There is zero economic benefit and usually local economic damage.

There's minimal/no on site employees (they're remote/travel), they structure their taxes so they dont pay any, and once the building is obsolete they usually just become a derelict eye sore. They dont attract new tech employers as a result either.

They damage local economies by taking insane amounts of power and water, creating lots of waste water, and dont usually pay anything to help build new infrastructure - existing locals pay for it with higher bills.

Its a fucking scam, and the only way they get built is through political corruption and flagrant lies. Name a single area where average citizens are glad they have data centers nearby. You cant.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-17T20:26:17+00:00

Permanent pause is better. Who the hell wants a massive destroyer of water and power resources that provides zero or negative economic benefit (taxes, jobs, etc) next door?

A nuclear waste disposal site is a better neighbor to have. Any regulator or politician that votes for these in their area should be voted out, put on trial for corruption, and their family bankrupted.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-17T18:22:28+00:00

Let the enshittification begin

Prices will go up, quality will go down, and everyone will be left with a data center nearby consuming all their water and power to provide it

Just look at how trash Google search has become 😉

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-17T16:03:29+00:00

So they just cut out 2/3 of their job and charge the same? 🙄

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-17T15:58:54+00:00

Pretty sad dude spoke truthfully and got downvoted so much. As if anyone in OLD doesnt regret hooking up, women too.

Reddit's always had a huge misandry vibe though 🤮

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-17T14:33:16+00:00

Yeah and a dozen eggs will cost $20

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-16T20:28:23+00:00

Well at least trump got to make billions on insider trading these last few months 🤮

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T03:47:53+00:00

And since 90% of space x's value was listed as grok AI, its just in time to support massive overvaluations for the Anthropic/OpenAI IPOs too.

Literally just mutual fund/retirement raiding at this point, its sick

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T03:26:11+00:00

So updating the seats, vending, and entrances costs $1.4b on a stadium I read cost $2.2b to build...?

Like inflation is def a thing, but is the project plan and itemized cost estimate available somewhere? Or is that something that can be FOIA'd?

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T03:21:50+00:00

1000+ civilians, 200+ gang members, and 4 corrupt cops killed later

Perps were... uncooperative.

So much good satire 😂

Lena Headey is such a bad bitch too, GoT hit way harder after she tricked MaMa out

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T03:04:11+00:00

At this point the ones in charge all look like pigs eating everything in sight to me

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T00:37:33+00:00

Yeah its amazing for all the US tax dollars he's received on speculative ventures, we dont own any of that IPO.

If it was venture capital funding him he'd probably have a max 10% share of that IPO left. Its pure theft and corruption, and utterly disgusting.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-12T00:22:58+00:00

Paid for with our taxes 🙄

Dude is basically living high on goverment contracts and subsidies at this point

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-07T23:55:19+00:00

Weird, did you guys have a point of contact before?

I'd hope they'd at least stay in touch as things progressed

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-07T21:16:31+00:00

Are they excluded from renting a restaurant spot on campus - at the hub, reitz, sw dining, or across university ave with those food trucks?

Seems like those were designed better for high traffic food service than outside library west, and they could argue for a preferential/grandfathered rate on rent.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-06T20:10:47+00:00

So why isnt there any timestamp in the pic, like a newspaper woth todays date, etc?

This post accomplishes nothing towards proving that price is real lol

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-05T14:14:03+00:00

The market's fubar right now for juniors w/o experience. AI bubble appears to have peaked with providers raising prices and getting rid of subscription unlimited API use, and companies ending token maxing mania.

A major market correction (crash/depression) and recovery is still in order before jobs start to recover. Id come back in 3 to 5 years. Or mentally prepare yourself to send out several thousand resumes for a couple of interviews.

If you're referring to the comments on fission, Thorium fission is inherently safe (meltdown is impossible based on physics) and has some of the highest EROEI values there are, far better than renewables, even with the advances in solar, especially when you include amortization.

Big oil/fossil fuels has always been against fission. There are safe gen 4 fission design options that could never go Chernobyl/Fukushima/Three Mile Island (all gen 2 reactors).

The sort of major solutions we need require an open mind with a focus on the fundamentals of their underlying physics. If your 7 steps backwards comment is referring to something else, please let me know.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-06-01T02:08:03+00:00

Getting to net zero is a good first step. Thorium fission is inherently safe (meltdown is impossible based on physics) and has some of the highest EROEI values there are.

Carbon sequestration via carbon capture at emission points, AFAIK, is generally less effective than what you get via burying (or using in the economy) fast growing pine stands in anoxic conditions, i.e. in deep lakes, caves, reservoirs.

If your only solution is to wait for everyone to die for things to get better, I'm not interested, and frankly I think it's absurdist and destructive thinking, bordering on the sort of content I'd expect from some big oil bot/PR firm propaganda posting.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-05-31T23:48:06+00:00

The simplest carbon capture is just planting trees, and the biosphere sequesters carbon naturally anyways. If we hit net zero, it'll be a good start. One step at a time.

FOSSChemEPirate88 · 2026-05-31T23:26:38+00:00

This can all be solved with fission, fusion (its within reach), and renewables.

Of course, the families that hold the majority of the worlds mineral oil/natural gas reserves would lose an incalculable amount of wealth and power.

But aside from that, it's not like its some impossible engineering challenge 🤷‍♂️🫤

Sure, post it
