"Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around"

Admittedly I am neither an expert on space nor data centers, however I was under the impression that both shared the same 2 primary problems: access to equipment and waste heat management. Despite space being "cold" it actually acts more as an insulator than as a heat sink. I don't understand what adding air based signal latency and worse thermal management will do to fix their problems, not that I inherently think these problems needs solving

Alternatively, you could just not commit a pile of felonies in the first place

Well she certainly didn't seem like the type to have a couple thousand in liquid cash to start her scheme. I imagine she borrowed money and then used her drug sales to pay back the loans. Or she owed a bunch of money. Obviously she was not a queen of good decisions

I met a woman who told me that during the pandemic lock downs she made money driving to legal weed states to spend tens of thousands of dollars on weed and flip it back in her state. She also told me that it was really boring so she'd frequently get above 100 while watching a movie on her phone on her dashboard. So that's who's out on the road with you

I mean, if history is any guide they'll either wipe us all out with superior technology, enslave us, or some space disease will kill us all. Regardless, I'd anticipate it going poorly for humanity

He's actually a fan of Mein Kampf

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn't some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

It's a sport if it was on ESPN!

I'd like to share your optimism but I think we're going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time

Paprika. The grocery store stuff may as well be red glitter for all its flavor. I go to specialty spice stores to buy a premium paprika so it actually has taste

Neoliberals are like libertarians. They're right wing in every way except they're cool with gay people where libertarians like weed

 

I was watching an XKCD "What-If" video recently and Randal off-handedly mentions the title fact as a given. Upon a further Google search I see explanations about why sound moves faster in liquids than gasses but nothing for my specific question. Is there an intuitive explanation for that fact or is it just one of those weird observable facts with no clear explanation

 

For those of us who still use reddit on occasion, I'm sure you've noticed AI is running rampant over there, from the multitude of variations of "Am I the Asshole", "Malicious Compliance", and especially in the comments. A lot of the explain the joke subreddits and in particular "Peter Explain the Joke" seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it's designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results. I know there're a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day? Is it just plain old karma farming?
