This is the road where people are driving 154 km/h. A residential area with young families on one side, a park on the other.

And yet for some reason, people are clocking Autobahn speeds here. A few years ago a guy doing 100 killed an elderly couple. 1,500 crashes on this stretch in the past decade

This makes so much sense. Instead we have Doug Fraud making things better (faster?) for those who speed.

In #Switzerland, fine for a speeding driver is based (1) on how far over the limit the driver is going
(2) on how much the driver earns.

One man caught driving his Ferrari at 137 km/h the in an 80 km/h zone in a village near St. Gallen was fined 300,000 Swiss Francs (today, $375,000 US).

Pay attention, Canada. OpenAI is currently trying to make a deal with our government to build data centres here. Our hydro bills are about to go *way* up. 😑

Nate Bowling @natebowling.com · 11h

Open AI is currently building a data center in Texas that will require roughly the equivalent of the power the Hoover Dam produces to operate.

Last week the Whitehouse killed a renewable energy project that was going to produce as much powers as three Hoover Dams.

None of this makes any sense.

For what purpose? We desperately need medical professionals of all kinds - from nurses, to doctors. This is another stupid, stupid thing to do. but, it came from Doug Fraud so I'm sure one of his pals is making money from this.

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

Yes the Americans will be buying cheap lumber from Russia. Think about that…..

Ravi Parmar @rparmarbc.bsky.social · 1d

Canadian lumber built the roofs over American families. But now, according to Trump, it’s a national security risk…

This economic attack is a major blow to our sector.

But we’re coming together - industry, First Nations, and government. And we’re fighting back.

From Empire of AI by @karenhao.bsky.social.

Google said that its data center planned to use an estimated 169 liters of fresh drinking water per second to cool its servers. In other words, the data center could use more than one thousand times the amount of water consumed by the entire population of Cerrillos, roughly eighty-eight thousand residents, over the course of a year.
