rolling brownouts are preferable to being politely asked make a small sacrifice for the good of society

yes, and? Your desire to have a big hecking floofy pupper who is just soooo happy and needs to share with everyone at 5 in the morning does not override my reasonable expectation of being able to sleep during quiet hours.

i wonder why she does not have basic skills

Did you expect a cookie? I mean good job, you finally realized you made a mistake three times in a row after it’s too late to do anything about it.

Fuck your feelings. You remember that? You’ve thrown in with a cult that has been singly focused on being as destructive and as obnoxious as humanly possible for over a decade, and now you’re getting your feelings hurt? Did you actually believe that Donald “losers and suckers, I prefer people who didnt get captured” Trump was anti-war? Then you are, or at least were, a moron.

that would drive up the price of ram in China too, which would likely make the CCP quite cross with them. Electronics are a huge export and the Chinese government has to worry about entire cities going offline or having to pivot their entire industrial sectors if the shortage lasts too long.

i am going to laugh my ass off if he gets heatstroke and passes out on live national television

DRAM is a global commodity. Kind of like how Iran selling oil to China affects the price of WTI crude.

i think. I’m not a fuckin economist I just like to sound smart

Me too but I have the good sense to constrain my impulses to RimWorld

I love demodex

Truly, once you pass a certain threshold of capital accumulation nothing can dethrone you. Not even your brain being turned to mush. The things Thiel says are the ravings of a lunatic. If he weren’t an oligarch they’d put him away. And obviously he’s not the only one. One has to wonder if perhaps it is the power itself that drives a man mad. There ought to be a marginal wealth tax that starts wherever the gains to happiness begin to diminish and build exponentially towards 100% at, say, 1000x the median net worth of a single individual. The way things are isn’t good for us or them.

The question itself is solid, I’ll give drunk me that, but the vagueposting attached to it does not feel good to read the day after lmfao. I participate in capitalism, is all I can come up with. But we all participate in capitalism, idk what’s embarrassing about that

I have no idea what I was asking, but it’s probably a sign to take a break from substances for a while lmao. This post is mildly embarrassing, but I’ll leave it up because I hate when people nuke their posts.

Dog people are special. I could never.

It’s too bad there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent this.

While this doesn’t happen often, it’s not unheard of. You might remember an outbreak from 2018 linked to salads sold by McDonald’s.

See? Not the first time. Last time it happened was 2 years into-

He’s stupid, but in this instance I think he’s just bullshitting for spacex’s sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let’s be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.

If and only if someone is insane enough to develop off-planet manufacturing with the bulk of the raw materials originating from somewhere in deep space, e.g. asteroid mining, putting data centers in space might be useful for problems that demand intensive compute and can work with extreme latency.

Then again that’s like saying inventing the airplane would have been a good strategy for Neanderthals to find better firewood.

The value clearly lies in the gnomes that live in the goose and design and build the eggs. The goose itself is but an empty vessel, a fiction of convenience for the goose’s owner.
