For anything beyond document printing, I agree with you. But for this use case, the fact that the print head is disposable is a good call. Large plotter printers have dump trays and maintainence cycles to keep the ink liquid and moving, the parts are more expensive to replace.

Because your only using the head and ink well independently, nothing is counting pages or stopping you from refilling it. Its the best of both sides of consumable parts.

Is this an Elvis refference?

Sadly you’ll now have to find a tree with an angel on it and replace it with a bunsen burner, those are the rules of the atheism belief system 😅

A festivus pole is fine as well.

I get it, I too had an angsty teenage atheist phase (minus the abuse and arson), took a while and the folks just stopped trying to get me up for church. This is why most religions have a “coming of age” event where you are recognized as an adult and choose to stay with the group. I would guess most parents dont know how to react when their kid makes that decision for themselves before then…

Cool, if were going to set the standard. Then you should be able to recognize every symbol and what it represents between cultures, times and historical context.

The fact that you can’t identify them all is the point, and I dont expect you to, nor some dumb 20-something year old man with a public education and prospects to join the US millitary to do so either. No one is arguing against you, just pointing out that there is deeper context and a persons willingness to correct it in the future that should be weighed before the court of public opinion passes judgment.

Your response still lacks nuance, your not asking if they knew what the tattoo represented. Your drawing wide black&white judgments on, in this case, an entire demographic of largely dumb young men with an amarica-grade history education.

If they knew what it meant and to who, then you are correct, let society treat them as such.

Otherwise, you come off as having an inflexable mindset and dont believe people can make mistakes or change.

Construction and vibrations caused by the generators disturb well water systems. Or if a main is close enough, heavy construction will settel the ground and break pipes.

All the data center issues are caused by people and towns not classifying them as heavy industry. Do you want an aluminum foundry in your back yard? No, then same goes for a data center.

Yes, an odd film, but a fun one.

Not big brother, but big ocean [put on tinfoil scuba gear]

No

Shrimps IS bugs

Pretty much, in meat-space the only people ive seen who actually think this is a problem are conservative bellends or economists.

Isnt this one of the beliefs of Pastafarians?

Probably arson or finding a way to piss off an allegator, so you know… A tuesday.

How about “Couch fucker fills in correct bubbles on multiple choice test occasionally”. Top post pretty much covers it.

Spin the wheel of dystopian sci-fi and lets see where we land next week.

While I agree, the reality is space constraints. Renewables take a lot of space (mostly solar) and data centers benifit from sharing resources. The reason northern Virginia is such a magnet for them is that box was opened 2 decades ago and they get to share resources, your house pets like to sit around the warm things dont they?

The regulatory failure is that data centers are not treated like the heavy industrial buildings that they are. Foundries take a cartoonish amount of resources to run, but you dont see towns letting them set up shop near homes. Furthermore, almost no data center gives themselves the space to run the generators and not violate half a dozen ordanences, because they either run twice a year for testing (fines are the cost of doing business) or are on 24/7 because the grid cant handle their demands. Its the latter group where the managment needs to be drawn and quartered.

My proposed regulation would be that new buildings have a land requirment based on the amount of power they intend to consume (not what is provided from the grid, they can make their own power if needed). This would force hyperscaler build outs (who already have more money than sence because these are rush jobs for AI nonsense) to buy land buffers around their noisy polluting buildings. In theory, it would protect residents better and would curb the worst of the proposed plans, like that BS in Utah.

Both our ideas require legislators and relgulators to get off their asses and sharpen their axes, and of all the things discussed, that seems the most unrealistic unfortunatly…

Thursday is Objectivly the worst day of the week (assuming you work bankers hours)

• Monday: Garfield is right
• Tuesday: most productive work day (patch day)
• Wednesday: your half way there
• Friday: Congratz Sailor, you made it

But THURSDAYS… They could be friday but its not… Also the Vogons blew up Earth on a Thursday to make way for a hyper-spece expeess route.

Well they did this to me…

Well how do you know she is a witch?

No.
