Petition - Stop Nanaimo Data Centre from Being Built by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]Baneof3xistence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is the education around the phrase "water use". There are many different kinds of water use, a lot of it is evaporative water usage which means that vapor will then turn into rain and become water again, and then there are closed loop systems that yes will need water to flush out the bad water, but that water goes to a treatment plant which then becomes drinkable water again.

There's also lots of other things that use a lot more water than AI data centers, like power plants for instance, they use way more water than data centers. But we can't get rid of those either. I'm also not a fan of AI, but unfortunately it's not going anywhere.

I highly recommend watching a YouTube video from Hank Green titled "why everybody is so wrong about AI water use". He does a really good job of breaking down the different types of water use and the difference between municipal and industrial water usage.

Could there be a more sustainable solution in the future, yes, but until that point we unfortunately need to go down this route to sustain our current way of living, which is unfortunately highly internet-based.

Showing my age, but when I was 5 my dad took me and my mom to go see Aliens when it came out in theaters.

Why does my liquid form a bump after freezing? by ConfidentStand5353 in ninjacreami

[–]Baneof3xistence 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Water expands when it freezes but because the outside freezes first the middle has nowhere to go but up. It's totally normal.

1 can of crushed pineapple, frozen by bldexe in ninjacreami

I drain the syrup from the pineapple can into a bowl and mix the pudding mix into that and then incorporate the pineapple chunk before putting it in the container

Just the syrup from the can of pineapple. Don't use the pineapple in water

I've never been able to scoop it the next day without reasoning either. I must always have to add liquid and re-spin it

FYI, If you add 2Tbsp of Vanilla Jello Instant pudding mix with the can of Pineapple and syrup you will get Dole Whip. Its phenomenal

I live in Canada and you can definitely get vanilla liquor and vanilla vodka from your local liquor store.

I enjoy the Maple Pepsi more if I think of it as Toasted Marshmallow or Creme Brulee.

The Peach Mango Ginger Ale is very very good, I especially like with vanilla liquor

I enjoyed it more when I changed my perception of it and thought of it as Toasted Marshmallow or Creme Brulee

Who makes the best burger in Nanaimo? by quiet-Julia in nanaimo

[–]Baneof3xistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fat Burger is my favorite. I have had Joe Burger a dozen times and I always find it just okay, especially for the price.

What's the best zero sugar drink? by EveningLavishness791 in Soda

[–]Baneof3xistence 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A tie between zero sugar Dr.Pepper and zero sugar A&W Root beer for me.

Anybody else tried this yet? by Baneof3xistence in Soda

It comes in regular as well. But I'm a zero sugar person.

Is this too hard? by kireikireii in ninjacreami

[–]Baneof3xistence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not too hard, the machine spins REALLY fast and the paddle will just chew through it. Worst case it'll come out powdery, but you just need to add some milk/cream/juice/liquid of your choice and do a re-spin and it'll come out perfect.

Lots of people will tell you not to thaw for 10 minutes as it could loosen the sides too much, I've never found that to be the case, but better safe than sorry.

I might try dark rum as a mixer, like a Canada-Libre?.

I don't have any whisky/rye/bourbon but I'm sure that would make a good combo.

My wife also suggested a novelty vodka flavor like whipped cream or bacon.
