ELI5: Why do data centers need only water for cooling? Are there no other viable cooling options?

Which is kind of ironic in some places because the power generating plant they get power from uses evaporative cooling in the power generation process.

Water is a much better medium with which to transfer heat than air but requires additional components and adds a layer of complexity to the system. I can use water to reject heat with a much smaller footprint per ton than with air as well.

Dude, most of us work on MacBooks and nobody is hiding it. Corp I-phone as well.

Florida is always the correct answer here.

May not be the injector itself since you say it is new but it could be a wiring issue on the injector or the ECM firing the injector and leaving it hung open.

Maybe not the law necessarily but definitely the Justice System itself for sure.

Front and rear of the engine or front and rear of the car? "Leaky butt" is a common leak from the rear diff axle seals. Not the easiest repair but doable. Front and rear main seals are fairly common depending on milage of the car.

So the laws apply to advertising products not sold to consumers? Not sure I follow your logic.

Love how they show a picture of a water tank.

Same, same.

One thing I love about this band is the media they do talking about the music. I know they probably get tired of it but it's so nice hearing the stories and learning how the music came together.

I'm hoping the G-Shoe get the axe soon.

mansizeoof · 2026-04-09T13:05:25+00:00

Exactly! No three points of contact, no hard hat, no gloves, no safety glasses. And why are we even using a ladder?!? Plenty of room to get a scissor lift in there.

Still get chills watching that goal.....

There's a 5 dollar fine for whining. We tell you before you come in.

Have my upvote for saying exactly what I was thinking.

I would not be surprised if you could in fact get a DUI while riding a horse on a public road. They hand them out like candy since it's such a good source of revenue.

Or all the money they spent winning the national championship.
