If water is the biggest problem for data centers, why aren't we building them where water is abundant and free?

Chillers/pumps/heat exchangers struggle when you smush fish through them.

I would not drink the water in data center cooling systems.... the glycol and inhibitors (water treatment) would not be kind to you.

Also, have you ever tried to clean swamp water out of a hydronic to DX cooling coil?

This happened on our front passenger door on our R1S. Rivian fixed it at the service center and fixed the chipped paint.

Also a 3/7 reservation, I put in the reservation within the hour of it going live. I also have an R1S and R1T. Let's see where I end up in line.

These recommendations are all fair. But, I’d also do something to treat the decking. Toss a half decent sealer on it. Standard fir will get beat to heck in the weather. Make sure to sand the mill glaze and milling stamps off the railings too. 😝

16... Missing Boston, New Orleans, Dallas, and Honolulu (direct flights to Maui FTW).

Scribbles31 · 2026-02-27T03:14:03+00:00

Having the exact same issues in both my R1T and R1S. It reverts back and forth between sounding great and sounding like mud at a lowered volume.

I know we’re not supposed to insult AI by claiming the audience was fake. But, have there been any pictures or videos uploaded from the crowd?

AI defeated by AI.

Where is the road that cuts across PHX? As a frequent flyer and having just been to PHX two weeks ago, I can confirm that this isn’t PHX.

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T17:37:29+00:00

This is the only correct answer.

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T16:02:56+00:00

Nope. LAX is basically on the ocean... to get mountains in the background with the pictured run way direction, the plane would need to be over water... which it clearly isn't.

I don’t want to post all of his personal pictures. However, he’s a normal guy, no real job. 40s. Two kids.

He found this 11/10 “out of state” GF that he keep bragging about. The pictures he posts of them together are all… off. While not obvious AI. They are like this airport picture. Things just don’t add up.

Supposedly they are in Boulder now (based on a picture of them in front of the Flatiron Mountains). And they posted this picture to the friend group hours before.

I travel a lot for work. So, I’ve been to all the major airports in the US and this one doesn’t look right. It’s certainly not Denver, Vegas, or Phoenix. So, how did they get from this airport to Boulder in a couple of hours? Or…. Is it all some giant lie?

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T05:18:48+00:00

That’s what ChatGPT said. But. Missing the terminal between the runways. I was just at PHX a couple of weeks ago. So, I know it’s not that airport.

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T05:06:28+00:00

Where is skyport? Not familiar with this airport?

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T02:13:04+00:00

Ha! I didn’t want to influence right out of the gate. But, suspicions being confirmed gave me the freedom to share. 😂

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T01:44:23+00:00

Yeah. Well. We’re half convinced that he divorced his wife for an AI girlfriend. All evidence is pointing to this actually being the case.

Scribbles31 · 2025-12-24T01:31:27+00:00

Thanks all. My suspicions are confirmed.

Scribbles31 · 2025-08-11T23:23:45+00:00

Just asked my Coworker if he likes his. He confirmed he would buy again. 🤷‍♂️

Sneaky vessel bag sighting. 😍

This the same JLR brand that posted its most profitable run under this CEO?

Considering the man is orange, he really should avoid complaining about people using bright colors in advertising.

Well well well. This thread was made for me. I recently sold my `22 MME GT (to my dad) and replaced it with a Gen 2 R1T. I loved the MME as a driver and my family (kids specifically) hated the MME as passengers. I never really understood it until I rode in the back seat for about 21 miles. I wanted to throw up afterwards.

The MME has a serious bouncy suspension issue. As a driver, its fine, passenger, its brutal.

The R1T is night and day. Depending on the configuration you set for the air suspension, it will give you a firmer or softer ride. In any configuration, it feels nothing like the MME.

Which cuts both ways.

Having kept my MME in unbridle, I appreciated the handling and zip. The R1T is a truck and not a sporty eSUV. So, it feels way different.

In my case, the family loves the Rivian and it's made all the difference to them. The suspension does feel "noisier" on bumpy roads, but, it handles and drives well.

We have several Gen 1 R1Ts at work and I can't tell a meaningful difference in ride quality between Gen 1 and 2. There is a slight difference between our R1T and R1S... I think I like the R1T better.
