    Right? Even inflation adjusted since the Stone Temple Pilots debut album “Core” release in 1992, the 137.4% inflation rate they should only be asking for 9.496 pilots. So asking for an additional 11.504 pilots for a total of 21 pilots is just greedy.



  • I wonder if this is newly built/to be built data centers for AI, or ones that previously existed/ are being built for general web infrastructure. The article doesn’t say.

    The age of the DC doesn’t really matter. Its whether it was designed to be an “open loop” or “closed loop” cooling system. Closed loop DC use surprisingly little water because they capture and recycle it. A fast food restaurant would likely use more water than a closed looped DC. The big offending Datacenters for water use are the Open Loop design. These use massive amounts of water.

    Close to me there are two DCs under construction. One is a large colocation DC and is closed loop. The other is a new AWS DC, and it is open loop. So as you can see, age isn’t really the determining factor.

    So you’re asking yourself, why use open loop at all? Its energy bill is cheaper! Open loop uses swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) Closed looped requires more electricity for cooling using more traditional phase-change coolant (same as residential air conditioners).

    spicy food at a restaurant be like:

    One consistent exception to this in my experience is Indian food. If you ask for your biryani to be “spicy” then say goodbye to your loved ones and make peace with your maker before the first bite.

    Lifetime warranty until they just flat say “we won’t replace this cuz money, go fuck yourself”

    From that link "Despite qualifying for warranty coverage, Umart is only willing to issue a refund for the original purchase. "

    That sounds like an extended service plan denial, not the manufacturer’s warranty. I believe @[email protected] is referring to manufacturer’s warranty.

    It sounds like you’re describing the restlessness from lack of purpose or direction in life.

    I think about my life as it exists, my life as I wish it existed,

    This sounds like a great start for purpose and direction! It sounds like you have a vision of what you wish your life was like. How are you doing with your planning and execution on making your life go that direction? That’s purpose. That’s direction. For me, it quiets the restlessness. If I make progress that day on my plan or execution, when I lay my head on the pillow at night I know for sure if I’ve taken a step toward where I want to go. For me this has been a tremendous source of comfort.

    I just want it to stop. I can’t focus on anything, even videogames which I very much enjoyed. I just sit and rot.

    I’ve experience this too in the past. Those things aren’t satisfying because they are just distractions, and I have an awareness they don’t change anything for me positively. I feel like I haven’t earned that relaxation at that time, because I’m ignoring what I should be doing productively instead. This isn’t to say that all distractions are bad, but only engaging in distractions, when you have something you want/need to accomplish, is bad. Relaxation is the reward for effort expended.

    Have you ever completed a project or met a personal goal and had that restlessness go quiet, even for a short time?


  • Can I ask how bad your prior car was? When I was driving a shitbox, not only did it look like hell (giving me anxiety about dating), but it was very unreliable. I had the ability to fix most things, but it meant unplanned use of time and expense for tools and parts. It was a constant source of anxiety whether the car would start and I’d make it to work on time or have to pivot to make sure I could take care of adult responsibilities. Forget about road trips. Thats just asking for trouble. So when I finally got a decent car in both appearance and function, it was a huge point of pride and relief.

    If your prior car was decent enough, then not having a large reaction to a slightly better car is perfectly normal, I would think.


  • Harp, who is in her mid-30s, brings the president stacks of printed-out drafts of social media posts—many of them recycling content from other accounts—for Trump to approve, sources told the Journal.

    …and…

    "The platform allows Trump to ‘offer’ his unfiltered and direct thoughts to the American people, without the biased media taking him out of context,” he added.

    Apparently not direct thoughts then. Its Natalie Harp’s direct thoughts she filters and presents to trump for him to have indirect thought on. That is the opposite of unfiltered and direct thoughts. She’s actively fomenting dissent and chaos in the USA. I have no idea what she gains by doing this. Anyone check to see if she’s getting a separate paycheck from Russia?
