Interesting perspective. That’s certainly possible.

I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.

Thanks.

It’s pretty obvious from the context.

H&S?

“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.

“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.

Edit:

The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…

The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.

A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.

Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.

This wouldn’t have even made a difference in the assassination attempt.

we’re obviously going to be paying more in AC because it’s hot.

That actually is how it usually works.

All the fast food workers in Ohio should start making sure that they they get some good bones in there every time they go for fast food chicken.

The politicians who are against it are the vast minority, they’re just extremely vocal and irritating.

Last month Ron DeSantis, the state’s rightwing Republican governor, signed into law a controversial bill that allows the public to shoot and kill bears for a perceived threat to “a person, pet or dwelling”.

The legislation was drawn up by the Republican state congressman Jason Shoaf, a keen hunter according to his biography, who claimed in February that “bears high on crack” were breaking into people’s houses and “tearing them apart”.

At the time the Guardian was unable to find a single documented incident of any bear in Florida ingesting crack, and Shoaf did not return a request for clarification.

What planet do these people even live on?

Canadians do, too. Though they are a type of American.

The American version, aluminum, actually came before the British version. The British version does sound nicer, though.

Somebody’s getting fired and that company is getting sued. I’m very curious how much this outage will have ended up costing the global economy.

I’ve started buying DVDs and Blu-ray again after years of not doing so because there have been multiple instances of me purchasing a movie on some streaming platform and then it no longer being available. Also, there have been even more instances where it’s less expensive to buy the physical product and then rip it than it is to buy the digital copy.

Good!

The wealthy have been quietly waging class war on the rest of us for decades millennia.

This is the guy who recently suggested that using an electric battery on a boat would lead you to get eaten by a shark.

I’ve started building mine up again, too, because too often a movie I want to watch isn’t available to stream and purchasing a physical copy costs less than a digital copy.

People do use decimals in Fahrenheit, mostly when talking about body temperature.

And 98 is not what’s considered normal, though it is within the normal range. Closer to 98.6 is normal.
