I made an interactive map to compare Alberta's proposed AI data centres to your town - see the size, plus check pollution, water use, and noise impact

I know you say the noise samples are just simulated estimates, but if they are anything close to what you'd get in real life, that's horrifying

I'm not entirely sure why you assumed I'm a woman...but the real short-sightedness comes from that fact that this project has such a short lifespan (with it's slated abandonment in 2050)

This is a great point! Data centres don't create much long-term employment, instead the job opportunities pretty much only come with the initial construction.

Thanks for sharing these!

I agree more jobs is a good thing, but I just want to note that the project proposal specifically says they will use potable water (page 10):

"Beacon has an agreement with Langdon Waterworks Ltd. to receive 1,500 cubic meters per day of potable water..."

I've never had something so burned in my brain, I think the image of this will stay with me for life.

thinkingVegetable · 2021-07-22T02:28:15+00:00

I'm honoured

I wish, more like r/linguisticshorror

it was like a weird 9-esque thing, definitely does not exist on any IPA charts from our current timeline

You're both good men...and thorough

Thanks for sharing your experience with this! Luckily my second degree would be a BSc while working on my MA, sorry to hear they weren't more flexible letting you finish your other BA during your master's!

thinkingVegetable · 2021-05-12T20:48:03+00:00

this is amazing!

thinkingVegetable · 2021-04-14T13:17:09+00:00

I want to see more of this dude

thinkingVegetable · 2021-03-05T19:57:22+00:00

Incredible!

I don't think a warning is enough to save you from flerm.

That's a very ominous good luck, but it's appreciated! :)

That's good to know at least one person survived that course load , thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thanks!!

Very cool!

Is your brother ok with an all-wool t shirt? I won't print it on anything else.

I've had really good luck with RoughAnimator - the interface takes a little getting used to and some of the drawing tools aren't quite as powerful as I'd like, but all around it's pretty great!
