IDK I love big OG towers where you can add anything and everything and never need to worry about where to fit your cooling. This obsession with fitting everything into smaller and smaller form factors just doesn’t agree with me. Sure, the NUCs and similar sized boxes have their place in certain applications like libraries, office spaces, and the like. I’m not dissing the tool, I’m dissing the trend. With Apple pulling so many dirty tricks with their locked impossible-to-upgrade aggressively customized designs in both the phone and PC sectors, all in the name of small convenient packaging; and with a lot of other companies adopting the same design philosophies… IDK it doesn’t excite me, not in the least. Sure, break out of trad ATX design, but in the other direction, make it more modular, make it bigger, make it easier to cool, and most importantly easier to repair and upgrade. With all the e-waste we produce, it’s the least we could do.

Well that’s rather disappointing. You would hope Evergy would care our future, I mean, it is their future too…

I mean, it would also take away a large amount of income from rideshare drivers. When I was driving for Uber, the rushes to and from KCI were some of the best paying rides, and everyone knew it. While I do like the thought of expanding public transportation in the long-run, especially programs like light rail and electric busses–there needs to be consideration for the people and businesses that currently rely on that traffic.

I think it’s a total waste of money trying to add value to a sports team that doesn’t really do much by building them a new stadium. Like, KC Chiefs draws in audiences from wherever, Royals–not so much. I think this is a terrible investment. The money would be better spent on making the Royals a better team–they already have a perfectly good stadium. Plus, there’s the whole issue of how many families will be displaced by building a new stadium.

KCMO transplant here, currently studying ECE over at UMKC, and I like DIYing everything(because I believe in the right to repair my stuff). I have a completely DIY 80W CO2 laser table that I designed and built myself, and I also enjoy mycology, PC gaming and TTRPGs, I tinker around with music production, and to throw yet another project in the stack: I’m about to start brewing mead. Mostly here to make friends and find fun stuff to do in the KC Metro area. 🏳️‍🌈
