💯 agree with this overall take. I can't get any meaningful work done before 5pm though tbh

Construction capacity? Maybe? But housing is needed in big cities. Diff geographic distribution to dc buildout

If there's a concern about crowd out (which, I'll stay out of, others disagree on this) then crowd out of what? Capital? Seems unlikely, datacenters are not causing interest rates to rise. Manufacturing is being wrecked by tariffs and other risks

Like if it's a bubble, then they'll just fail, noone else cares. If the demand is not going away (it's probably not), then there's an opportunity to avoid harmful noxious gas turbines and grid infra upgrades to be paid for *if* legislators push for their grid connection and emissions compliance

Making sense of the data center backlash

Now is the time to use the buildout to demand grid upgrades and help the energy transition? Like I'm not sure what value there is in trying to block their construction when the interests could be aligned www.volts.wtf/p/making-sen...

But it's quite strong, easy to eat an entire lemon or lime with the effect for a few hours

Haven't tried, the effect is really only modifies on the sour spectrum so you need really to experiment with flavors which contain some sour to get the best effect

Well... Maybe not eternity, but the vinegar is a bit weird

Public *benefit corp /nonprofit I meant to say

But it's hard to see many folks having an incentive to do it. Needs a public backed corp and (cheap) subscription model perhaps. I would try to build it myself were I not an exhausted h1b indenture.

Was talking to some friends about missing 2008 era fb ability to share photos with friends. To do it these days, in a privacy preserving manner, such that the platform couldn't use it, and with guards against reselling data... I think is quite possible, not too hard to make.

Libreoffice are fine (open-source), Google sheets is fine (closed source, but free). If they're not meeting one's needs there's probably a better tool for the job (a database) for everything else there's duckdb

First-year econ student: "police are badly behaved because they're monopolists of violence. And monopolies are bad" This occurred to me as a joke, but like... It's kinda half true that without countervailing forces, the sector can get away with shit in a way that few others can

Wtf is this? Is this what is popular?? I've heard of like 3 of these podcasts. Do Americans just never come into contact with current-affairs /fact-checked news? (hope you win!)

but in their defense most meat eaters seem unwilling to engage with the brutality of farming, so I'm more sympathetic there tbh. Meat eaters: If you're gonna eat it, you should be willing to kill it with your own hands lol.

To be sure, this is only part of the annoying behavior. The degree to which vegans often appear unaware of the brutality of the natural world; concluding that it's somehow less vicious than it really is also annoying;

I'm not sure why PETA comes across like a psyop, but one day I hope to read some research about it from a sociocultural or organizational behavior perspective. I suspect there's loads to be written about adverse selection effects of nonprofits combined with the zeal of the virtuous.

We have. More than a few I've come across over the years clearly have an eating disorder or fixation and are keen to make it everyone else's problem.

The effort it takes to get necessary nutrition is barely above the same effort it takes to avoid scurvy for any contemporary western diet; that is to say: virtually none.

I'm not a gun person, but I think this is probably true in GWOT era US missions, but isn't it very much what you don't want in a post Ukraine war? ( I dunno what you want post Ukr, but probably some shotgun I'm guessing)

I was about to say the same thing, this is just a consensus normie American viewer list. I'm not really sure what their objective was, besides summarizing imdb and making letterboxd smugly mad

Just posters from Indonesia making their daily engagement farming content for western boomers to repost, no? Like it's inane, kinda scripted halfway between joke and parable in a way that reads like an attempt to be understood by Americans but lacks localized references.
