Aw come on. You can put more effort into a rebuttlal than that. I used all those fancy words to explain my opinion. Don’t just cop out and fold like that. It’s lazy and trollish behavior.

For small an medium sized businesses, especially in agriculture, it has a real utility. Hedging commodities I need to buy to feed my animals has made the difference between break even and deep in the whole some years.
Yes there is market manipulation for some of these buyers, but I would say for the vast majority it is an asset in a very tight margin game. But I’m here producing a product and feeding into the whole economy, not just extracting resources and capital as some useless day trader.
I buy mine third party refurbished off of Newegg.
That good enough?
As a farmer who warned my friends and neighbors about this fact during and after the election, the déjà vu of all of this is absolutely not worth the wait. We’ve literally been here before. And it was bad bad.
I’ve never wanted to say “I fucking told you so”
I still don’t.
But here we are. And they still somehow have no idea. Its fucking wild.
The worst part is knowing and being powerless despite it all. The most frustrating ones are the people that see the signs and are preparing. Hell they will probably survive it too. Lick their wounds and trudge on again. But they never once hit the point where they realize their actions are the reason this is happening.
I’m hitting the point where I don’t dread the collapse anymore. In the most nhiallistic of senses, Im starting welcome it. And I’m so damn disappointed that it’s gotten to this point.
As someone who uses H2A labor and has for years. Let me just say that the damage this administration has done to the legal migrant worker channels is absolutely insane. Ignoring the illegal immigrant abuses happening, methods to bring in legal workers were clogged, inefficient, and burdensome before these fucksticks were in charge. Now it’s broken so badly that I have multiple persons in multiple countries that have every bit of paperwork approved, but the gov still will not put that final signature on their visa. For three god damn months! I had to send three of my employees back to their countries of origin because the gov broke the seasonal rollover program. I have two more that couldn’t get their passports stamped at the border to prove they left on time, and therefore cannot prove they abided by the rules of their visa. And another two who’s spouse visas are not being processed because that’s not something that’s essentially automatic anymore for some fucking reason.
I’ve busted my ass to take care of my people and this fucking administration finds new and creative ways to break down an already shitty system. Its fucking disgusting. I have valid visa holders scared to go to the god damn grocery store because ice does not give a flying fuck anymore. Ghhaaaa!
Not a lot of fans of The Smiths over here apparently.
Meat is Murder was an album they put out in 1985. Its not my favorite album by morriesy but it’s not bad.
I think it’s the overall consensus that no normal person wants the data centers in the first place, and we want any justification possible to stop them. It’s not the actua reality that’s the issue. Cool water goes through pipes. Warmer water goes out back into the river. Sure. There’s a whole list of potential issues depending on the execution, but they can be properly and legally mitigated. It’s public sentiment that is the real issue. And I agree with that sentiment.
Not Chuck Finley!
I know as much as you do about it. All that either of us know is what we directly read in the article. And it has a clear bias and motive imo.
I never said they shouldn’t seek funding. I’m calling out the article for being an obvious vehicle to solicit funding. They already published it. I don’t opposed that. I oppose the method and hype train mentality exhibited.
It’s true, the idea isn’t utterly original, but I don’t think it’s meritless. But I’m not going to read into something like this article and fantacise this contraption as the ultimate solution to water scarcity in deficient locals.
Please don’t mistake my skepticism for willful ignorance. But please do get off of your high horse
Nope. I havent. Never put any effort into it. But I do know a fluff piece when I see one. My point was, this isn’t revolutionary tech. And it’s not being rolled out all over the place either. They built it and rolled it out onto a Caribbean island. Is it actually scalable? Is it practical? We don’t know. What I see is that it’s part of a campaign piece to solicit funding. Fairly obviously too.
This is just building a better mousetrap. Sure, some good can come from it. I hope it does. But I’m not going to prop up every article that doesn’t pass the sniff test. Cancer already would have been cured a thousand times over if you were to believe every article promising that “this is the fix we’ve been waiting for”
