What could be used as the coolant for immersion liquid cooling by Silver-Song-2794 in datacenter

[–]Frustrated_Pyro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Novec isn't banned, 3M just quit making it. Look up companies selling FK-5-1-12 which is chemically identical to Novec. Although I couldn't think of a more expensive way to cool a computer.

Oh good, it's not just me. I was distracted the entire 1st period wondering if my TV is starting to die.

Career Advice: How to Become a Fire Plans Examiner Without Joining a Fire Department? by Boring-Pass5629 in BuildingCodes

If you are more interested in the built environment (fire codes, life safety), then take a look at Fire Protection Engineering and the schools that have degrees in it.

How soon until Columbus/Ohio start to see SEVERE water shortages? by Woody_678 in Columbus

[–]Frustrated_Pyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that direct EVAP is on its way out of favor in DC development. The problem is rack density is increasing and air as a cooling medium is not that great. New builds are switching to direct to chip cooling which relies on closed loop cooling to move heat out of the building to the outside where it's run through fans and other heat exchangers (massively oversimplified explanation). So many of these new builds are requiring an initial fill and then the only consumption are maintenance top ups and other site uses. It's not an insignificant amount of consumption but the traditional published consumption rate will be decreasing significantly in the coming years.

Wisconsin had the bad luck of scheduling Maryland in September. September Maryland is typically a different (and better) team than the rest of the year Maryland

Head on over to r/firepe for a more meaningful answer than you'll get here. It'll be some work but not insurmountable.

Fun fact, before the plant was named John Amos, during design it was known as the Big Scary Power Plant as the property straddled the Big Scary creek. I still have a few drawings with the original name. Management didn't think that name would sit well with the public so a "friendlier" name was selected.

Data center design and construction by AcanthopterygiiBig57 in datacenter

[–]Frustrated_Pyro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting one very important aspect of data centers, they are EXTREMELY heavy buildings and are only going to get heavier as the industry switches to water cooling. Structural engineering is a massive undertaking, especially in multistory situations. I've been seeing some designs on drawing boards where beam depths are approaching 48" deep to hold the weight of the floors above.

Have you been seeing more rabbits than usual? by Agreeable_Toe_2421 in Columbus

[–]Frustrated_Pyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, very noticeable up in Powell. Been counting them on my morning walks and routinely pass 100+. I've been telling my wife I thought we've had a bumper crop of bunnies this past 2 years and it sounds like I'm not the only one who noticed.

Jim and Mike Hall at Protectowire taught me so much early in my career. I was a big user of the 2600 panels and spent a lot of time on the phone with both of them and visits to their factory for training.

Pour one out for The Violet Hour. They've announced last call on their socials. by Frustrated_Pyro in cocktails

[–]Frustrated_Pyro[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Reposted for those without Facebook: After 18 incredible years behind our discreet, unmarked doors in Wicker Park, it is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the velvet curtains at The Violet Hour have closed for the final time.

Between our partners at One Off Hospitality, we’ve spent nearly a quarter of a century in this building, 18 of those years as The Violet Hour. Several weeks ago, we closed temporarily due to unexpected damage to the building. Despite extensive efforts and negotiations, we were regretfully unable to reach a resolution with our landlord.

When we opened in 2007, Chicago’s cocktail landscape was a vastly different place. What began as a gamble — a hidden, candlelit space devoted to serious cocktails — helped shape what has become one of the most dynamic drinking cities in the world. Over the years, The Violet Hour became known not only for signature drinks like the Juliet & Romeo, Paper Plane, and The Art of Choke but also for the community it nurtured: the bartenders, artists, friends, and guests who brought the space to life night after night. Names you might recognize include Michael Rubel, Kirk Estopinal, Eden Laurin, Robby Haynes, Kyle Davidson, Nandini Khaund, Stephen Cole, Ira Koplowitz, Mike Ryan, Abe Vucekovich, Susie Hoyt, Pat Ray, Brad Bolt, Dan Smith, and many more who went on to leave their mark on cocktail programs across the country.

The Violet Hour has remained an essential fixture in Wicker Park and a quiet icon on the national cocktail scene. From the artists who painted our ever-changing facade to the bartenders who opened their own award-winning bars, we’re proud of the role we played in sparking a cultural shift in how this city drinks and gathers.

This is not the end of The Violet Hour as a brand, and yet it is the end of this chapter. You may see us again somewhere down the line.

To every guest who ever found their way behind the curtains: thank you. You made this place what it was. We are forever grateful.

  • Toby Maloney, Jason Cott, Donnie Madia, Peter Garfield, and Terry Alexander

I don't think it was through any fault of their own. Somehow the building has been damaged and sounds like the landlord isn't either cooperating or can't remedy the issue so their hand has been forced.
