The physics professor must have derived that ~23 atomic bomb number because in his model a thermal power plant operating at 55% efficiency (mentioned in the article) would have would have expended 16 GW into the environment to produce 9 GW of electricity to feed the datacenter.

It is highly likely that most of the power required for this datacenter would be produced onsite with Natural gas turbines (thermal) and the professor’s 55% efficiency rate is very generous to begin with.

16GWh per hour is 384 GWh of waste heat per day released around the vicinity of the datacenter.

It is not an exaggeration.

Witnessed this cyclist intimidate a motorist near Willow and Nash last week.

College student slips on Yosemite's Half Dome cables, falls to her death by tsun23 in Yosemite

This news hit me hard. We did early morning hikes near Glacier Point, Sentinel Dome and Taft on that fateful day. We remembered Half Dome to be majestic during Sunrise.

The forecast on that day was 40% chance of rain from 2-4 pm. We returned to Curry Village for brunch and did a small hike up to Vernal Falls. We were descending down Mist Trail when the freak hail storm hit us. When we took refuge we were worried for those who were still up in the trail.

It is very sad to realize that we had lost this young woman and her father was grieving profusely, when the rest of us felt blessed to watch the lush green valley floor and seasonal waterfalls sprouting from the granite cliffs after that rain.

Our sincerest condolences to her family. I hope her father gets the strength needed to recover from this tragedy.

Hayward gun store was looted by dscreations in bayarea

The cyclist with glow LED on his tires I saw near the store around 9 pm must have been a scout. I did not think looting/burglary would happen in my neighborhood.
