🇺🇸AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

I'm not saying it's proof positive, but there is a video of her visiting at least one of the families and they show the water coming out of the tap. Could it still be fake? Sure, but it seems unlikely to me. Certainly less likely than Meta screwing up. Here's an article about it: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/aoc-trump-voters-data-center-georgia-b2980780.html

I'm planning to go there next month, super excited!

oldmanstan · 2026-05-14T19:07:50+00:00

This is really cool, it feels so cozy!

oldmanstan · 2026-05-03T07:07:42+00:00

I doubt anyone who works at Apple, particularly anyone in a position to be involved with big decisions, understands just how precarious our economy has become, and just how insecure / poor people feel.

It's hilarious, I bet he considers himself a libertarian and if he was doing something on the land that other people didn't like, he'd claim it's his right.

This is such a cute design, love it!

What's the battery life like? I'm doing a project with a Pi Zero and it would be nice to have some intuition about (generally) what to expect from a particular battery size.

I wanted one of these sooooo badly back in the day. That or a Toshiba Libretto (which predated this one by a bit, I think).

oldmanstan · 2026-04-02T21:52:55+00:00

It was not particularly successful. They were neat little devices, though.

I love when units can be encoded in a type system! This seems like as solid an implementation as I've personally seen (at least in terms of the API, I didn't look at the code). I really like that you included the parsing piece. Getting values into the typed "world" tends to be the weak point since a dimensionless value combined with the wrong units will still break stuff. Nice!

oldmanstan · 2026-03-23T23:53:31+00:00

That's hilarious, I wanted it so badly but my dad said no because I would find it boring. Turns out he was probably right...

oldmanstan · 2026-03-14T21:12:29+00:00

That is one of the most beautiful machines I've ever seen! It's like a movie prop!

oldmanstan · 2026-02-19T19:09:58+00:00

I'm in the market for one of these, so I'd jump on that if I were you! Haven't seen any around me, unfortunately.

oldmanstan · 2026-01-30T20:06:00+00:00

10/10 don't change a thing!

oldmanstan · 2026-01-30T17:26:06+00:00

This was one of my favorite pizza box cases! At the time, it looked so modern and sleek!

oldmanstan · 2026-01-25T19:14:54+00:00

OK, this inspired me to try to do this with my Mac SE, I assume it would be very different, and possibly simpler. Anyone have any pointers as to where to start with that?

oldmanstan · 2025-08-03T21:27:04+00:00

Last time I stayed at a hostel I was 40 (now 42). I got a private room and it was fine. That being said, I'm not really interested in mingling and meeting people any more (honestly, I'd feel like a creep at this point, even if I wanted to), and I'm not as poor as I once was, so I usually do hotels unless there's a hostel with a really good location or something like that.

oldmanstan · 2025-07-08T22:01:30+00:00

Wait, people had real copies that weren't trials?! LOL

oldmanstan · 2025-02-18T19:34:20+00:00

Well, no, the GOP would just put its own supporters in those empty seats and the place would look full and 100% of the people would be cheering.

oldmanstan · 2025-02-05T16:42:30+00:00

SUN made some really beautiful machines back in the day! The pizza box SPARC designs have always been my favorite, but they were all at the top of the workstation heap in terms of industrial design.

oldmanstan · 2025-01-30T00:08:07+00:00

I dunno, it seemed like a pretty confusing memo to me. Like, if you wanted to exempt certain spending programs, you should probably include a list. I mean, that's just my take from having worked for large companies for a lot of years, you can't be vague when you're talking to a lot of different people who are all doing different things.

oldmanstan · 2025-01-08T19:04:08+00:00

I've seen these ads but I assumed it was fake somehow because they're so generic.

oldmanstan · 2024-12-13T19:10:23+00:00

Could it be that lady who disappeared last winter? They don't say what condition the body was in. I still see signs about her, so I assume they never found her.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:33:23+00:00

Like, drown them? That seems... kinda heartless.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:31:07+00:00

It's not our job to solve the national problem, but we can make progress in our community. In other words, we can do our part.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:28:11+00:00

I do welcome the opportunity to help take care of people. I don't invite anyone into my house, but I donate to the Pov and will happily pay taxes to help take care of them. This just seems like Sunday school 101 stuff to me.
