@EmilySm43 Because I didn’t do anything special that day my mom did she should be celebrated for it! However I would celebrate my day of conception, I won the most important race of my life that day!

@ohhanxiety Seeing as I’m from Michigan it’s just something you do…. Even if the person is 25+ feet from the door.

@trumplicans2024 I’ve never felt guilty for spending money I earned. It’s my money I’ll spend it how and when I want this is a really dumb question, but what does it say about me for answering it. Ehh I’ll live

@honeymoon250 Nope, death by firing squad! Most reoffend after release, maybe all but some just don’t get caught it’s a mental disorder that can’t be cured!

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

@Eman_8282 No…. Unless someone tells me I can’t then I HAVE to prove them wrong.

@emilyjuniper_ The Oompa Loompas rise up and try to take over the candy cane forest and the Wizard of oz drops gumdrops on hogwarts.
