The company, which is owned by the private equity firm Blackstone, touts a “closed‑loop” cooling system, which it says does not consume water for cooling. Like a laptop or cellphone, the chips housed in data centers can easily overheat — generally requiring a lot of water to cool them.
The company said its water consumption was so high last year because of temporary construction-related activities, such as concrete work, dust control and site preparation.
I've never heard of water shortages due to construction needing so much. WTH are they doing on those sites if what Blackrock says is true?
I doubt that caring about Palestinians is mainstream enough to make it worthwhile to pretend (unfortunately). If you can't make yourself care, just STFU.
Remixes are bit of weird thing, because depending on the genre the original release might already include remixes. See here: https://basskruit.bandcamp.com/album/kopstoot-ep ("Ketel (Requake Remix)" is my favourite on that EP)
A collection of satirical images depicting the annoying orange.
An extremely ridiculous selfie.
Some good smut.
A good, important book that might soon find its way on a burning pile if the general state of things doesn't improve. Especially if it's something not extremely common, it might actually have some scientific/cultural value once unearthed. Texts do actually get lost/forgotten, and the ephemeral nature of digital media plays into that, too.
I also know fewer people who complain about cars while not being able to afford them. Once you're out of college/university age, it's pretty rare to not be able to afford a car at all - it might be a bit difficult, but certainly possible. Anyway, if you care about the right thing being done (i.e. fewer people using cars, better public transport, better bicycle lanes), why does it even matter if people advocate for it for the wrong reasons?
I personally know several people who could afford a car and chose not to.
Either way, lots of social issues can be called "jealousy" if you're callous. Workers demanding higher wages don't have to be free of jealousy to be in the right.
FFS, no one ever argues that we should replace nuclear energy with fossils, even the genuine fossil fuel lobbyist politicians don't argue it like that. Why even bring it up?
IMO, only reason to ever use anything but apt at this point is if you want to process the output in a script. Used to be a bit more murky because there were actually a few apt-get commands that weren't available through apt.
Either way, I learned it this way when I could still be arsed to fuck around with Linux distros for fun, and now I'm kinda stuck with it.
Tried it for pretty much that reason, turns out I hate its system GUI and can't be arsed to learn a different package manager than apt (at least not if it's not much faster and simpler than apt).
I doubt that whether a naked body is "shockingly disgusting" plays a role in most countries' laws ...
Also, where? In a lot of countries, laws around nakedness aren't even consistent between internal regional subdivisions.
