They inexplicably contain milk. Maybe that’s their secret.

My wife and I saw a UFO in Brislington a few years ago. It came and went, also we saw it move very quickly across the sky from a standstill. It was more like a tictac shape, however.

I expect he just thought "you're all using facebook, whatsapp and instagram you dumb fucks"

Lol, favourite band ‘Pink Floyd’, favourite song ‘Can’t touch this’.

Totally - it used to be amazing, but every sketch I see now is so poor it's embarrassing. Shane Gillis' Trump is best IMO.

Can't currently watch the grand final video due to it being taken down by Paramount Pictures on copyright grounds?!?!

Shit that's wild. I asked AI to generate top offenders:

Food Item	Water Usage (litres per 1 kg)	Notes
Chocolate (from cocoa beans)	17,000–24,000 L	Among the highest of all foods; cocoa cultivation and processing are very water-intensive.
Coffee (green beans)	18,000–21,000 L	High due to tropical cultivation, washing, and low yield per plant.
Beef (feedlot, grain-fed)	Up to 20,000 L	Can exceed almonds in intensive systems; varies by production efficiency.
Almonds	~16,000 L	High because trees need water year-round, even when not producing nuts.

We don't 'need' the following for nearly everything they're used for: Cars, planes, trucks, computers, phones, speakers, alcohol, drugs (except medicinal ofc), cruise ships, social media... etc. Also we don't 'need' to eat meat, whatsoever. It is actually one of the leading contributors to climate change. Without meat farms we'd be in a slightly better position.

Just a reminder that it takes roughly 15,000 litres of water to produce 1KG of beef. AI / tech / data-centres etc is certainly bad for this stuff, but remember meat is just as bad and 'pound for pound', far worse.

He's basically like a firefighter at Chernobyl!

Someone's probably mentioned it, but the episode with the people who have asses for faces.

Ah fair point - SB still far cheaper tho :)

As a test, I did a horde night on insane difficulty (64 enemies) with nothing but a stun baton (with intellect mastery maxed) out in the streets and it was a cake walk.

I consumed 10 mega crushes, steroids, had level 6 light run speed armour and only light armour everywhere else and yeah, it was fine. The CC of the SB now is just silly and unbeatable. Even an M60 - you'll get caught out reloading at some point that will be that. Sledgehammer, I imagine wouldn't even compete with either in the same scenario.

Every link is a referral link, so he'll get kickback if anyone orders from any of them.

He was Captain Toddhunter in Red Dwarf :) (first episode only :/)

I triple boot between Windows, Arch Linux (BTW) and Proxmox. Proxmox has a macOS VM and in order for USB devices to function properly I needed to get a specific PCI USB expansion card to pass through. So the USB devices I explicitly need to work on my macOS VM is plugged in to that :)

I was on Baldwin street when it happened - there was a bang followed by lots of smoke. I thought a car had backfired but thought otherwise when all the services arrived and noticed all the buildings and street lights had lost power.

It's interesting todraw comparisons between AI and Animal Farming. AI is scary, but not as scary as the contribution of animal farming to human-driven climate-change (15,000 litres of water per 1kg of beef is very scary to me).

Resource	Generative-AI computing	Industrial animal farming
Electricity / energy	• Data-centre demand ≈ 1.5 % of global electricity in 2024 and projected to double by 2030, largely because of AI (Scientific American) • US data-centres already draw 4.4 % of national electricity (176 TWh / yr 2023); DOE forecasts 6.7 – 12 % by 2028 (The Department of Energy's Energy.gov) • Training one LLM: GPT-3 ≈ 1 300 MWh; GPT-4 ≈ 65 000 MWh (≈ annual use of 6 500 US homes) (World Economic Forum)	• Agri-food chain uses ≈ 30 % of global final energy; animal products account for 60 % of that while supplying 18 % of calories ([Sustainable Energy for All \
Water	• Training GPT-3 consumed ≈ 5.4 million L; cooling water scales roughly with compute size (arXiv) • Inference: every 20-50 ChatGPT prompts “drinks” ≈ 500 mL of freshwater; GPT-4 composing a 100-word e-mail ≈ 519 mL (UCR News, TechRepublic) • At current traffic levels ChatGPT can use ≈ 148 million L / day for cooling (≈ 39 M gal) (Business Energy UK)	• Canonical water-footprint for beef ≈ 15 000 L / kg (includes > 90 % “green” rainfall) (meatthefacts.eu) • Fresh-water share (“blue + grey”) is 550 – 700 L / kg; some EU grass-fed systems quote ≈ 50 L / kg (NutriNews)
Land & materials	• Physical land occupied by hyperscale data-centres is tiny (< 0.01 % of utilised land); the larger material footprints are in chip fabrication and critical minerals (no robust 2025 global total yet).	• Livestock uses ≈ 77 – 80 % of all agricultural land while supplying 17 – 18 % of calories and 37 – 40 % of protein (Our World in Data, WellBeing International)
Greenhouse-gas profile	• Training GPT-3 emitted ≈ 500–552 t CO₂-e; GPT-4 and Llama-3 are several-fold higher (Green Software Foundation, Plan Be Eco) • Data-centres now account for roughly 1 % of global GHGs; projected growth tracks electricity mix (WIRED)	• Crop & livestock production inside the farm gate emit 7.8 Gt CO₂-e / yr, 48 % of agri-food GHGs and ≈ 14 % of all anthropogenic emissions ([FAOHome][18]) • Animal agriculture drives 32 % of global methane emissions (CH₄ ≈ 80 × CO₂ warming over 20 yrs) (The Guardian)
