I'm not interested in running Joe Biden for senator of WV. See my initial comment for the type of candidate I believe could run a competitive race for Manchin's seat.

Also, your math doesn't check out.

Who needs the entire state to be good? Who said they were?! 51%. That's it, that's all that's needed. You want to give up and let the Republicans have whatever they want? That's on you. I'm not giving up so easily.

Fetterman is 'one dude'. So is Ossoff. So is Warnock. You really think the political landscape of states can't change?

I've sat in the shade of trees older than 160yrs. I've got relatives pushing 100 (as is too much of Congress). That amount of time really isn't that long. Technology may have changed a lot but people are still basically the same.

I think that 'Manchin is the best we can hope for' is selling the people of WV short. As evidenced by their history: NASA rocket scientist (from a coal mining family), union fighters, abolitionists. And we certainly won't flip states like WV with defeatist mindsets.

Also, I'm not your guy, buddy.

Oh wow. YT could not have been ready for me to play the little theme tune. They usually expect things more like eps2.4_m4ster_s1ave.aes

So accurate it hurts. There is so much we have yet to fix. This weird tax game has gotta go.

Have you seen the Top Gear US South special where they drive from Miami to New Orleans? A bit old now, but still relevant.

That's what I'm saying. Isn't this the state of Blair Mountain, John Brown's Raid, and October Sky?

Where's the neo Woody Guthrie coal miner's daughter type looking to run a grass roots campaign on justice for the opiate-pushing and transitioning fossil fuel work to sustainable energy? Someone who wants to bring stable, modern jobs to WV and revitalize it while protecting the natural splendor that tourists seek.

He's up for reelection in '24. Someone more sensible should primary this lump of coal. Gotta find that person and build that campaign though. And learn from Beto's mistakes.

Cool, thanks! That makes sense, I guess. Beating the game as Minion was so satisfying

This is so cool! They should do Road Rash or Jet Moto or Wipeout next.

Takes me back. This record had some bangers, too. Gimme Some Lovin was my jam.

It's soo good! I can feel it in my bones.

Whoa, people behind Deadpool did the Twisted Metal show? I'm gonna have to check this out. I wonder if they added Calypso or Minion.

What do you think happens? You die of course!

I've seen camels eat cacti before, but it doesn't make it easier to watch them do it. They don't seem to mind much though. Perhaps it's like a chili or wasabi to them.

Yeah! Leave Gandalf's stash alone, smoke Saruman's instead.

Ravenous little bastards. Japanese beetle, as others have noted.

Out on the western slope they got them under control by collective action. Takes a combination of nematodes and fungi for the larvae in the soil, and judicious use of traps to draw adults out of the desired area. There are plans to introduce one of its natural predators in order to control it.

Edit: CSU has a lot of helpful info here

2nd edit: A great Sun article on the topic here

Thanks for this! I had to look some things up.

Daemon (computing)

Maxwell's demon

Which brought meaning to eps1.3_da3m0ns.mp4

TIL about eudaemonia when reading about the history of the internet.

Ahhh so that's how that reads. I definitely wasn't picturing gas stoves huddled around smokers, huffing benzene and taking deep breaths of 2nd hand smoke.

Now you're talkin!

At the deployment site, a remotely operated vehicle retrieved a cable containing the fiber optic and power wiring from the seafloor and brought it to the surface where it was checked and attached to the datacenter, and the datacenter powered on.

Sadly, it sounds like power is coming from the shore.

Underwater datacenters could also serve as anchor tenants for marine renewable energy such as offshore wind farms or banks of tidal turbines, allowing the two industries to evolve in lockstep.

But I think this is their plan for energy in the future.

Oh no doubt. It makes a great deal of sense.

I'm just curious what the actual heat output is (avg, min, max, in vs out), and what the environmental impact is.

Will there be biofouling because the warm seawater is desirable?

Will it even be viable offshore from places like Miami?

Can it produce too much heat for the local environment? Probably not one, but what about after this scale-up with renewables like the article mentions?

At what scale would it begin to disrupt things like the AMOC?

The system pipes seawater directly through the radiators on the back of each of the 12 server racks and back out into the ocean.

How much is it going to heat the local area? Along with disk and rack design testing, are they also testing how this thing affects wildlife?

The appeal is understandable: proximity to population centers, temperature, security, scaling with renewable tech, etc.

I wonder if international waters is their end goal. Self-reliant, off-grid data centers that only abide by MS rules.
