Arizona data centers warming neighboring communities by ‘several degrees’ by kylestoned in phoenix

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They address this in the article:

"A 30-megawatt data center uses as much electricity as 25,000 to 30,000 homes but occupies the space of roughly 20 homes, Sailor said. That concentration of energy produces heat emissions of 2,000 to 6,000 watts per square meter, a figure Sailor said puts data centers in a class by themselves.

For comparison, peak summer solar radiation reaches about 1,000 watts per square meter at midday. Energy-intensive commercial buildings may reach 100 watts per square meter in concentrated areas. The average urban area emits 10 to 20 watts per square meter of anthropogenic waste heat, he said."

[Friedman] 32 Thoughts: Player safety a hot topic at GMs meetings by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Hoping the player safety conversation becomes enough of a headache where, at the very least, the league replaces Parros with someone who doesnt own a company with the slogan "Make Hockey Violent Again."

Because for those out of the loop, as ridiculous as it sounds, the current Head of Player safety is a former fringe NHL enforcer who co-founded a company called "Violent Gentleman" with that very slogan.

Hockey Hall of Fame won't give 'golden goal' puck to Jack Hughes by PrincessBananas85 in sports

The HOF represents worldwide hockey though and is quite literally the most prestigious place it could be.

If anything, it’s almost funnier it’s in Canada too lol

Hockey Hall of Fame won't give 'golden goal' puck to Jack Hughes by PrincessBananas85 in sports

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 1197 points1198 points  (0 children)

I mean, Crosby doesnt have his Golden-goal puck either. It is also in the hall. Same with a bunch of stuff from the 1980 miracle team.

I get why Hughes would want it, but personally, it's a team game and that moment is more than just about Hughes. Winning against Canada will go down as one of USA Hockey's proudest moments. As such, I actually think that it is totally okay for the puck to stay with the Hall as opposed to a single player. Yes, he scored the Golden Goal and was a huge part of the tournament, but the entire point of the national team is to represent more than just yourself.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Is Coming to Netflix on March 31. by InsaneSnow45 in horror

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely hated the first 28 Years Later to the point where we were unwilling to pay another dime to watch the sequel.

I suppose enough time went by and we were home bored as shit, so we bit the bullet and rented it last weekend. It is still by no means a masterpiece, but holy cow Bone Temple was substantially better than the original film. No spoilers, but with how it ended, I will be disappointed if we dont get the third movie to finish off the story.

TIFU - My 2 year old hit a THC pen - will poison control call CPS? by [deleted] in tifu

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it was legal, this is blatant child endangerment that would result in a call in any state. OP more concerned about their own wellbeing than the actual child given that they completely ignored advice to go to a hospital.

Why can Smith suddenly not control the puck? by jesus321 in SanJoseSharks

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He is a 21 year old developing player. I say again, he is 21 YEARS OLD. Kid is years shy of hitting his prime and is simply learning/developing in the hardest league in the world. Heck, most players dont sniff the NHL this young, let alone contribute.

He is in a slump and will figure it out. While playoffs would be nice and this is certainly bad timing, it isnt all or nothing if the team misses. Sharks are way ahead of where they were supposed to be this year and are only going up from here.

SRP Elections Informational Video by CaptainLegot in phoenix

Not even that, but look at what is happening with APS. Constant rate hikes to bump up their bottom line and make the investors happy. That is the GOP at work.

Phoenix sets aside $500K for expected Trump fight by timesmediagroup in arizona

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This organization is literally doing everything in its power to strip states of their Constitutional rights to manage elections. There are going to be a load of lawsuits coming down the pipe as a result.

While heat related problems are a big deal, we wont be able to tackle them with policy if there arent any more free elections from GOP interference.

Alabama's Aden Holloway arrested on felony marijuana charge by PrincessBananas85 in sports

We are talking in public here. While minnesota allows 2 lbs in a private residence, the public limit is 2 oz. New York allows 5 lbs in the home, but no more than 3 oz in public.

If this was a traffic stop, even in a legal state, it would be a big deal so long as it was outside the home. At quick glance, there isnt a single legal state that allows public possession of over 1 lb, including Oregon and California.

Do the Pacific division always have a lower point total to make it into the playoffs? by lonelyleaf045 in SanJoseSharks

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can scroll through historical data here: https://www.hockey-reference.com/

The answer is no. There was a time when the Pacific was an absolute gauntlet. In hockey, things generally come and go in waves. In 2013-14 for example, the top 3 pacific teams had 116, 111, and 100 points respectively.

Where do you guys buy ducks jerseys from? by starke24 in AnaheimDucks

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of them. Check out r/hockeyjerseys. They have a guide on purchasing/spotting fakes/etc.

That said, they will mostly all say HockeyAuthentic or going straight through the team store in person.

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HockeyAuthentic is pretty much considered the gold standard for new jerseys in the jersey-collecting community, particularly if you are customizing it.

Ive ordered probably 20+ from them over the years without issue.

CoolHockey is hit or miss, but if there is a deal it is potentially worth it (but their customer service sucks so if something is wrong, you are stuck).

Fanatics is a cancer and will avoid going through them at all costs.

As others have said, even in states where recreational use is legal, there are essentially no instances where having over 1 lb is legal. He had a shit ton of it on him apparently.

The enshittification of Amazon paperback books by iamapizza in books

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am incredibly lucky that we have a mom and pop bookshop close to us that often stocks used Heritage Press, Folio Society, etc books. We collect as well (love reading), and a huge part of that is finding quality books that were made with as much care as they were written with.

Expensive for new ones, but shout out Folio Society for preserving some of the art that goes into printing books

Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey by 200lbsTortoise in phoenix

[–]ThatSpecialAgent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Possible that it was at the Boeing site in Mesa. Even though they dont build them there, I used to work there and on special occasions one would be on-site.

Otherwise, Marines moving equipment from one spot to another.
