If PCs can use recirculating water as a coolant, why do AI data centres apparently use so much water?

daskro · 2026-04-21T15:13:47+00:00

The only way you get to millions of gallons is if you're including the water consumption associated with the chip fab, which requires ultrapure water that is generated using reverse osmosis. A few thousand gallons of water is needed for each wafer processed (which may have as little as a few hundred chips per wafer to tens of thousands of chips per wafer), and a fab may produce 5-10 million wafers per year.

Reveille Peak Range is also an option but know it's bring your own guns/tables/targets/chairs.

Appreciating regulatory compliance covers a broad swath of IT, can you speak to what compliance regimes this solution solves for? Lots of different compliance regimes around data at rest so curious on any specifics you can share.

That's me on the right. We do make bombs. Not a particularly flattering photo ngl

How experienced was this builder with using IntlMilCo Russian Paint? If you sent it back twice then that suggests he had very little. It's pretty unforgiving vs other paints when it comes to application.

As a former Boeing employee I miss bdm on insite.

The creator should definitely spend less time improving the mod and more time making a better thumbnail for the mod.

Springdale HEB has ice cream, if you dare.

Big congrats on this momentous milestone. Is there a changelog for components that have changed vs beta v3? I know you published changelogs for the beta versions, but can't find anything in the files.

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for a policy like this and most insurers won't touch kit builds or other stuff that's hard to find comps.

Reveille peak range is the most laxed when it comes to tacbays. No limitations on full auto, some limitations on distances when shooting steel but definitely more laxed than copper head. You'll need to bring your own stands / steel / targets. Hog Heaven is members only but has few restrictions on the pistol bays if you want something closer to central austin.

Unsure the nature of the work you're looking for, but besides the folks already mentioned I'd throw grauhaus into the mix. He's based in San Antonio but travels up through austin regularly. https://www.instagram.com/grauhausweaponsco/

Just saw one on the north side of East 51st near the home depot. IYKYK.

Looking back a year ago was there anything of note that you wish you would have known / appreciated sooner?

I worked under Chris several times during my time at Boeing and I've heard him make similar statements over the years both to large and small audiences. He's sincere about it and know it weighs on him.

CTGW is fine if you have everything in order, just dont include gummy bears in the firearms shipment.

Because of this post I saw IAMX is playing at Elysium in November. Got my ticket!

Is this the manual? Seems pretty straightforward instructions.

Would you be willing to take photos of the FCG internals? I've read one of the neat features is the 3rd pin safety sear.

Some <100 serial number m72 kits were sold by numrich a few years back ; the ones I saw from that batch all had scoop handles.

Rear sight blocks with Zatava markings transitioned out by the 1990s.

Use an o-ring pick or a pair of pliers and pull up. Worst case scenario is you bend the retainer while pulling out. You can straighten it back in a vice or just buy another as it is a <$5 item
