    Wish I knew. I think the simplified version is it was a mine site that had waste water being pooled or dammed up, but the actual mine location was getting too close to where the water retention was, resulting in the collapse of the retaining “wall”. No joke one TV show I’ve watched consistently year after year is Gold Rush on Discovery channel, and this is a common problem to deal with the downstream waste water

Would have been fun to see him with Tommy Shaw and the rest of Styx, but apparently he was a bit of a headcase to make reunions last very long. Personal favorite songs were Rockin the Paradise and Best of Times. Same song..just went in two directions. I

    I just asked ChatGPT to run the numbers using typical rates today on a 500k house with 20% down. The difference in principal paid on payment 1 was substantial. $345 on the 30yr vs $1,349 on the 15.

    @jon-nyc said in AI-designed virus that kills bacteria: Oh, those two have been fighting for a billion years. By the way, crispr is an evolved bacterial defense used to kill viruses that we exploited to edit genes. That’s actually the reverse. Which is cool in it’s own way.

    Punch brothers are all consummate musicians. The guitarist’s father was Ben Eldridge the banjo player in The Seldom Scene. Saw him many times with The Scene; even had a coffee with him during a Bluegrass festival in Chilliwack BC close to 25 years ago.

    @Axtremus said in Finland and waste heat: @Klaus must be ecstatic that every time he makes an AI-enhanced Google inquiry, there is a good chance that he's also heating a Fin's tuchus. Please don’t be thinking about Fin’s tuchus.

    They're all actually great athletes. Watching the white commies who happen to be seven feet tall dribble a basketball with their feet will establish that. But they think different about the game too. Culture does matter here.
