Today I Learned (TIL)

In reply to RevRico :

Counterpoint: no it's not.

There are currently 60 nuclear power plants being built in the world, half of them are in China. That's a lot of nuclear reactors. 

TIL: Workhorse used the 8.1 Vortec to make a gas pusher chassis!  I knew about FREDs, but I had no idea that anyone ever made a rear-engined gasser.

TIL that "Country R&B" is a thing.  Take a bro-country singer and an R&B music producer and pay them enough to work together. 

I could definitely have done without that knowledge.

It must be one of those marketing-focus-group-driven all-things-to-all-people design-by-committee ideas that is "guaranteed" to make a lot of money.

So, if a heavily armed group of weirdo people wanted to take over one of our nuke plants, could they be stopped?

How heavily and what do they want to do? If someone is heavily armed enough it is hard to stop them. Bad people gonna do bad things. Infrastructure is hard to protect, bridges, dams, power plants, etc.

I have hated their version of that song since the first time I heard it.  Ruined.
