  1. I dislike amazon as much as the next guy, maybe even more. That said, the "techspot" summary article is a huge simplification of a much larger wastewater issue in the area. It basically regurgitates and attempts to amplify Amazons culpability in an issue that frankly they are a rounding error in. But no one really gives a shit about well water and farmers but they do love to hate big tech(and rightfully so in many cases) so thats the hook I guess. The Rolling Stone article is worth a read(its linked in the techspot summary). https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/data-center-water-pollution-amazon-oregon-1235466613/ The good news, as I understand it, is nitrates are effectively removed from drinking water with Reverse Osmosis filtering which is a few hundred to few thousand dollars per house. Of course thats not free, but not digging up every distribution pipe in the area type issue(Flint, MI)

    But when it gets built the entire thing will be sold unit by unit to Chinese nationals trying to get any wealth they can out of China
  8. Disclaimer- I hold no bitcoin or crypto and as evidenced by previous posts am not knowledgeable in the space. This got fed to me by Reddit yesterday, I assume because I looked up Bitcoin/USD price on google earlier in the day. I would love to hear counter narratives from Crypto bulls, most specifically about electricity cost and miner death spiral.
  9. its a picture of A pylon from another MD plane, not THE pylon.

  13. Not just Nvidia, Altman did have an Andrew Fastow, “you’re too dumb to understand it” moment on a podcast with Brad Gerstner when asked how 12 billion in revenue ever pays out with trillions of capex
  14. 25 years or so ago I stumbled onto some gas station beef jerky called “Texas Best” it was made in West Virginia. This feels kind of similar.
  15. God damn fascists at the Farm Bureau reporting the same. https://www.fb.org/news-release/cost-of-thanksgiving-dinner-declines
  16. The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make these marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
