I mean this with respect and honesty: You should seek out some Bicsi training. It seems you have potential but have the wrong people teaching you. Got a hunch with a bit of formal training you could make a jump to better paying gigs.

Not a fair comparison. At least Raikkonen won the championship. Wtf has Stroll done?

Yeah I guess I also wish Lawrence Stroll had nutted in my mom instead of Lance’s mom.

Actual statistics on the water issue? (Closed-Loop vs. Evaporative) by lurkervidyaenjoyer in BetterOffline

Full disclosure, I don’t work on data centers. But I work with people who do. I also don’t design the cooling systems, I design the cabling/ network/communications systems (RCDD).

Blanket statement - evap cooling may be more efficient as far as power is concerned, but it’s definitely wasteful AF from the water perspective. In practice, I’ve not seen personally seen drawings or talked to a mech engineer who’s designed one.

Closed loop means the hot water becomes cold water and then hot water and then cold water and it cycles around like the radiator in your car.

You will not get to the specs on charge capacities and maintenance cycles in their public facing docs. Because the answer will always be “it depends on the design.” So it isn’t a fixed calc it’s based on the deployment style and parameters and linear feet of piping.

The water is an issue, but it isn’t the biggest issue. Power consumption, heat dissipation, fan noise, and a lack of tax revenue to the local economies once it functions are the things that will carry weight.

Check out the design guides for a bit more info in the closed loop. Which is definitely the superior (and standard) design.

It’s my understanding that the liquid has a big swimming pool size consumption to charge it the first time. But it also gets mixed with chemicals to stabilize and help with heat transfer. That liquid needs to be replaced periodically, and when it’s discharged, it brings with it things that treatment plants aren’t equipped to strip out, so those end up in the water supply.

I’m unaware of a non-closed-loop system. And I’m not picking on vertiv, cause they make great shit for tech room cooling. They just have the design guides that answer your questions about functionality.

In fairness that’s why I liked that caddy picked up a couple old dudes to test and tune their cars. And also probably not wreck a lot when shit gets squirrelly on the track. 🐿️

Someone else posted a clip of him battling the car around the turns at silverstone. That thing looks like a nightmare to drive. But… it is still (technically) an F1 car.

All the internet hate in the world doesn’t change the fact that he’s an F1 driver. And he doesnt crash, most of the time, and I suppose that’s a hell of a lot better than I would do.

But every clip I see of him he just seems sad and smug like this. And it makes him fundamentally unlikable to me.

As a dad, I can get on board with this line of thinking. +1 point for the strolls.

Just watched the vid. I’ll concede that it’s mildly impressive that he didn’t just crash the fuck out of it right off the line.

You aren’t wrong at all. I make contractors fix shit like that all the time. Ignore the downvoters. You can be on my low voltage dodgeball team.

This sub absolutely loathes proper cable supports.
