We have similar products where I work as well, they are just expensive thermal imaging cameras. They would not be able to identify the chemical contents of a gas cloud at a distance, just that there was a cloud. The point is that in the age of digital media, its very hard to prove anything is what you say it is. Between photoshop and AI making a mess of the digital media landscape, it makes things increasingly difficult to validate, and shouting “do your own reaserch” will only add to the ambiguity as the internet is not static and can be changed by anyone at any time.

You misconstru uninformed for skeptical, an eco-themed news site will have a bias against anything related to data centers, supreme leader musk, or burning hydrocarbons. So apologies if I took the article with a grain of salt.

Compared to the data center sprawl in other areas, yes. As others have pointed out, this appears to be a gross over-utilizarion of the local utilities and is just burning shit to make the building work where noone is paying attention to it.

This article and what they are doing feels fishy, for a few reasons.

• Data centers usually have steam plumes, but only with older cooling systems, newer designs dont vent off nearly as much water vapor and even newer designs have liquid-to-chip, and im not sure how those vent the heat, but its definitly not venting their treated coolant+water. (Because that would be dumb and expensive, but that seems to be the flavor of the day, so lets roll with that)

• If the building was not designed by a monkey, then this is likely just a generator test. I want to put the emphasis on “TEST” because a data center only runs its very inefficent generators when utility power fails. (They will generate exaust, but usually its diesle generators or something with cheap fuel). Fancy gas turbines sounds very “extra” because the reason that deisle generators are used is that they can turn on and hold the load of the building quickly (and the building should have a battery bank to hold that for exactly what ever that time is)

To me, one of two things is wrong, either the camera is just imaging thermals and thats a normal steam plume and they are being sensationalist. OR (and more likely answer). Musk is building some bespoke data center in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere without the local infrastructure to support it and is doing all sorts of expensive additions to make it do what it would be able to if it was clustered with other data centers that share utilitites.

My boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

That is why I poop on company time.

UK version:

My supervisor makes a pound.

I make a pence

That is why I shit at the companies expense.

Basic human deceny is a foreign concept to you, aint it…

Hello, Y2K called, this is literally what caused it. Years stored in 2-digits had to be fixed on every computer on the planet before the calendar rolled to 2000. (People thought nukes would fly, glitches would crash the stock market and the world was going to end)

Whoo! ISO-8601 fan club!

Unlike the Jackson administration (yes, its been that long since the executive branch has been allowed to participate in duels, and thats for a very good reason, he was a lunatic) guns actually fire where you point then. Unless they insist on using some antique smoothbore, someones getting hurt. I would not put it past them that actually hurting your opponent is not the point of formal duels.

Looks like explosion resist, chest HP, and bleed prevention. Neat.

Any indication on what the armor perk is?

Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)

SPACESHIP!!!

Oh shit, they had a blue print for success and fuzzy family shit and they could not even get that right?

This is exactly what happened for my favorite tech support call of all time was. Worked support for a biotech firm and the site director and his EA went to some conference out of state. Went out of my way to make sure nothing would expire and they could use the VPN, usual due diligence and such. Get a very paniced call on the last day and they say there is nothing wrong, but the EA was freaking out as a ton of nerds in costume just showed up. I did some digging about the venue and found out it was the same con I attended in high school.

Spent the next while explaining what anime and anime conventions were to a very eastern-european middle-aged woman and her boss. Oh the tales of tech support.

Daniel Radcliff famously did something like that when he was on broadway. Got 10 sets of the same shirt, hat, and jeans, left half at home and half at the theatre. Came and left wearing the same thing for year so the images coulden’t be dated. Paparazzi made no money off him and threw a fit over it, twas glorious.

Yep, the home to many cute photos of Owl and some very confused american football fans.

Ah, there is a Hoopy Frood

Also HPL is super dead, his estate isnt continuing his legacy of being a racist fart waffle. The whole “Death of the author” problem becomes much easier once the actual author is dead and they no longer personally benifit from the discussion or consumption of their work.

Thats why JKR is so problematic, engaging with her BS keeps her relavent so she can do more damage. HPL can be discussed more freely because he cant break anything else from his coffin in Providence.
