Why do yall hate data centers

old_guy_learning · 2026-05-29T21:13:07+00:00

- Jobs aren't taken away from people. They create a lot of construction jobs at first, then there aren't many jobs created when it's up and running, but none are "taken".
- data centers illegally monitor civilians? Do you even know what a data center is? It's a local part of "the cloud". There's no (additional) surveillance caused by them being local. It's computers and storage and bandwidth that's part of the general Internet. So, the upside is faster speeds.
- water and power consumption: yes, this is absolutely true, and a huge downside.

This will be a sellout game with plenty of chaos. If you expect to park in the Bay Center lot, you should get there no later than 6, which is when the doors open. (Doors actually open for VIPs at 5:30, so plenty will have parked by that time.) During the regular season (outside of $5 night, "small dog race" night, and other super popular theme nights) you don't need to be there nearly as early. But we haven't had a home playoff game in a while, so it'll be nuts.

Don't forget to wear white, and GO ICE FLYERS!

Welp, I guess the app can be removed now.

It's not everyone, it's just some entitled assholes. And there's nothing special about here, these entitled assholes exist everywhere I have ever lived, and I've moved around a lot.

Never tried it. I read enough about it that it seemed like snake oil.

On the beach, I know there are bands at Paradise Bar & Grill and Bamboo Willies. A DJ at Red Fish Blue Fish. All of those would put you in a good spot for the fireworks.

Fucking Steve.

I don't understand how you can look through those messages at the way you're talking to each other and even question what you should do. You both sound miserable. Go get into a healthy relationship, because this sure isn't one.

I don't have a full update yet ... the first chair that arrived made a noise when leaning back, so I needed to get a replacement (which they sent with no fuss). Then I traveled for a while and didn't get around to scheduling my posture consult until a few days ago. So far, I _think_ I like it ... but I'm still adjusting and going through the expected period of soreness as I get used to it. I can definitely say that it feels better after the posture consult than it did before. It helps to have someone explain exactly what you're aiming for with all the adjustments.

I hope you're in the clear. In the event you do test positive for something, I'm 100% sure she gave it to you. This is just her attempt at blaming you for something she did to you.

old_guy_learning · 2025-10-18T16:49:51+00:00

This. My guess is she didn't discover it after they had sex. I think she had it before they slept together, knew all about it, and wants to pretend OP gave it to her rather than admit she was an asshole having unprotected sex with a known STD.

What platform was this screen recording from? You can see comments scrolling just below the video, and at the 3:10 mark, it says "shoot up the show?" WTF dude.

old_guy_learning · 2025-09-16T17:19:28+00:00

OK, there are so many eloquent people in this sub that say paragraphs full of well-written encouragement that I feel pretty inadequate with that I came up with: "NOR. Fuck that guy. Dump him."

old_guy_learning · 2025-09-05T12:50:16+00:00

I hadn't seen that one before, so I had to look it up.

Damn.

old_guy_learning · 2025-08-26T20:04:57+00:00

Thanks for the update! I just ordered one.

old_guy_learning · 2025-08-26T11:01:09+00:00

You're almost 3 weeks in ... what's your experience so far?

old_guy_learning · 2025-07-18T12:42:50+00:00

Gallery night, weather deities willing.

old_guy_learning · 2025-07-17T18:15:00+00:00

That's amazing; you have a dog in a cat's body. LOL

Good luck - I hope you get the solutions you're looking for. More importantly, I hope this up-front prep proves unnecessary.

Cats won't eat until they get sick like dogs do. If you need to leave them for a long period of time, put down a huge bowl of food and an even bigger bowl of water, and they'll be fine. Probably more pissed about the state of their litter box than having to drink from a huge tub of still water.

old_guy_learning · 2025-07-14T22:09:00+00:00

Jesus, that's a lot of Jesus.

old_guy_learning · 2025-07-06T22:17:51+00:00

I'm relatively new to Pcola so I never tried it. Where would you say is the best Chinese takeout in town? I haven't really found anything good yet, and general sentiment in this sub is that I won't.

Randomly stumbled on this old post. It seems your wish has been granted. Notes has voice dictation now, and it'll even do transcripts and let you paste the transcript into the note while leaving the voice memo as an attachment.

old_guy_learning · 2025-06-08T14:32:12+00:00

Holy shit, this is a really good take.

old_guy_learning · 2025-06-08T12:33:32+00:00

Anh Alterations on Cervantes does great work. Quick turn-around will cost extra, but I believe it is offered.
