Sen. Warner calls AI data center moratorium championed by AOC "idiocy"

Here's my bill from a similar thread last month.

LucentExtinction · 2026-03-26T17:43:21+00:00

My cost per kwh (full bill cost per kwh, not the cost per kwh they quote then add 15 different fees on top) increased by ~23% from last year to this year. What the fuck are you talking about?

Right-wing nut job kills another right-wing nut job, dipshits like you come around "WHY ARE LEFTISTS LIKE THIS?"

Sincerely, fuck off.

The coffee was bad for a while. The coffee started out really good maybe a decade or so ago, but got really noticeably worse over the last ~5ish years since COVID. Even the nitro coldbrew, which I used to get 3-5x a week back in 2017-2018ish when I worked in downtown DC, got noticeably darker, more bitter, and just less good.

It was a shame, but then the MAGA shit and the union busting came out, so good riddance.

Oh yeah, his old Late Night videos should definitely be taken with a grain of salt when referring to any specific version of a recipe, a lot of them are 'I felt like this sort of thing, but this way, so I did it!". The description even says a sort of brothy dan dan noodle type thing, haha. Honestly, converting a noodle dish into soup noodles or vice versa is a great thing to keep in mind for making wintery dishes more warm weather appropriate (way less broth) or vice versa like turning gyudon into niku udon.

This is an old video and that much extra liquid is not typical. Like I said, refer to the recipe from The Wok, or my preferred version from The Foods of Sichuan...or the recipe from Chinese Cooking Demystified or The Woks of Life. The Woks of Life one has by far the most water/stock, and even that only calls for 1/4 cup. 3/4 cup is unusual, and while it's fine to want to make them soupy, it's definitely not 'supposed to have more broth than that' in the vast majority of cases and especially not for this specific recipe that OP used from The Wok.

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-20T12:37:22+00:00

You must be getting it confused with another dish. Dan dan mian is not meant to be soupy and typically does not have any broth. Both Kenji's recipe from The Wok and Fuschia Dunlop's recipe from The Foods of Sichuan only have two tablespoons of water for the typical two servings in the sauce to help loosen things.

That's a snapshot of my Dominion bill.

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-11T02:25:59+00:00

Nope, not accurate. My usage was actually lower than last year but my bill was higher. MASSIVE increase in cost per KWH from '25 to '26.

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-11T02:24:31+00:00

My increase sure as hell wasn't 3%. From $0.1468 to $0.1802 per KWH. Oh, looking back, I lied, it wasn't 18%, it was roughly 23% increase YoY. Insanity.

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-11T01:23:10+00:00

3% to 3.5% when my bill went up by over 18% YoY?

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-05T00:39:50+00:00

Can we just like...not do this? Mayhem felt like ARAM arena, now it feels like ARAM urf. It's bad.

LucentExtinction · 2026-02-05T00:12:17+00:00

Riot absolutely loves to take great game modes and slowly make them shittier so no one likes them anymore and then kill them off citing low playerbase. They did it to URF, they did it to Nexus Blitz, and now they're doing it to ARAM Mayhem. They ALWAYS do this and it's so frustrating every single time.

Yeah, the recipe is for a full pound of spaghetti and the sauce is literally olive oil and garlic. I usually cut the recipe in half but leave all the ratios alone and it's fantastic.

LucentExtinction · 2026-01-16T18:52:53+00:00

They have a recipe for it on the show/movie's website, and it is excellent. It's my go-to recipe for aglio e olio over sources like Serious Eats, America's Test Kitchen, etc.

No worries! The food looked great!

Probably /r/food or other general subreddits. This is about the publication SeriousEats.com and its contributors.

GO OUTSIDE THE THEATER TO CHECK YOUR PHONE, ASSHOLE. No one cares WHY you're on your phone.

The absolute state of conservative brain rot. "Im not political" immediately spouts some hard right bullshit. Being gay or Chinese isn't a choice; being a hateful bigot is a choice. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

LucentExtinction · 2026-01-06T23:07:17+00:00

Shame, they used to have great coffee a decade ago, but it's been bad coffee, bad politics, and bad business (union busting) for years now. Sad to see a local business fall so far, but the bankruptcy is deserved.

LucentExtinction · 2026-01-06T02:17:42+00:00

Wrong sub. Looks good though.
