The time and donations can be a wash for possible enjoyment of sermon (ok not likely) and community ties/togetherness benefit from membership. The cost is assured loss of soul. Best Church business models are to collect your soul to sell to/serve Satanic evil tyrants instead of teaching truth/humanism. Since Charlemagne, you are not allowed an independent conscience to assess whether your Church/Emperor could be doing evil in the name of your soul (Holy spirit is same matter as divine right to warmongering/genocide of your ruler, and whatever they say in the name of god is axiomatic). But if you do not have the more obvious responsibility for not selling your soul to evil, as path to heaven, then every random person who convinces you the path to heaven is through the sacrifice of virgins or minorities, is a proposition you should consider if there are no social consequences.

Public support for the church may be a very small effort/price to pay. But, contrary to expectations, it is a pledge of demonism that if not necessarily, 90% certainty, damns your soul to any existence of eternity.

Pascal’s wager: It costs me nothing to believe that Jesus believes in a Yahweist god that supports zionist, roman, and all empires afterwards claiming full divine authority for their genocides. Supporting the church’s favorite tyrants must be the path to gaining everlasting rewards if any exist, because that must be what Jesus meant.

9gw if run 24/7 (capacity utilization is actually low on average in US) is 551.88 twh/year. 1500x. Natural gas is not that much cleaner than coal from co2/ghg warming perspective.

I would have considered this over a mini pc. Most ergonomic setup is keyboard and mouse in a drawer. Fairly small USB monitors that are placed at edge of desk is a field of view similar to 30+" at end of desk, and even closer than a laptop monitor. These are also fairly portable, lighter than a smaller tablet. Mini PCs have much more ports including 4 monitor support, that this may not have.

its 9gw of consumption. 19gw of total heat generation.

17gw of heat is both under and over estimate.

3,600 of those industrial-scale generators to power Stratos

Caterpillar 2.5mw generators have maximum efficiency of 45%, and so 19gw is peak thermal power. that is roughly 26 hiroshimas per day.

It’s an over estimate because datacenter cpu/gpu capacity utilization is on average under 10%. It could still produce all that power for export to trap all that heat in a valley.

Georg Levin got somebody new. 2nd Chorus punched up quite innovatively, and better drum track. Nothing taken away or interfering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOEMSuxYPQ

Harder better (daft punk) – piano intro, more pop format, but also more advanced dance beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwu-m39ek-w

woodstock - csny is a cover of Joni Mitchell

Like all other wars, Taiwan would be a US proxy push to suicide Taiwan. There’s a reason people would be cautious, and as recent as a couple of years ago, 80% of population favoured some version of status quo.

It’s a government alliance/colonial control arrangement. People are the ones being surveyed and have clearer picture. IT would be interesting to see how close Russophobia propagandized EU countries are close to the correct answer.

isn’t 4d a line of cubes? would need 6d for cubes of cubes?

its ok for coastal mediteranean too. He did use it through canals of northern europe to get down to spain.

Styx would like a word.

The reason you can’t buy RAM anymore is that “projections” are 16gw+ of AI deployment in US this year requires 70% of RAM to be for AI. 5gw is a practical ceiling for projects currently in active development. NVIDIA not only is growing its undelivered inventory at huge rates ($30B latest), its customers have $150B in “Construction in process” inventory as they aren’t getting transformers and utility hookups to finish/power on their datacenters. The circular financing by NVIDIA is just forcing their customers to shift unused GPU inventory into their warehouses. It eventually leads to less new sales/manufacturing of their GPUs, and then hopefully, RAM price normalization.

I understand how black representation, and safe districts, makes incumbents in those districts angry when taken away. Broader power though comes from majority, and past GOP gerrymandering has indeed focused on making 99% dem/black districts so as to make more 55% GOP districts. This is actually the path to both corrupt fascist power monopoly, and increased divisiveness with low voter turnout. Generally, black representation is a distraction for serving other agenda. Obama won due to zionist supremacist establishment approval. Tim Scott is GOP insider with GOP/Zionist first agenda that ignores black issues.

The point is that black representation doesn’t change anything. Like Chuck Schumer, their job is to gaslight the blacks into supporting Israel.

Mixed districts does promise less divisiveness. GOP candidates can’t be all in on KKK/Palantir genocide of all undesirables, or ICE siege of Memphis, when they need Memphis voters too.

Memphis voter turnout can now make a huge difference in Tenessee congressional representation, and Israel/DNC first cooption less important than Tenessee/Memphis relevant issues/harmony.

US (enterprise/kubarnetes) datacenters also average 5% gpu and 8% cpu utilization. Much of datacenter buildout is for “reserving” capacity, even if existing infrastructure could accomodate "spot rental"or “serverless” (let google/aws cram your work request into the machine of their choice) to get 6x+ more “tokens”.

Google/Amazon/MSFT circular investments in the big LLMs are all entirely funded in compute credits. Even if they eventually escape profit velocity, it bleeds equity to the mega tech oligarchy, while padding their revenue/stock price growth.

need for quota to grow, but overall, its better for Canadians to have cheaper Asian shoes, than rely on US owned industry that wants subsidies while cutting production here. Even if Canada gets a labour cut, which is in extreme doubt, US plan is to isolate NA market to extortionist uncompetitive oligopoly.

Your link is based on them only making $1.3B in q1, instead of hoping for $1.4B profit. As AI would say, that’s not broke, that’s a 1300 foot superyacht.
