Witch trials were more a 1400-1700s deal.

I learned this when I took a class in university 13 years ago. I got a b- so keep that in mind.

I’m sure the people who have them love harvesting data for AI training since that’s what they are clearly for.

I’m see you got hung up on the glib remark at the end and chose to miss the point entirely.

There are tons of reasons to oppose these datacenters that don’t rely on ‘contested’ Science.

So the real question I guess is why you chose to avoid the actual point and support AI datacenters.

That’s the problem with this shit. It takes a major effort to get the electorate to oppose this shit but the people lobbying for it just go back to work on Monday and have another crack at it.

In some respects people are learning new things everyday and your take is correct.

Is apple still selling that stupid mouse?

There is very likely some sort of energy grant that they are going to get to ‘research’

He got 7 million to do this job. He’ll probably do a half ass job and spend half (if that) to do the actual work.

In 2 months people will forget about this and that dude can basically retire.

What are the arguments against term limits?

Look up how much corn gets used for ethanol.

Then look up how much of the soybean harvest is shipped overseas (before Trump ruined the markets)

Farmers / ranchers are the true welfare queens.

Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.

As such they are pretty identifiable. There’s about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.

I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.

That’s mostly fueled by cheap fuel (heh) .

Toyota really started to take off in the 70s when oil got bit more expensive.

Ah, very good
