Technology@lemmy.world•Little Rock residents protest private Google data center meeting at First Methodist ChurchEnglish
7·3 days agoIdk if this is the same event, but there were some tech bros that wanted to put up a crytpo mining facility in Cedar Falls that went through a similar process. I hate AI and the environmental impacts of data centers, but crypto has nothing redeeming, where at least occasionally AI gets it right.
There are a couple going up around Cedar Rapids that seemed to get through very quickly. Now they’re talking up reopening the Palo nuke plant to build and power a third.
This is the worst timeline.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It’s going to be an interesting day when an EV wins a Nascar race.
1·3 days agoYea, I was thinking more that the consequences could be higher in the event of a fire. I figure the weight could possibly lead to more dangerous crashes just due to sheer mass, but maybe not since it’s less likely a car would get airborne.

7·3 days agoIt’s more than other places are doing and is a hard block for at least a year. It’s not nothing, it’s progress and hopefully the start of a trend.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It’s going to be an interesting day when an EV wins a Nascar race.
7·3 days agoThere are pretty strict restrictions on most aspects of the cars, even as much as to limit top speed for safety through various means, including aerodynamics.
Other than acceleration, I’m not sure that an EV would benefit much against a current NASCAR, unless they can find a way to get more range on a charge than there is with fuel.
And even though this is all pretty hypothetical right now, these racers crash a lot, and between the extra weight and explosiveness of batteries, I wonder if we’ll ever see EVs in NASCAR.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?
7·3 days agoI’m fortunate enough that my last and current jobs have been accommodating if I need to duck out for an appointment. In general the expectation is to make up the time, but that’s flexible depending on how much time is missed.
Other than that, I decided to not have children, so it’s just my wife, me, and our dogs. My wife is 100% wfh, and I’m wfh 3 days a week, so we always have someone here when needed.
Before that when I worked retail and there was no leeway, I neglected things I need to do like going to the DMV, doctor and dentist appointments, and other things that technically could wait, but shouldn’t. In emergency situations, I was expected to find coverage, and one time when I couldn’t, I turned in my two weeks because they weren’t budging.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA Senator [Tommy Tuberville] threatens to sue outlet for publishing tax returns he accidentally sent them
1·3 days agoThat’s fair. I have stated and agree that there needs transparency. The original comment I responded to was very specific about Netflix and cash in wallets. After I said no, they followed up and clarified that that’s exactly what they meant.
I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m directly responding to those statements, because that sort of monitoring is insane.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA Senator [Tommy Tuberville] threatens to sue outlet for publishing tax returns he accidentally sent them
1·4 days agoWhat does this have to do at all with what I said? There are things that should be transparent, and others that don’t matter. If someone has Netflix, that doesn’t matter. This isn’t about slippery slopes, it’s about common sense privacy that every person is entitled to.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA Senator [Tommy Tuberville] threatens to sue outlet for publishing tax returns he accidentally sent them
1·4 days agoJust because it’s a choice doesn’t mean every single detail of their lives needs to be public. Why should you or the public care at all if an elected official has Netflix? Why does it matter if they have $500 cash in their wallet? Do you need to know every time they take a shit and what time they go to sleep? No. None of that is information that matters at all.
There absolutely needs to be more transparency, but asking for literally everything is fucking dumb.

politics @lemmy.world•Bill Gates is appearing before Congress over Epstein involvement
181·4 days agoIf Bill was truly involved with all of this, I hope that as a last ditch effort, he drags everyone down with him. To have him called in front of Congress for him to just chirp off names and have it backfire on the GOP would be awesome.

4·4 days agoGrundle, taint, gooch, chode… Pick your poison.
Although, I did learn the other year that many people think of a chode as a short fat dick, and I had heard that is was often on gender lines where more women have that definition. Anecdotally, of the ~10 people I surveyed, it heald mostly true, which was kind of wild but not at all binding.

politics @lemmy.world•Sexism is often a stronger predictor of political attitudes than a voter's actual gender
2·4 days agoI don’t understand how why anyone would willingly identify as a Republican, because they’re imo just as bad as Nazis, just without the power to carryout a genocide. What is truly amazing is any minority or woman would do so. Like like a black person going to a KKK rally in support of their views. It’s truly leopards and faces.

You also want cameras in their bathrooms so they aren’t making secret deals while they shit? Gotta cover all your creepy bases.

They use evaporative cooling systems. The water absorbs the heat, turns into water vapor, and is vented into the air. In theory I assume it could be collected, but that would require a lot more post processing to cool it back down or compress it to get back to liquid for.
