[MGX]

Wow. Thanks so much!

The power point file has all the pics I have plus a few more. Pretty interesting presentation.

 

[Paul S]

Thanks for that, great pictures.

 

[Sschell]

Wow!

Thanks JR

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Dang!

 

[Wolverine]

Wow.

I was also immediately curious what 76 (or more) people were doing there and the best comment I got was, well it's Russia - there were probably 40 floor sweepers, 20 assistant floor sweepers, and 10 dustbin managers, in addition to the 6 operators. I don't really know, I'm just saying.

Russians really know how to blow stuff up big time.

Another good comment that I can't take credit for is: "That's what happens when you take technology that works perfectly well at 340kW, and scale it up, assuming it works perfectly well at 650kW.

^Where'd you see those quotes...I must have spun through it too fast.

This is pretty twisted ... but ... speaking of quotes, when it comes to the death toll at this facility,

"Leave it to renewables to outdo the Chernobyl accident."

Nope, it was the fellow engineer looking over my shoulder as I ooh'ed and ahh'ed at the photos.

I like to make intentional mistakes like that sometimes just so people don't hate me for being too perfect. Um, yeah, MW's. Actually, I can't remember if the original comment didn't come with kW's, so it's theoretically possible that I quoted it correctly.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Ah... I gotcha.

I am both surprised and disappointed that you of all people were not able to come to the obvious conclusion....

Wasn't Stryker's top secret facility where Wolverine was "born" hidden in a dam? Perhaps they were breeding a new crop of Russian super-soldiers.
