Crazy that the full capacity of this megaproject is a gigawatt bigger than the largest U.S. nuclear plant (Vogtle) and just a gigawatt smaller than the most powerful U.S. electrical station overall (the Grand Coulee Dam).

But the thing is he was hired for his connections, to find friendly ears to push for “free AI policies” so yeah rivals are both ok with it

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS
"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

Those kids fell behind early, and never got a chance to catch up, and at one point, they gave up thinking they just couldn't
It's pretty sad

People with a work-friendly home may not get why it matters
But having co-raised four kids who spent most of their time in an environment that made any attempt at the simplest work extremely difficult (noise, chores, no space available, no help, when not fights) I can see how unequal the chances

I'm French and we are so aware of that that homeworks are actually forbidden in our country (a memorandum dating back to 1956)
It was changed in 1994 et 2009, to specify it is allowed to ask students to learn lessons at home - but nothing more
Absolutely *no one* cares though

Jenrick defends calling Handsworth 'worst-integrated'
The shadow justice secretary stands by his comments about the Birmingham area amid sharp criticism.
This is how propaganda at Tory BBC works.
The story for them is not that the Tory politician is racist.
For the BBC the story is how to defend him.

October 4 (Georgia 🇬🇪) Analysis:
Context:
From what I can tell, some organizers were led to believe that the regime is crumbling, and people on the inside are ready to switch sides; so they figured it was a good idea to go all-in on that date.
In retrospect, it is obvious that the regime played a crucial role in boosting hope for this event; they arrested specific people and created an illusion of 'acting very desperate to prevent this event from happening.' I believe this was designed to neutralize some players within the broader Georgian protest community and, more importantly, to demonstrate a decisive victory [and further tarnish hopes of regime change.]
During the day:
Approx. 5% of the population came out to attend the protest. The mood was hopeful. I believe most people assumed that [at least] some parts of the army and/or police would defect and would join the protest. These assumptions were exaggerated by the expectations set by the Rose Revolution and the 2012's Not-Really-a-Revolution Revolution and various rumors in the upcoming days and during the event.
The organizers read a declaration and announced the "Georgian Dream" as an illegitimate government; they named 6 representatives of the regime, including Bidzina Ivanishvili, and demanded that the police arrest them. Further reinforcing the idea that 'behind the scenes' everything was going well.
The organizers proceeded to send people to take back the presidential residence. And here my thinking splits into two theories: a. People sent
The organizers proceeded to send people to take back the presidential residence. And here my thinking splits into two theories: a. People sent to the presidential residence were decoys, or b. They were the main plan.
If A is true, it seems someone else (elsewhere) had to do something and either failed or betrayed the organizers.
If B is true, it seems organizers [didn't prepare a couple of hundred people ahead] and hoped that people would just rush in on their own, which did not happen.
Either way, the crowd was met with the regime police, water cannon, pepper spray, tear gas, and rubber bullets, and the clashes continued for hours.
A lot of craziness occurred during the chaos, and I am not going to go into every little detail; however, at some point, protest frontliners realized that it was useless to continue fighting and returned to Rustaveli Street. The organizers offered to stay overnight; however, the previous practices of overnight protests in Georgia have proved unnecessarily dangerous and stupid, so people just went home.
After this, the organizers have been arrested, one of whom implied that there was some sort of betrayal; I am still unsure who or what he meant exactly, however, it's likely we're going to find out more about this in the upcoming weeks.
The aftermath:
The blowback from this failed-clusterfuck of a day was massive; a lot of people were disheartened. A lot of bickering and infighting happened on Georgian Facebook, and it wasn't clear if the protests would even continue.
Alas, come October 5, apparently, people got a good sleep, had a good
Alas, come October 5, apparently, people got a good sleep, had a good breakfast, and we saw more and more "alright, we fucked this up, let's meet at Rustaveli Ave and figure out what our next steps" type of hopeful posts.
The regime police announced a 'no protesting' and threatened that 'people who go to Rustaveli will be associated with the Oct 4 and will face legal consequences', however, people still went, Rustaveli was still closed for 312 consecutive days of protests.
Which brings us to now:
I don't think anyone has any idea what we're doing at this point; our supposed 'leaders' time and again have proved themselves to be either sellouts or stupid. However, a stubborn, unyielding, and defiant Georgian spirit still stands tall and proud on Rustaveli Ave.
So, as we like to chant it on our protests: ბოლომდე! (Until the end)

Imagine a future where loneliness meets cutting-edge innovation: Meet EVA-9, the groundbreaking android companion crafted as the world's first "wife" for single men seeking unwavering loyalty and affection.
Unveiled by the visionary team at NeoLife Robotics, this stunning female android boasts an eerily lifelike appearance that could fool even the sharpest eye. She's not just a machine—she's engineered to master your daily routines, engage in witty, heartfelt conversations, and dynamically "emotionally adapt" to become your perfect match, evolving with every interaction.
But hold on—engineers insist she's no rival to genuine human romance. Instead, EVA-9 is here to shatter isolation, offering rock-solid companionship and emotional anchors for those who've struck out in the traditional dating game. Priced at a starting $18,000, she's already sparking a global frenzy, with over 500 eager reservations pouring in from around the world. Could EVA-9 be the spark that redefines love in the age of AI?
Everyone understands the point is to make clients evaddicts so they fork out a fortune for compulsory updates, right?
(Well duh hardware will have to be upgraded at one point to match the software update as well)
Oh and the repair cost...
