is this employee in the room with us right now?

    E: I've cleaned up the comment for saucing ease in case you looked at it right away but I'll quote it here for ease.

    Yep, I'm familiar with it. More from previous comments since these disingenuous memes get pedaled here regularly. People love to spout stats about AI in data centers that aren't just used for AI without having any sense of how much CO2 is produced from really really common stuff lol. Let alone it being contingent on being run in non-renewable powered areas yet 40% of the USA's grid is clean.

    1 AI search = 10 google searches. More sauce.

    How about watching TikTok? 30 minutes of video daily = 28kg of carbon a year. Calculators here: 1, 2, 3.

    How about the recent 'Oh no 1/5 a city's water!' The city use 770,000 gallons a day... So it uses 154,000 gallons of water for an entire piece of critical infrastructure that keeps the internet running. For the entire data center lol. And that's for the city Carrol, Iowa with a whopping population of 10,000 people in 5 square miles lol.

    A real common citation is how much carbon it takes to initially train these too. 500 tons of carbon dioxide... That's the only 33/334,000,000 Americans worth of CO2 for the year lol.

  • thirsty lil devils

    Fwiw a LLM uses as much power as 10 regular Google searches... So it's almost nothing in the grand scope of things. It might even save some for the people who don't know how to utilize search engines properly.

    We also need more data centers, not fewer. And they use almost no water compared to other utilities.

  • Joe sniffing hair tho
  • Are there even any other politicians with this trend of getting uncomfortably close with young girls at press events?

    ... so every politician from back in my day? Half the shit they did was kiss babies and give hugs and kisses to people like suit wearing germ monkeys.

    I'm pretty sure they still do it too but nobody cares enough to post about it unless they have an agenda lol.

    You'd think being a faux-billionaire russian asset election tampering felon and convicted grab her by the pussy rapist would have more of an impact over politicians doing old shit like kissing babies for cameras would matter more.

  • It's basic science
  • but if you're already dehydrated it can make the situation worse.

    No, it won't. That's the point of the misconception. You even get to it later then dismiss. We aren't taking about overall health. We aren't talking about the 'betes.

    1. None of those things will dehydrate you more despite people saying differently. Not soda, not milk, even beer under 2% beer will be better. You will be rehydrated, there WILL be a net gain of water in your body. There is no net loss of water no matter how much people say sugar or caffeine will lower the net gain.

    2. If you're dehydrated, you're lacking salt. There's a reason why physically demanding companies provide free drink packets to their crews. They don't want road crews dying by the side of the road because they slammed water and had no salt on a 100 degree day working next to a machine shooting out molten tar and rock. We aren't pumping people's blood full of sterile water. Saline bags are .9% salt for a reason.

  • It's basic science
  • Spoken like a Lemming who hasn't worked out seriously or had a serious physical job in their life.

    Humans didn't spend the entirety of their existence looking for shit better than water for no reason lol. Hydrohomies and an iced glass of water is great... But...

    You know what's better than water when you need water? Nearly everything that isn't alcohol or literal piss.

    Yes, this includes milk and soda. Anything with sugar, protein, or fat is great.

    And yes, spiking our drinks with low amounts of drugs is also nice.

  • App development
  • They call that Lordosis and I've only ever seen it happen when I showed one of the females my dual sli GTX 1080ti setup while benchmarking in Heaven. Getting her off my desk with her ass in the air is a pain but she apparently likes my hand going down her back and her ass patted. Getting her off my keyboard when I'm in the middle of a game can be a real pain sometimes...

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • It could just be the same thing. Total houses in community. Apply solar cells to already owned government land or near where the current plant is anyway like most already have been doing. Just scale up and add wind in. Salt batteries all over. Bam.

    Why don't idle games mine for crypto?

    It feels like wasted power. You could at least be earning something off it. The creator can either take a cut if it's free or lump sum for paid.

    I've seen a few idle games take up a lot CPU resources, not necessarily GPU so it had me wondering. Why not make it mine?

    Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore?

    Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren't as complete anymore?

    I'm the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven't gone to Gamefaqs lol.

    I've recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death... and I've had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki... Never used to have to do this...
