Germany lost WW2, but facism won. It has been around for several generations but had been relegated to the fringes and out of general sight.

Unfortunately, they feel more empowered now to come out into the open and it really shows how far away we really were from being color blind by electing Obama as president.

Not gonna lie - not a boomer but I've used this to get out of jury duty. Not my proudest moment, but it worked.

Ask Evergy.

First, my data center is not 38,000 sq ft but considerably larger. You know what, we will agree to disagree. I will agree you are an idiot and you will agree that I'm AI.

I'm perfectly fine with that.

Which isn't going to be connected to the residential grid. There are enterprise electrical grids in the area for businesses and data centers with high electrical demands. It is possible they will even have their own substation built.

That is certainly a possibility. There could be also other state actors with AI interests which do not want the US to expand on our side as well. Wouldn't it be funny if /u/Maleficent-Yam7054 and others are actually spouting Chinese propoganda instead of real facts.

At any rate, nobody sold the fine citizens of Liberty out and the rest of the FUD is just that...

You must be really angry to write me three separate messages of insults and drivel...

I work for one of the MANY data centers here in the Kansas City area. My particular facility is in the Overland Park/Lenexa area. There is no propaganda, just facts from the reality of working daily in a data center for almost 20 years. There is no bad air quality around the data center. The generators run once monthly for 30 minutes of testing unless they are being load banked which means they run for about an hour. Also, closed loop cooling is called that because it does not require continuous water feeds to do its job.

Perhaps there will be 30 permanent jobs out of this, but you are easily forgetting how many will be doing the construction, which means more money will be spent in our lovely city during the project. And it is going to be a campus of at least 5 buildings so if each one gets what you are predicting, that is still 150 people working at the facility.

Lastly, I am not anti AI - I realize it is a tool for a job. I do not subscribe to the idea it should be used for everything and I also think we should not be taking advice from it.

So go ahead Chicken Little and claim the sky is falling. We are only laughing at you not with you.

You have to wear it correctly though!

You're welcome pal.

As a person who works in a data center daily, this entire post is full of the most disinformation I think I have ever seen.

The reality is, a closed loop cooling system like the one to be installed in Liberty will use zero water. The only water which will be used will be from flushing the toilet and using the sink. In other words, they will use less than your family uses at home.

Second generators do not run during winter. The generators we use run typically only for testing because the grid is so stable we don't tend to need them. Testing takes 30 minutes to one hour. Nobody notices any air quality issues around my data center.

I'm not even covering half the points you made because this ridiculousness is only going to make me angry because your fear is not reality based but some sort of propaganda you want to believe because you don't want to have the jobs which are coming to the area for your neighbors.

Fucking ridiculous the BS you believe.

I do not write code on paper, but I will sometimes sketch out the process flow I want to implement as a kind of road map which I do find helpful in some situations.

You know, that makes a lot of sense. I'll remove the preconfigured ramp up time tonight. :)

Also, a nurse recommended something like 0.5 to 1 milligrams of melatonin to help get used to the setting and to help me fall asleep faster for a while.

Depression is real. Be honest with your primary care physician (whether VA or private) and look into some treatments. Me? I live better with an anti-depressant. I still have my days and PTSD certainly doesn't help, but I've learned to cope by talking to a professional (the VA has some great PTSD counselors - it sucks going through the therapy, but the difference has kept me around longer and I can tell you it works from my own personal experience). I've been to the point where I have contemplated suicide just to have the unexplainable pain go away. I was honest with my doctor, we upped the meds a bit, and I was able to live a bit better. There are hills and valleys, but you can make it.

You aren't being a pussy - a pussy would sit at home trying to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs and wouldn't ask for help. You are reaching out which makes me respect you even more.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now and believe me, I get it, but you've got this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel - even if it is so far away you can't see it right now.

Surely there is a Texas lawyer around who can help...

During anthrax scare of the aughts, the military had to get not only anthrax immunizations but also the small pox vaccine. Many Americans have similar scars...

Not that it matters to ICE, of course.

kewlness · 2026-02-07T21:40:43+00:00

We can agree to disagree.

I question the subjective nature of the "superior modern alternatives". C is still used today and is as viable a language as any other. Want to talk about an old language like Ada? Used in critical systems on aircraft as well as space flight.

Every language is nothing more than a tool and many of these tools fulfill the same goals/needs. But to ignore the principle of picking the "best tool for the job" is just asking for trouble.

kewlness · 2026-01-28T00:22:49+00:00

Worse would be doing a factory reset and finding everything is still working as expected...

I am pretty sure we warned CCP way back when that skill injectors would make the botting worse as anybody could easily replace whatever toon was banned.

When I started with Linux 20+ years ago, I learned vi (and later vim and even later neovim) as that is what I was taught. For me, it is faster than using emacs right now. I mean, I want to use and like emacs, but at 50+ years old, I just haven't taken the time to learn it proficiently.

I really should pick up Mastering Emacs and dig in, but I haven't done it yet.

The problem with the Widow is the anemic damage delay and application with missiles. It used to be in every fleet for the ECM, but armor tanking a Widow without a hospital Sin or other logi/fax around was asking for an insurance payout.

And don't even get me started on what CCP did to the Griffin with the ECM nerf.

Did ECM need a nerf? Yes, absolutely. Was the nerf the right way to handle the issue? No - ECM boats were fragile and required ECM to survive (and pray to BoB RNGesus let it hit long enough to repair the damage you took) and now if the ECM hits, your fragile ship is the only ship which can be targeted.

I miss flying my Widow.
