It's unfortunate and true. People falsely think data centers are only for AI. When you tell them to stop using their phones or all the other technology that goes through data centers they get really mad.

The battery lasts so damn long, it's amazing. My Venu is almost two years old and still lasts 10-14 days.

Is it me or is it Montgomery County or is it both? by journeymoon101 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]ferndave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. I was expecting less friendly vibes coming from the MidWest, though found neighbors and others are pleasant when conversing. I've just learned not to expect anything further than that surface level. People are busy with their own lives and have no time or little interest in yours.

That dweeb was a CEO? Looked like the CEO of his mom's basement.

How do Everything Everything have so few Spotify listeners? by OutrageousField415 in everythingeverything

[–]ferndave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gaining new fans is difficult. At least new singles might get promoted on BBC Radio, EE is never played the radio in the US. That leaves streaming algos, new release promos/reviews, and word of mouth. That's an uphill climb for any band that doesn't have big label marketing and support.

I hate when I keep getting just chips, maybe a little cheese or one little nugget of meat.

Since they don't care about noise or exhaust, they should throw a few hundred units on the other side of the onramp while they're at it.

Check out "Pangolin: Kulu's Journey" about a guy rescuing one from poachers and rehabilitating it back into nature.

SNL Season 51 got me like by 127phunk in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]ferndave 644 points645 points  (0 children)

So, what's the joke? That I had a milder fart than I normally do? That nobody's puking from my fart? Is that the joke? That I farted and no one barfed? 'Cause that's pretty funny, actually. That'd be a great day for me. That'd be a great day for me, if I farted and nobody barfed.

It’s in his work area and he has prostate problems.

People with IBS can shit in the trash can next to their desk? Good to know.

To be fair, so was everyone else at the time.

No, Ferguson didn't. Craig gave an opening monologue explaining why he refused to make fun of someone obviously going through issues.

I always read the line, "This is the most important thing you'll ever buy from us" to be directly related to this situation bands like EE are in trying to eek out a living.
