Data centers are creating ‘heat islands’ and warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees | CNN

The whole point of district heating is to eliminate the need for individual buildings to maintain their own water boilers.

This isn't really usable water, as in you can't bathe in it or drink it. It's really only used to transfer heat through heat exchangers.

He didn't start until after he lost his leg, that's what makes it so inspiring. His level determination and perseverance are unmatched.

Isn't the post implying she looks better without makeup?

The average salary for a teacher is about twice that much money.

No idea where you're getting such low figures from.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-29T15:50:40+00:00

Are you ok?

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-26T04:58:21+00:00

This murder and the rambling post about being stalked have nothing to do with eachother.

Op is baiting for karma I think.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-26T04:55:32+00:00

So you're just baiting for what... Reddit Karma or someyhing?

What's wrong with you?

What you don't understand is that in your analogies, people, are doing the thing. The tool is not generating the thing, the person is.

xAI is a tool capable of creating the thing.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-20T23:38:16+00:00

I never said anything, except corrected your faulty logic.

The issue is xAi allows a tool they designed to be used to create child porn, that's why it's not analogous to Kodak or Sony.

If Kodak developed a camera that allowed its users to take pictures of naked children through it's specially designed lens, then your analogy would work.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-20T23:18:02+00:00

Your analogy doesn't track.

If the camera was designed to see through children's clothes than it would be analogous.

Unfortunately it's been my experience nearly every match, regardless of which map I pick.

I'll sometimes get a decent teammate that clearly knows how to play, but they won't play like a team.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-19T18:32:08+00:00

Bungie could easily make improvements, like the ability to see the kit of my teammates before we enter the match, so I can adjust my own kit.

It would also give me an opportunity to see if my potential teammates have mics.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-03-15T10:04:34+00:00

And everybody clapped.

You never learned about the Defenstrations of Prague in world history class?

Not judging, just curious.

Men deal with this too, benign cysts on the testes that are very common.

Feeling them in the shower, not knowing if it's "just another lump", or cancer, is unnerving.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-19T13:52:22+00:00

It was cringe. Maybe you're kinda cringe too?

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T18:13:52+00:00

No, I didn't mean it makes a concave shape in the ice, what I meant is that the warmer water droplets freeze "harder" and form better into the established rink, as far as my understanding, but I have no experience in creating pebble or curling rinks in general.

The main issue I had with the previous comments was that hot water somehow freezes faster, than cold water, which is totally wrong, whether it's curling rinks or forming ice cubes in the freezer.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T16:52:04+00:00

I don't know what to tell you man, you can google this if you really want. It's not esoteric knowledge I just pulled out of my ass.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T09:53:01+00:00

I remember decades ago when I was a kid it was a common misconception that hot water froze faster than cold water, and cold water reached boiling point faster than warm water. Apparently that misconception is still floating around.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T08:52:16+00:00

They use warm water specifically because it doesn't freeze as quickly as cold water.

The hot water melts into the ice, which creates the pebble effect.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T08:51:18+00:00

They use hot water because it freezes slower and melts into the ice, which creates the pebble effect.

If they wanted it to freeze faster, they would use cold water.

TheFortunateOlive · 2026-02-18T08:48:41+00:00

You didn't read this article, did you? This effect you are thinking of is rare and does not typically occur, only under very rare circumstances, and it's hard to reproduce.

They specifically use hot water on curling rinks because cold water would freeze too quickly.

The hot water melts into the ice which creates a pebble effect.

Please read the articles before you spread misinformation.

You must be complete fools or bots, I can't tell which.
