  • Oh that makes perfect sense. Iron pipes have a useful life span. They slightly corrode grab on to minerals than corrode a bit more.

    I have had to replace my piping and heard that they have around a 40 year service life. The pipes in my house were 70 years old.

    Copper is more expensive, but doesn’t need to be replaced every 50 years.

    If you have the chance to replace sections of pipe while the walls are open it makes sense to, otherwise just know it’s on the horizon and wait until you aren’t happy with the water pressure. It could be decades more before you notice a supply side issue. That pipe look beefy even with with restriction.










  • They did a better job by offering an unsustainable variety of programming from all the studios in one place at the same time. All of the competitors at the time only offered financially viable services.

    I believe in ai now because I looked at the Netflix balance sheet and thought. “There is NO WAY they could become profitable they are spending wayyy to much money and have way to much debt. It’s financially impossible to get out of this hole”

    I understand how it worked and how it could not have. There are a lot of ways this could fail on AI but there are some real ways forward. AI has a similar application reach as the internet. It’s world changing.

    I see why meta and google are going in hard. They lived though the rise and fall of blockbuster. They saw Sony release 3 different steaming services before after and during Netflix. This is the disruption for the current generation of tech and their revenue model.

    Someone is going to ‘Win’ AI and a lot of others will loose.
