Lightning has a lot of radio frequency transients which can disrupt modern electronics. Could also be some sort of protection circuit responding to too much voltage on the power line coming into the TV

I wonder how much of that red line going up is caused by people buying things directly thru social media ads. It seems like that picked up the pace in the last 5 years or so. “direct to doomscroller” sales if you will

This has given me a lot to think about with respect to architecture, infrastructure, and “this building has to be here”

It’s the grandest example of and monument to the lowly telephone switching station! If AT&T could’ve built that building like a data center in the exurbs, they would have. Likewise if physics demanded a data center be built now in an urban core it would be built to fit in

You’re being reductive because you need to shoehorn all these non-voting people into your specific rhetorical framing. Can’t tell if it’s intentional or if you‘re just another in a long line of experts at one thing who thinks he’s an expert at everything

Negotiating a lease right now as a tenant for a restaurant. The market from my side wants rents to go down but so many property owners are maxed out on vacancy and can’t lower rent any more without loans being called. We’re due for a reset or lots of small city downtowns are just going to die.

It’s even more confusing if you’ve ever met the guy. He’s really off-putting both physically and in the way he talks. Dude smells like three day old hot dog water

rural libertarian deontology would rather have failing local control than efficient government at a higher level. “Freedom“ is the point even if it’s not actually realized. It’s a steep hill.
