I did. Further, it looked like somebody grabbed a wrinkled curtain out of a cabinet at the funeral home and hurriedly draped it over the casket.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Very strange. It looked like it may have had a cross on it? I just wouldn’t think a former vice president wouldn’t have a flag draped coffin.
Probably a flag representing his religious denomination - Presbyterian, Lutheran, Episcopalian, etc.
Look at load growth and amount of people wanting to go behind the meter. Electricity is not getting cheaper outside of cal 26. I think you mentioned you’re working in AI now, I hope you have a PPA or purchased plants for your developments
Things I’m sure you are aware of.
All I can really say now.

Their little Lib haven will me day be known as “Trashville”. The terrible lack of hurricane response by Biden administration taught them nothing.

It is all-hands-on-deck for building generation for all needs -- from data centers to average residential consumers -- even with all of the behind the meter development by the hyperscalers. Bringing back nuclear is a good part of the answer and should be done at every chance. In the end, if the greater grid is going to continue to rely on renewables, the only real answer is a storage technology that we haven't discovered yet, but that is a different conversation.

They also need to build water desalination plants for those along the coasts since the data centers are going to require much of the current water. Need to start building now.
Sanctions are good talking points but generally fail miserably. They are as successful as the War on Drugs or gun restrictions but they give the politicians face time.

SWAG: Wait til we learn Comey's defense is paid for by the government...
Ironically she is now a Trump whore due to TDS.
Since she is a Democrat, Van Drew is probably a racist as well…
Now go after the politicians saying the same thing.
There’s no money in peace.
Donald Trump for President
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) is suddenly panicking now that she realizes the gravity of what she did — telling the U.S. military to question and potentially defy the orders of the Commander-in-Chief.
That’s not a “public service announcement.”
That’s a direct challenge to civilian control of the military — the foundation of our constitutional system.
Now she’s trying to spin it as “just reminding troops to follow their oath,” but her own message — and the coordinated messaging from Democrats — made the intent clear: undermine the President’s authority:
"Earlier today, the President of the United States used his platform to call for my arrest, and even to threaten violence against me. Specifically, death by hanging. Why? Because I joined five other duly elected members of Congress who have served in the military or intelligence services in recording a simple message to our armed forces. Our message to them was: Remember your oath. Follow lawful orders. Refuse unlawful ones. Uphold the Constitution above all else. Each of us who has participated has previously served this nation with honor, and the fact that the President responded with threats is really chilling, and it reveals far more about his authoritarian instincts than it does about anything that we said. In fact, he made our case for us. But let me be clear about something else. Political intimidation and threats of violence are not leadership, and they will not silence those of us who believe in the rule of law and who actually respect our military. I stand proudly with my colleagues. And to the men and women who are currently serving, your oath is to the Constitution, not to any individual. Federal law, international law, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice guide you in your duty. We stand with you, and we have your back."
