Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!

This sounds like a good option.
There's always the overlying concern any social media owner is going to milkshake duck but it feels like DW has been pretty steady.

I would really like to get away from big social media sites but I'd also like to have a place to update about what's going on with me. Does anyone have a blog just for family/friends that they use? Or maybe as a separate private section for a public blog? Does it work?

Tip for the way back: you can ask to waive doing that photo and they'll just look at you and your ID.
Safe travels and have a great trip!

To add to this, social media yelling at politicians does absolutely nothing. They only log information from constituents who call and email. So if you want to yell at them, call or email!

If your kneejerk reply to a sitting Governor making an informational 240-character post is screeching, "But WHAT are you DOING?", I'm just muting from here on out. I'm really sure he's not sitting on the couch twiddling his thumbs as he tries to hold shit together on Sunday night at 10pm. :/
