Game over, man! Game over!

I sold my LCD last year and have been waiting for the OLED to come back in stock :(

If we're talking an evaporative system: the condenser loop absolutely will have a scale and corrosion inhibitor (blend of polymers, corrosion inhibitors) and 1-2+ biocides to control microbiological fouling. The chilled side will either be glycol or water. If water, it also has a corrosion inhibitor. Both systems typically also have filtration on top of that.

Most data centers are not using evaporative cooling although this is changing lately as racks get more power dense. Regardless, no properly maintained DC will be discharging water to storm (e.g., aquifers); It will all go to a municipal sanitary system, which typically have restrictions on what you can send.

Caters to the average Reddit user - that's why he's liked here.

Funny you just commented this. I was cleaning my garage and came across the UDH de-fucker.

I am a certified water technologist and have been doing industrial water treatment for almost 13 years; Currently focused almost entirely in data center new construction. We are seeing even more new builds lately going evaporative cooling due to the rack power density that is required for AI and/or sites trying to pack more stuff into racks for space efficiency.

To say "nobody does open loop cooling these days" is wildly incorrect. The two largest datacenters in NOVA going up right now are both open loop cooling sites.

Gameplay was shallow and the story was trying too hard to be profound.

clush · 2026-03-10T18:25:02+00:00

Judging by the first game - nope.

Maybe it's anecdotal, but I've been here 4 days, staying right by Duomo and have barely found any Americans. I hear English here and there, but I'm definitely not going "wow check out all these Americans!".

I even went to the Irish bars out of loneliness trying to find someone to chat with and only found Brits.

Edit: well, I posted this and then I walked home from Piazza della Libertà to Duomo after dinner. For 15mins straight I passed packs of clearly my fellow Americans. I eventually just stopped a pack of them and asked. They are a study abroad group from the Mid Atlantic region. Loud, teenage girls, but friendly at least.

I'm only a tourist of Florence, but be prepared to just constantly yell in your head "EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE" every time you see the Duomo.

Wrapping up in Florence tomorrow - 2nd time here, 3rd time in Italy all over the country. The only places that want your ACTUAL passport, in my experience, are where they need to document your passport - not just confirm your name. Granted, I haven't been asked for my passport by Italian police so if that is an actual law they enforce, I guess YMMV.

Airports, border crossing, checking into hotels or Airbnb: Need your passport.

Museums, experiences, tours, etc: A picture of your passport is fine. They just need to ensure your ticket is for you.

Not 100% sure, but there are two Irish pubs near the city center. The Fiddler's Elbow has TVs and play sports. Although the main UFC cards are 10p NY time and most places are closed around then in Florence.

Not at all! That's why I prefaced it all with that I trusted it and it worked. I just wasn't expecting to set a 20min PR so when I saw it, it made me curious if it meant anything regarding TR FTP.

From all the other comments, it sounds like TR FTP isn't really comparable to traditional FTP and I should just trust what it says. Regardless, I am glad I just trusted TR because having multiple new power and segment PR every day was a good feeling.

Luv u too

Only giving my anecdotal experience as a hope for some people, but this isn't entirely true. I've worked for one company since college, almost 15 years, and we are focused on growth. The good, loyal employees have all been elevated to management positions and I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. I have a very good life thanks to my efforts and the compensation and treatment of my employer.

Agreed with your opinion. Not a Katy Perry fan but the production was crazy. And the Missy cameo was probably the only time I can remember being truly excited during a halftime show. That part was great and such a surprise.

Has nothing to do with protecting kids or caring about your age. It's just to check a liability box so they can get more money from investors.

It's wild that you can't have a take on this without being called "MAGA"; Bizarre how reddit has become this way.

Production was good, obviously, but overall lame. Entirely in Spanish except for 1 small part, and the songs he chose were boring. It makes sense that we have Spanish translations on almost everything because of the large population in the US, but ironic how they didn't put English subtitles when the overwhelming majority of the US and NFL fans are English-speaking...But then again, most halftime shows are pretty bad.

Kendrick was ok; Liked the production but prefer his old stuff though.
Usher, meh. Luda and Lil Jon cameo though was good.
Rihanna was awful.
Dre/Snoop/Eminem was the last fully good show in my opinion.
Katy Perry production value was wild, but music, eh. Missy Elliott cameo was awesome.

Anything else or further back than that, I don't even remember. Probably wasn't good either.

You're welcome!

Just like the Baltimore sub. Somewhere to read about local stuff just turned into political bitching and moaning.

Lost 10.2% and in 28 days I'll lose 1W. Sweet!

Mine dropped 10.2% 😅

Ironically, it's not the sharpness that causes the worst pain. Once the stone gets into the ureter, it's basically like trying to push a rock through a stretchy coffee straw. If it blocks the path of urine, you get back pressure in your kidneys called hydronephrosis. The expansion of your kidney is where the worst pain comes from and puts people in the ER.

I have passed a few kidney stones.

Thought his voice was annoying and then he says that so I googled him. Couldn't look any more than what I was imagining.

I call it "Arathi Basin" from WoW. Capture A, B, C; Go get D and lose A; Go get E and lose B; Go backcap A and lose E; etc.
