Remember folks, armed minorities are harder to oppress

That's why we hear of all those cases were ICE agents are shot by the people they bully. Oh wait... we don't.

Have you recently watched the news? Looks like it's not working.

I understand why we need to armed;

I don't. Why?

What? According to your comments that would mean that for example Austria has only eight dentists in the public health care system? That's just not true.

Of course, no matter how good a system is, we can always try to improve it, like including more services, but it's of course a balance.

There is a ~~simple~~ way that would improve health care in practically all countries: Make private health care illegal, not from one day to the next, but gradually. The only way to improve health care would then be to improve health care for everybody.

Exactly. The only real unit is football fields.

The joke is on you, I hate all sports teams.

Is that a real quote? Okay, now I'm not even sure if I really wanna know.

I think the most hilarious thing was their public Copilot demonstration working on the .NET source code. They basically showed the world that copilot isn't ready for serious work.

Life can't exist in a high entropy environment. Of course you can declare the entire solar system a closed system but because of the sun our solar system will be in an extremely low entropy state on average for a couple of billion years. Once the sun "dies" and the temperature averages out in our solar system there will be no life.

And yes it's (almost) always an energy argument that's why the water argument is not a good one. But not everything is an energy argument. Take He and H2 for example if you let that into the air it will eventually escape our atmosphere because of solar winds and is truly wasted/lost - but that's not true for water. You can't really waste water in a sense that we will have less water im the future (unless you split it into hydrogen and oxygen and let the hydrogen escape).

Entropy always increases in closed systems. Because of the Sun, the Earth is not a closed system. If Earth were a pure entropy game, there would be no life. Also the atmosphere can't hold infinite amount of water - that's why it rains sometimes. So "using" fresh water is only a problem in regions where it doesn't rain much and/or where the water has to be prepared/cleaned im the first place (which would probably make it too expensive to cool data centers in the first place) - if the water was from a natural fresh water source than just heating it is actually not a water issue - but it will contribute to global warming, but then again the argument shouldn't be about water but about that data centers contribute to global warming.

So the amount of water is pretty much constant. And because of the huge amount of energy the Earth gets from the sun, there is plenty of opportunities for clean energy that can (and is be used) to reverse entropy. All living things reverse entropy all the time. So the issue is not using the water but the unclean energy sources that lead to global warming.

Throwing away water? Does it escape into space. I completely understand the energy arguments but water?
