I interpreted the sentiment from OP that it was just reframing the reality in either case: the server is going to run, and it's going to generate heat.

You can either frame that reality as "waste heat is being generated" or "my furnace doesn't have to work as hard"

You're like 14 comments deep in probably the stupidest one I've ever seen.

And it's brawndo

If someone is going to get belligerent about being asked to leave, I promise you that their beligerence is complete unphased by corporate policy.

If this is what you're seeing, the problem isn't the employees.

If you can say with a straight face that employees prefer to be micromanaged, that's the biggest, brightest, blinding red flag I can even imagine.

If you're seeing this, your company has a major issue.

A trade deficit isn't a subsidy.

If I sell spoons and you sell water, I'm going to buy more water from you thank you'll buy spoons from me.

I have an ongoing need to buy your water, your need for spoons is finite.

In no comprehension of trade is a deficit a subsidy.

Critical is that HOW you learn this is trial and error.

Most people can imagine the result of combining two images, say a frog riding a turtle. We can imagine what a handful of wet spaghetti might sound like being dropped onto the hood of a car. We can imagine what a fluffy bunny that's been rolling in sand might feel like.

But that isn't just because those senses are somehow intrinsically better for synthesis and prediction. We just got a ton more practice with them. As kids we got to draw, we got to play with toys, we touched everything, we bashed all kinds of stuff together.

But most of us, we just got the food prepared for us with no awareness of the properties of the constituent ingredients.

You gotta act like a toddler in the kitchen to grow that part of your brain.

I'm not going to say both sides are equal, they aren't.

But, look at this graph and I think you'll clearly see the differences between R and D control of the government.

Or, you won't, and see that regardless of who's been in government, there has been almost no impact on real wages while productivity continues to climb.

OBVIOUSLY wages aren't the only measure of how things are going, and OBVIOUSLY To leadership has made many things meaningfully worse for many people.

But like, there are some GLARING issues that are responsible for a massive chunk of people's unhappiness and neither party has the balls to do anything about it so they're both just running identity politics playbooks. It's pathetic.

Things aren't fine. Anywhere. 2 years ago. 4 years ago. 10 years ago.

It isn't about the solutions to these people, and why should it be? Both sides have been in power, neither side made a material difference to the situation of the general population in the rust belt.

So all that's even left to resonate is tone, and at least the "This country has been ruined" message from the R's at least aligns broadly with the general angst.

You have to get people hooked on your product, though.

If they and every other AI company just evaporated no one would really be bothered.

You can't capitalize a market that doesn't really exist.

That's like saying the road is the cause of all car crashes.

The road is the context in which all (mostly all) crashes occur, its contours or grading maybe contributed to the crash, but it almost never would be the sole cause.

Most people who just wave their hands and say "patriarchy" are parrots who just know they get a cracker when they say the line. It's resulted in trash discourse.

It's resulted in people just tuning out when they hear the word, too.

Kinda sucks, because it's a really useful foundation to talk about society through a certain lens. It'd be hard to talk about traffic if I didn't understand what a road was.

But, I admit, many people who pipe up with "patriarchy" don't really want to talk any farther, and that does make dealing with those people pretty frustrating. Like if a cop showed up at every crash and excitedly pointed out the existence of a road and then left.

Yeah I kinda glanced off that...

I think that's always been "on the menu" for people who are deeply unhappy and can't figure out who to blame. "Going postal" isn't a new concept.

I don't expect the biggest factor to be an increase of the likelihood that a mentally anguished person will decide to mass-murder-suicide-by-cop, I think that the pool of mentally anguished people has just grown so much.

My theory:

A lot of people are hitting mid-life from the first western generation significantly less well-off than their parents. They grew up with expectations set by their environment which they're now realizing isn't realistic at all. It's not really their fault for having those expectations, it was a reality they witnessed with their own eyes.

I think this fairly nebulous anxiety over the disconnect between expectation and reality is the root cause of a lot of various flavours of anti-social behavior. It's just a roulette spin of who they end up blaming.

Andrew Tate misogyny, MAGA fascism, Xenophobia, Anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, full-on neo nazis etc etc, I think the surprising uptake of these otherwise fringe ideas are just people subconsciously grasping for explanation of why the world (and by extension their lives) "just isn't right".

So yah, layer than onto regular mid-life crises, it's a powder keg.

And I think this is where so much MAGA support comes from. They heavily lean into acknowledgement that things AREN'T good. They're BAD. You're NOT CRAZY for thinking they're FUCKED, and the urgency you feel is APPROPRIATE.

In the US at least, it's the right offering radical change. It's fucking idiotic change guaranteed to blow up in your face before the leopards come to chew it off... but goddamnit it's radical. It at least matches the energy level of the angst. The Dems are offering piecemeal incremental bland realistic changes that while certainly for the better, they won't rock the boat too hard.

No he didn't.

The article (if you're past the paywall) does seem to point to that. Except it wouldn't be the wife, but instead fiance.

Still not a ton of details so I'm for sure not jumping to any conclusions, especially with how shitty Tesla's are and their safety record...

But, Trump Tower and a Cyber truck certainly is the perfect symbolic intersection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If one did want to make a symbolic statement about the two, I don't know if I can think of a better intersection. Can you?

Obviously it's not proof of anything and Tesla's fucking suck. But I at least can comprehend why the perfection of the symbolism is noteworthy to people.

Edit: I see in a follow up comment buddy is linking it to New Orleans. I see no connection.

As others have said, running out of motherboard SATA slots doesn't mean you need a new machine to support expansion.

You can get m2 adapter slots for more SATA drives.

If you think you'll be building a NAS in the future, and are cheap like I am, you might consider getting a pci-e expansion card for SAS rather than SATA drives. They're backwards compatibile with SATA drives, but open you up to being able to use SAS drives which are common in enterprise data centers. You can get used lots of those drives on eBay WAY cheaper per TB when the data centers hour them out.

I've got a machine with 16 SAS drives running the unRaid OS, and I'm very happy with it for data hoarding and media serving. The drives (with shipping) cost $5/TB.

In 24 hours as President Elect, was the promise.
