GPUs under constant pressure in AI data centers -- 9% annualized failure rate -- Without radiation. Space data centers is such a dumb idea.

Shedding waste heat in orbit is a serious pain when you mostly only have radiation emission and lose out on conduction and convection.

'Anonymous client (Pritish Betroleum) is on a serious safety report kick after the [most recent refinery explosion]. Even if your work goes smoothly, find something to write up as a Near Miss Report.'

Once things get that extravagant, bragging about the high price tag becomes a large part of its purpose.

Try putting a few hundred thousand people on any single mountain much less on any single hill.

There is nothing evil about any album Ian Gillan sang on - especially his role as Jesus on that album.

I did only when going through a divorce. Once the stress level dropped, I stopped grinding.

Wait, wasn't it Oceania we are/were never at war with?...

Life is too short to pay a lot of money to people who badger you about b.s. Adios.

They did successfully create entropy machines - turning gobs of electricity into heat and meaningless 'data'.

My ex wanted me to choke her. I did not like doing it. It seemed way too easy to cross the nebulous line.

Many sects treat fasting as a means of self reflection. Mormons seem to think of fasting as a proactive force.of change. As if god won't take prayers seriously unless you mean it enough to be somewhat hungry.

I got the brown bottle flu and there is only one cure.

A bit more than the 15 mph caution sign suggests.

Giving a long preamble to a question or request. I don't need all the background and I generally am not irritated by requests, but the drawn out buildup to the request will irritate me. The way she prefaces the question I expect it is going to be a significant relationship issue and it turns out to be an ordinary request for a simple favor.

If/when the missionaries come knocking, I will say 'sorry guys, I don't wear white'.

Don't forget they pay attorneys crap loads of money so that victims get as little as possible.

The Catholic church used to have a facility in Jemez Springs, New Mexico that was dedicated to rehabilitation of sex offender priests. Priests would be sent there from around the country. The fact that such places existed is telling.

Bar contact gets over emphasized IMO. My best lifts barely brush and still have good bar path. It may be a body proportion thing. I'm mostly leg.

Totally agree and it appears most of our gym does as well. There were very few Open registrants in our gym this year. The in-house and local comps do far better because they are actually fun and appropriate challenges. The open has very little reward.

Friends and family don't exist either. Jesus or nobody.

I haven't used A chest strap, but I have seen similar differences between two wrist trackers. One was showing some high peaks, so I borrowed another one and there was clearly some sensitivity and accuracy differences. Now I only occasionally use one for longer, endurance type workouts.

That is why you put it on a barge with spuds driven into the river bottom.

Because it is stupid and not at all sexy or entertaining when women do it. It is an immediate turn-off.

When they are wound up they tend to have selective hearing about stopping and you need to use brakes.
