The (Current year) General Political/Salma Hayek discussion Thread Part V

[BigRed]

330,000,000 people in the country, and we are to believe we should follow these "best and brightest"?

 

[BigRed]

"Debt Ceiling" was raised again.

Color me shocked.

 

[actaeon277]

No kidding.
Repubs claim we need a balanced budget amendment.
Well, all they need to do, is STOP raising the limit.

These are nothing but detestable ******** spawned from Hell.

 

[BugI02]

Yes. Sub tenders usually tend subs in harbors.

Soooo, sub tenders aren't strips of sub breast meat breaded and fried?

 

[actaeon277]

back to this again

 

[Tombs]

Both parties always vote the same way on the big and important topics.

[actaeon277]

And they blame it on anything other than those policies.

 

[actaeon277]

In a sane world, the school boards would be "investigated" for that which they accusing others of.. domestic terrorism

 

[Leadeye]

It seems that if the people are unhappy with the school board policies they should just vote out everybody and replace them. Not sure what the school boards want, but a phalanx of riot cops between them and thier constituents isn't going to send a good message.

 

[NKBJ]

What we have now proves that government should not be in the school business.

No, they want the opposition labeled domestic terrorists to put them on their heels, because the boards are guilty of bordering on criminal indefensible things .

Ted Cruz talking about an insane District Attorney in Massachusetts.

Well... it depends.
First, the 15 or 25 or 30 year estimate is.. an estimate. Like a gas tank, it depends on how you drive it. Only spend 10 percent of your time at sea, and only go "ahead 1/3" and your reactor will last a lot longer. Spend 50 percent of your time at sea, and spend 75 percent of your time at "ahead flank" and it won't last nearly as long.

Earlier subs, like the one I was on, used a S5W reactor. Supposedly a 15 year life. So with a 30 year sub, you'd have one refueling.
Technology was still new, and lots of breakthrough advances would make the technology obsolete too fast. But.. refueling is a copper plated ***** so you don't want to do it too often.
Now, the nuke technology changes are slower. So, because refueling sucks so much, they design the core to last longer. More like 30 years. A sub will generally be wore out in 30. A carrier will probably need to refuel once. After all, carriers don't wear out as fast, because they don't have repeated pressure compressing the hull, then releasing pressure when going shallow, over and over.

For fuel usage, and for damage to the plant to to neutron irradiation, they use EFPH, effective full power hours

So your gammas were S5W gammas!

When my late father was a machinist for Circle-W, he worked on pumps for CVNs. He said you never saw so many terrified managers at his plant than on a day when ADM Rickover paid a visit.

 

[Mikey1911]

Did I not break it down Barney style enough?

For your next assignment, try to explain the concept of “burnable poison”.

 

[nonobaddog]

According to this, the gubmint is getting warrants for google to turn you in if you search for some things on the internet. Sounds pretty nazi-ish.

Adm Rickover was a son of a B.
Granted, he had to be to bring nuclear power to the Navy. And by the way, also father'd the civilian side also.
And he constantly went after nuke contractors for charging too much. Contractors don't like that.

Really?

Kinda figured that would bore the S*** out of everyone.
