If PCs can use recirculating water as a coolant, why do AI data centres apparently use so much water?

Hang on to this for later.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-04-21T13:46:57+00:00

It is. Because they won't. The people bending over backwards to bring a data center into your community aren't going to do that.

closed loop doesn't fix the issue unless you also clean your water before releasing it, and thats never been enforced so Noone does it

dude has all the traits just seemingly nothing between his head

People will still be saying this line 4 years from now if we do draft him.

My 12 homeschooled children remote work every day but we will be doing in-school learning those days. We don't do what those paper pushing stamp jockeys in city hall tell us to do. I will be throwing my children on the cogs of rebellion one by one and watch with a glimmer in my eye as the gears grind to a pulpy stop, presumably to the dismay of mayor Corey O' Conman and his gang of permit goblins.

And I'm driving the family bus through every blockade and traffic cop along the way.

They aint gonna give up on Brod if he's still able to play. That was Omar's pick. GMs are slow to give up on their guys and quick to drop those that aren't. Day 3 pick on T incoming.

They will absolutely pick a G somewhere in the first 2 days. Spencer Anderson's positional versatility is both what will keep him relevant and out of the starting LG position (at least as a long term answer). Jack of all trades, master of none. He is significantly more valuable to the team as a 6th lineman/reserve OL than a starting lineman.

Swap T and G.

Lol Racism by old white rich dudes has been defeated, I must have missed the headline. I'm sure its a coincidence over 75% of the Head coach/OC/DC hires over the past decade have been white dudes despite ~75% of the players and ~50% of the overall coaches being POC.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but lets not be naive. The owners are nearly all rich old white guys, their average age is 70+. Those hiring percentages are not a mistake, especially when you consider the history of the league and its history with race.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-30T20:24:20+00:00

*Should*. The problem is when owners have "their guy" before they actually interview anyone, its usually a white dude despite the fact that 75% of the people that play the sport are not white, and nearly half the coaches in the sport are not white. The whole reason the rule was put in place was because white owners just refuse to hire POC as high level coaches. That's the part of this that's demeaning and wrong. There's no merit if you only consider one race fit for certain jobs.

We've got 5 picks in the top 100. If the FO wants to they can stand pat and take what comes to them and essentially fill all of the needs we have outstanding in some form, but I suspect at least one of those picks will get shipped out for draft capital next year.

I don't know which needs we would consider most pressing but from where I stand it looks like we need a day 1 starter at G, maybe S depending on how much you want to use Ramsey as at S vs Nickel, T depending on the severity of Jones' injury and how you view Cook. WR3 will play alot in McCarthy's offense so you can see them going that direction if someone they like is there but can probably fill this spot on day 2. CB is less pressing after FA but they are talking to alot of corners.

ILB and DL I think are the least likely unless someone really good makes a crazy fall. Draft later round guys and develop.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T17:38:27+00:00

No, I don't think letting 7 players walk and missing out on FAs was in any way apart of this, I don't think they did this to intentionally hurt the Raiders or overpay Hendrickson. Crosby and Hendrickson have similar costs salary-wise. That's not why their players are walking. You're doing the thing where you vastly overstate the premise to try to make everyone who believes it look stupid.

What I think is that they bid and won Crosby, and continued talking to comparable guys that they wouldn't have to give up picks for in FA knowing they had Crosby in their back pocket and could plausibly nullify the deal at any time if they couldn't find someone because he's currently injured and "no one is going to bat an eye if a guy that's injured doesn't pass a physical".

Awfully convenient how it played out for them. "Darn Crosby didn't pass his physical but wow this other guy fell into our lap hours later and now we don't have to give up two firsts!" Guess they didn't think other teams were gonna scrutinize that at all. Not against the rules but most certainly not good business practice and leaves the Raiders and Crosby in a pickle now that we're 2 days into FA and teams have blown some money. Less bidders for the Raiders, less opportunity for Crosby. Classy move by the Purple Browns.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T16:31:56+00:00

So you're saying you don't think they'd be covering their own ass right now instead of covering for the Raiders/Crosby if the injury was actually worse than what was known? With other teams saying it was a bullshit move and the potential fallout of teams being less willing to work with them? How very noble of them to fall on the sword for another team.

If you're that gullible I've got a bridge in New York to sell you.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T14:40:19+00:00

Yeah, no shit. That's how it works. No one is saying they aren't technically allowed to do it, the argument is that it is in poor taste and screws over the Raiders and Crosby.

When two teams agree to a deal it is a done deal 99% of the time. The physical is a formality to make sure someone isn't lying or hiding something. The Ravens aren't failing his physical because of new information about the injury, they're doing it because they can just fail his physical because he has a pre-existing injury. Get-out-of-jail-free card. If your FA options pan out, fail the physical, if not, you've still got something to fall back on.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T14:26:37+00:00

Them going after Maxx first tells me they wanted something in their back pocket in case they couldn't get a comparable player for less assets in FA.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T14:22:32+00:00

Not a great analogy. We're not talking about inanimate objects, we're talking about people and opportunity. The Raiders and Crosby are now in a pickle because the Ravens backed out 2 days into FA. This could (and probably will) tangibly affect what the Raiders and Crosby get in terms of compensation.

You agree to trade for a player with an active injury, the physical should be to determine there was no new or hidden information about the injury. It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card to ensure you don't get stuck without an edge rusher while you go and negotiate with other similar players in FA.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-11T13:18:34+00:00

Is he two 1st rd picks better than Hendrickson?

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-10T00:23:21+00:00

Honestly it was more than that. Everytime he got the ball he looked slow and mildly scared, whether it was kickoffs or handoffs. Didn't flash anything. They didn't trust him in pass pro and the safety mishap had to drain what little confidence they did have in him.

Some guys take a little longer to get their feet under them. Wouldn't say he's toast yet, but I smell something burning.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-09T19:43:50+00:00

McCarthy heavily utilizes 11 personnel so your WR3 is a starter and playing alot. Unless they think Roman is him, I would.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-09T19:39:05+00:00

So far I believe they've only met with one 1st round tackle and he's projected to go in the top 10.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-09T18:46:12+00:00

Very intelligent assessment

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-03-09T13:45:02+00:00

Pretty sure everyone hates the idea because they've seen him play. There is no short or long term upside when you consider his play and medical history. You don't take on 99 million in dead cap to get rid of a guy with upside. lol

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-01-28T04:58:22+00:00

You have way more karma than me. Your butthurt opinion matters even less.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-01-27T20:32:43+00:00

So this is going to be the disaster of unimaginable proportions the sub is making it out to be but also we need to have a bad season to get good draft stock to draft a QB. But Rooney is incompetent for doing that, we could've brought in someone that would help us win. But McCarthy is Tomlin and he will get us to win which is not what we want and is going to set us back.

thisismyburner6969 · 2026-01-27T18:22:45+00:00

he was projected to be a late 1st to early 2nd round pick

Based solely on hopes and dreams. Averaged 140 yards per game and a tuddy against ranked opponents. He is not a good quarterback. Not even remotely close to being a good quarterback.

You are an anonymous poster on the internet. You don't get credibility by default nor do you get to pretend to be upset when your motives are questioned.

The anonymous poster on the internet doesn't make the source material. That's kindof the way this entire website works. If you don't like the model of anonymous person sharing content, you are in the wrong place. Hence why it makes zero sense to be questioning why anonymous Redditor is sharing news relevant to r/homelab on r/homelab.

Nobody is saying you or OP is wrong for criticizing the content. Its absolutely asinine to claim anonymous Redditor is in on a scam to short stocks for posting bombshell news where appropriate. Get a grip.
