Valid.

I recently watched a video about the first electronic synthesizer. It was built in 1897, and was housed in the basement of an entire city block in NYC. Several decades later, and it would fit in a suitcase, with far more functionality. It worked, but it was huge and unwieldly, to the point of being completely impractical. It needed to wait until the technology caught up to it, and made it a truly viable instrument, and not just a concept.

Data Centers are like that 1897 synthesizer. It works, sure, but at what cost? It’s expensive in every way, from the building costs, the energy costs, the environmental costs, etc. We have a concept and a prototype, but not a truly viable product yet. Maybe in a decade or two, with a proper goal in mind, we can get there, but right now, Data Centers are just that big, dumb synthesizer that takes up a city block.

It was a mediocre movie, that didn’t deserve a single sequel, but Cameron has the juice to force anything.

The ocean is already warming, and these guys want to heat it up even more? Didn’t these guys watch Day After Tomorrow? Because this is how we start a new ice age.

I got some future waterfront property in the Appalachian Mountains.

“Prepare Your Anus For Cock” is probably going to get you kicked out of a lot of places.

He’s definitely going to run. EVERYBODY is going to run, and the Progressives are going to do the best.

That’s who I’m looking at, too.

Remember that when he’s asking you to vote for him over some MAGA.

Anything but that!

Back in my day…

Can’t take no chances. Better safe than sorry.

The only problem is that the newer, safer nuke plants are going to be built and managed by the same old Sociopaths, who will cut every corner they can, bribe inspectors, exploit their employees, lobby for losser regulations, etc.

Nah, if we get that far, I’m going out BIG.

Usually, the others are just bored, so they show up to hang out and shoot the shit. Of course, when you have a group of them, there’s a good chance one of them will decide he has to prove what a man he is in front of the other dipshits, and you’re the guitar he wants to tune up.

And even if you don’t take a beating, or worse, all your neighbors are driving by, seeing all those cops around your car, and immediately presume you’ve been stopped for DUI, or domestic terrorism, or drug distribution, etc.

Now you’re the guy that everybody side eyes at the block party, because “you remember when he got stopped by the police, and there was at least a dozen cars there? He must have did something really bad, that’s for sure. I heard it was suspicion of murder, but he got off on a technicality.”

I lost 100 pounds, and now I don’t know how old I am.

“Hey, check out this fun new gambling app! EVERYBODY is playing it!”

I’m just saying it’s a huge genie, already out of the bottle. Good luck getting control of it now.

I’ve been a solar advocate for decades. You got the sun giving off free energy all the time, and all those roofs and parking lots that could be covered with panels to capture that free energy, what’s the problem?

Oh, yeah, the Free part. American Capitalism doesn’t like the sound of FREE.
