Fucking data centers

weejee's avatar

A major gah on plopping an AI data center next to a zoo.

Menotsure's avatar

Clouded cats and data are

A combo that won't gel

The centers are quite noisy

And run as hot as hell

To place one next to wildlife

Seems like cruel plan

I hope the folks in Nashville

Enact a local ban.

What a beautiful kitten. I hope that Nashville is able to stop the data center from being built period. Or at least being built next to the zoo. It's infuriating that the data center 'masters-of-the-universe' are thumbing their noses and saying 'nyah, nyah you can't stop me.'

Mayuree is ready to eat the faces of those owning data centers, and those who are pushing for data centers to pollute their communities.

Hmm. It seems to me that Evan might not hold a high opinion of the Trumpoids wr/t The Smithsonian. Perhaps I shall "conduct my own research".

Bumblebee in Cree is amoo. Not that this has anything to do with anything but I just think it’s a cute word for bumblebee. Kind of sounds like the noise it makes.

The latest allegations against Platner are ugly and should be taken seriously. But we also have to consider the possibility that they’re a republican dirty trick.

These fucking people are so absurd, it's exhausting to keep laughing at them.

But I will.

Apparently Trump's new helipad will be sited right in front of the White House entrance on the south lawn, and not some place discretely out of sight. And to have it finished in time for a visit's from China's emperor, Xi, he's going to pay extra for 24/7 work on the thing. Oy, the man can't die soon enough.

"Trump bizarrely claimed to be the “number one person” on TikTok Monday, mispronouncing the social media platform as “Tic Tac.” “It was announced about two days ago, the new numbers just came out. You know who the number one person on Tic Tac is by far? Trump. Me,” Trump said. “I just got… I’m number one. Like, Taylor Swift was number 11.”

It’s unclear how Trump — or, more likely, Trump’s advisors hungry to appease him — quantified the achievement. Social Blade, a social media data compiler, shows Trump’s TikTok account isn’t even in the top 50." [HuffPost]

Cringe (and FTC):

"Ted Cruz took the podium in the Oval Office briefly to hype up Trump Accounts, which Cruz dubbed "Donald Trump’s New Deal." Cruz began addressing a group of children sitting on the rug in the president’s office who appeared only mildly interested in the proceedings around them.

"Kids, each of you are getting an account. These folks here gave you $250. That’s a lot of money that you have right now," Cruz said, to no reaction from the rug. "And you know what, with that $250, you’ve purchased a little bit of a bunch of big companies. You know McDonald’s? You now own a little bit of McDonald’s. When you go to McDonald’s, you can look around and say, ‘I own this place,’" he went on, prompting laughter from the adults in the room. “When you get on an airplane and fly, you look at a Boeing airplane, you now own a little bit of Boeing. Can you believe it? You’re an owner of Boeing? That is transformation. That changes the way every child looks at the world.”

The children, if they were impressed, did not show it." [HuffPost]

"Sikorsky Paying $5-6 Million For White House Helipad, Trump Says

President Donald Trump said aviation company Sikorsky is footing the bill for an estimated $5-6 million helipad that’s being installed at the White House. “Sikorsky is paying for it. You know why? Because they didn’t tell us how powerful these helicopter were and they felt a little bit guilty,” he told reporters. Sikorsky’s VH-92A Patriot helicopter, which is used to transport the president and vice president, has exhaust vents that blow heat downwards, putting the White House’s lawn at risk of being burned, The Washington Post previously reported.

“When I heard that they were paying the full cost I went out and said, 'Let’s do a beauty. Let’s not just do a piece of concrete and paint it white,'” Trump said. The granite helipad will feature a seal of the U.S., he added, and it will be able to be used for other events, like press conferences. “It has a 1-million-plus lifeline,” he said of the stone." [HuffPost]

WTF does "1-million-plus lifeline" even mean?

He will never get over his inferiority complex involving Barack Obama.

CC's avatar

I feel like there's an SNL-type skit somewhere in there...something like: the version of Obama that rents space in his head is even cooler than the real-life Obama, & he hangs out in the imaginary ballroom in Trump's head all day long just doing cool shit & pissing Trump off 😂
