I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.

Thanks.

It’s pretty obvious from the context.

H&S?

“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.

“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.

Edit:

The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…

The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.

A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.

Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.

This wouldn’t have even made a difference in the assassination attempt.

The politicians who are against it are the vast minority, they’re just extremely vocal and irritating.

Somebody’s getting fired and that company is getting sued. I’m very curious how much this outage will have ended up costing the global economy.

I’ve started buying DVDs and Blu-ray again after years of not doing so because there have been multiple instances of me purchasing a movie on some streaming platform and then it no longer being available. Also, there have been even more instances where it’s less expensive to buy the physical product and then rip it than it is to buy the digital copy.

Good!

I’ve started building mine up again, too, because too often a movie I want to watch isn’t available to stream and purchasing a physical copy costs less than a digital copy.

People do use decimals in Fahrenheit, mostly when talking about body temperature.

And 98 is not what’s considered normal, though it is within the normal range. Closer to 98.6 is normal.

Sure, but I never see people use two decimal points in real life when using Celsius to describe weather.

Tenths of a degree are more noticeable in Fahrenheit than in Celsius for the same reason.

Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius because it’s more specific and I will die on this hill. 71F feels different than 72F and yet they’re both 22C (for example).

Metric is better than imperial, though. Obviously.

I meant because it does not sync between different devices.

Should have used Signal.

I don’t think you’re being beaten up for it. I certainly am not beating you up for it. But usually, yeah, the screen does come back on during the flight. I think they turn it back on automatically every time there’s an announcement. As somebody who finds screens like that very distracting and even migraine-inducing (the “busyness” of that sort of thing is a big trigger), it’s really frustrating.

Have you ever turned a screen off on one of these planes? They turn back on. So you turn them off again. Sooner or later, they turn back on. And repeat.

They also automatically turn the screens back on repeatedly after you turn them off.
