Biden gave Mr Myers a job building this AI datacenter whose main function will be removing a lot of other people's jobs

If you can't accept concrete on time you still pay for it but the truck leaves lol yeah the dude should be pissed

Depends on your contract whatever but yeah if it stays in the truck too long it can ruin both the load and the truck itself

U mitch should probably be informed this isn't insane it's a potentially catastrophic spike in costs to the point the guy is paying to work, depending on how things are set up over there

Not to mention that it means concrete finishing crews sitting around doing nothing, and if you're half way through a pour and the concrete sets too much before you're done, you can get lovely cold joints that'll crack/honeycomb and let water in that'll rot your rebar leading to spalling and potential structural deficiencies

Pleated-pants lanyard dipshit dems would never understand this (how could they?) but you don't interrupt actual working people when they're working. They hate that poo poo. When I'm working with a client I make it very clear I want to do it on their time and not interrupt their work because I understand the psychosis of the modern working environment. People are under extreme pressure because their livelyhood is at stake, again how could dems understand this.

i actually knew this, luckily not from personal experience but still from irl: you can and will get absolutely hosed if delivery is not on time and to spec for concrete and everything else. I guess concrete was one of the first just in time products if you think about it but the tldr is Biden cocking around and loving up shipments is an actual real problem for the people doing these jobs and trying to handle the logistics of serious projects. umich is just not familiar with having to work on poo poo. many such cases, sad

side note it's really unfortunate that they can't use the insane waste heat from this expensive turd for something worthwhile instead of just puking it into the environment but that would take effort and planning. Maybe they could bribe the locals with some district heating offset but when the piece of poo poo fails in a decade they don't want to be on the hook. Maybe you could use some sort of regenerative extraction to eek out a tiny bit of cost savings but if you could do that you'd have already done it on all the datacenters anyway.

the dumbass is right

Im super nonplussed about the simple brained insistence on the importance of the incumbency advantage in the face of a guy with extreme, record-breaking negatives and also clear dementia. Like if we get to the election and there's not been a palace coup in the dem party and biden hasnt been put aside I will be in disbelief despite the fact that i fully expect him to be the candidate.

I can't tell if you're referring to Joe Biden or whatever UMich is building. I'm going to assume you're talking about Biden, though him making it another decade is being pretty generous. He's not a well man.

exactly. could be the whole thing's hosed, best case is it's something stupid like just for parking or some poo poo that isn't going to be a huge supercritical deal this very second, not the actual cooling systems.

Also, in a lot of blue collar work the reality is if you aren't "working", you aren't getting paid . No concrete on the ground means you're delivering and getting paid for fewer loads. So, these guys are losing a not insignificant sum of money so Biden can pat himself on the back, of course they'd be pissed.
