Amazon mod. That crap irritates the crap out of me. Takes two seconds to drill a hole and add a vent and put the new spout on.

No-Spill gas cans FTW!

I know that your question is rhetorical in nature and asked in jest but let's use an analogy which could perhaps underpin the gravest of all possibilities: imagine the aftermath of that atomic bomb which was dropped dropped on Hiroshima in Aug 1945 being the equivalent of the damage during the GFC back in 2008 vs the consequences of a modern nuclear ICBM being used somewhere sometimes in the future if & when that one goes BANG!

I end up wearing and spilling more than what makes it into the tank.......

So I ride it out and enjoy the fumes... because I paid for it lol

We don't have the energy grid for that to happen. Current LLM/AI is already stressing what's available and all the investments will stall unless they fix the power issues in the US & worldwide. That's my view, FWIW.

Those No-Spill cans are the best I have used. Still compliant, but they actually work as advertised. Downside is slightly higher price and still a two handed can. No one hand pours, if that matters to you.

I am assuming that you are referring to the amount of energy needed for these data centers to grow rapidly and exponentially to service the then necessary power demand. I was referring to the magnitude of the catastrophe to the worldwide economy if the AI bubble goes BANG instead of just deflating slowly by some sort of attrition which is a better possibility than amassive explosive burst.
