Per acre is a meaningless statistic when your concern is water usage and its impact on your water supply.

Those aren’t real though. That’s just more propaganda. The noise can’t be heard very far away and power prices aren’t necessarily increasing if it’s increasing base load enough to …

Stockyards and the increase in beef consumption it enables would do far more damage global warming-wise than increases electrical load that could be solar offset in a few years. Al…

Most of the datacenters I’m seeing protested out in the west are already in zoned areas for industry or are in the middle of nowhere and people still reject it.

But that’s stupid of the locals to block it. They are rejecting the little bit of money that would come into their economy from the AI investment.

They destroy grocery stores that offer variety in every neighborhood they operate in. They offer worse service and people put up with it because the rest of New York is subsidizing…

Based on zero evidence. It’s very easy for a government to step in as a participant, ruin the profitability of a sector in an area, and offer a worse service. They have no profit r…

That presupposes that the left in the US wants to do the right thing. Something like government run grocery stores is not clearly correct and there is very little evidence supporti…

This feels like a way tailscale’s model fails. On the surface it seems fine but if you push on it you realize auth keys to register new devices are way over powered but yet there i…

You keep handwaving away any requests for something concrete to discuss. If it’s so easy to construct a viral license for access to science, just give an example of it. > Out of cu…

No, in a much more direct sense. By the time a Starlink sat re-enters its fuel is gone so it’s mostly a pile of silicon, solar panels, lithium batteries, aluminum, etc. The circuit…

Statements like these embolden climate change deniers because they look so panicked beyond reason. Spain isn’t “completely on fire” and Spain frequently has fires like California. …

If they left of the distance yes.

It’s cheap to deliver mail and even then many of those places don’t get mail to their home. It’s to a shared mailbox. > LEO Satellite internet is only cheaper because the environme…

Always easy to say as the person with internet on the internet where the people stuck in those locations can’t speak. Maybe it’s okay for you to not have internet.

Apple TV is not a TV. It’s the terrible quality of all of their TV apps that leads to this behavior.

You must not use the TV apps. Both the Samsung and the LG ones suffer from this. I was not suggesting Jellyfin was better because the apps don’t exist in any meaningful sense for T…

Nope, defense is an action to prevent an attack. China isn’t building coal plants to stop global warming. Also, the world isn’t two sides. There are tons of participants on this si…

> and that various massacres also had black perpetrators. the implication of your message is that this is not true

No it’s not. Saying “I won’t talk about how to make bombs” is not the same as “the holocaust didn’t happen”.

That’s still whataboutism because it’s not the only alternative.
