every time Mayor Fucking Pete and his mckinsey ass ilk equivocates on these things, it gives someone else a permission structure to check your kid's fucking genitals.

Final test fit for the 1/350 USS Grissom build after filling the windows. Still some decals left to apply, but it's nice to look at a fully assembled ship! #StarTrekModels #ScifiMiniatures #ScifiModels #Grissom

Let's compare datacenters to housing. 1 average AI datacenter=more power than 75,000 homes combined & 2 million liters of water per day per Bloomberg. Residential construction is always happening vs datacenters which are built once. Not sure why you're shilling for big tech but I'll leave it there.

This is a weird argument - do you not realize that data centers employ a negligible amount of staff past their construction, while hoovering up an absolutely insane amount of natural resources and power indefinitely? What's the upside to the city?

Complaining to a local journalist about paywalls is maybe not great given that local journalism is largely responsible for Project Blue failing. Let's just support them, if we can. :)

There is a point amongst the bearded where you realise that the beard is a load bearing part of your look and you can never really go back to being clean shaven.

Got rid of a junk DisplayPort KVM switch and re-did my entire setup only to discover Fedora has an issue waking screens up from sleep, only with nvidia, and only via HDMI. *Cries in cable management*

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

OneDrive sync is basically broken for me, takes 30+ mins to update after a cloud change. But hey, they replaced the O365 start page with a giant CoPilot button that I literally can't use for anything, so that's cool. MS have taken the humanity out of everything, why not the functionality as well.

Can someone please tell our elected officials that DATA CENTERS DO NOT CREATE PERMANENT JOBS. Our water will run dry and our power bills will triple (already happening!) so Jeff Bezos can get another 10 yachts? FUCK THAT.

Ventured into (very basic) woodworking and made a desk shelf for storing audio gear & controllers - for the cost of 2' of walnut board for the legs. I used a laminated floating shelf we had in storage, cut/sanded the legs, and made a little shelf insert. Also: hobby room is getting crowded!

AZ dem here - what a dumbass take. Adelita may be the "insider" candidate but is a strong progressive with endorsements from AOC and Bernie, and quite importantly not a creepy sex pest. So yeah, not QUITE the same as Cuomo.
