Well I've made it exactly on time. Alles in Ordnung. Time to relax and... oh fuck me sideways

"youse guys wanna skip that line"
"skip the line skip the liiiine"
"you just need a passport and REAL ID"

"what's 'REAL ID'?"

oh no. oh nooooo

"A known traveler record, which exists regardless, is of utmost benefit to the government and should be free for those who qualify. You only pay to be 'better' than normal people"
"That's an interesting shirt"
"Thanks, it's a real smoking PSA from Minnesota Department of Health, don'tcha know"

Yes I am exactly on time to be hassled by CLEAR barkers cause I'm in the proletariat line. TV camera pointed at me rn. Pls interview me on air talent

My secret? I freak the god damn fuck out the whole morning and trick myself in multiple ways. Boarding at 10:40? Nah, read it wrong it's 10:00. Airport arrival exactly perfect

data center swamp coolers do not make water pollution worse. they put the water in the sky as vapor versus megafarms which bring it in directly through "fertilizers" - a fun name for chemical treatments

yellow journalism, ooh big stretch

It's not like that water is destroyed, and to further complicate it some jurisdictions allow draws responsibly (thank you for investing in the people's drinking water!) and some don't (thank you for the bribes!). If it wasn't swamp, it would be CRACs and that's a hell of a lot of electron movement

swamp cooling operates on water's latent heat of vaporization so it's easy to calculate how many watts that offsets. if DC > water, the DC overheats, and that's not happening so DC < water

the figure they posed only offset ~5GW of datacenter, which is way less than is installed - well over +10GW/yr

NVIDIA: we're NOTHING like Enron

Altman: we need more fucking electrons. we need more money to make more electrons and distribute the electrons. we're in the electron futures business

NVIDIA: okay we're at least a little like Enron, I see it now

When a fucking finance VP fought with a printer and said "this is what I get for working with technologists" I used it as a request to move to the back of the row and included the fact that I was a very good boy for keeping back my callout response, which was "a job?". and thus I moved

oh haha, not even wrong. quoting a Vice President crashout, surreptitiously recorded by a cybersecurity analyst, who was fired by the bastard

if anything, it proves the inverse

if you think *any* VP of *anything* is "IT" I'd say you don't know what an executive is or how they get there

not mentioning beer

I'm teaching the hoes "resilience"

hey, that's me! I wasn't estranged - yet - but my fuckwit dad didn't file returns and lied to my face after saying over and over I shouldn't worry about paying. that was a surprise cutoff during sophomore year. I went to the bursar in a panic

I had 3 jobs and no life, graduated broke. No ceremony

I think she spent it, swear-to-god, on like getting a new BMW/Benz every year instead of every two and a bunch of jewelry

the kids ain't own the means of production, and narcissists shit where they eat

& the next year we found out a friend of mine's mom (like, rich-rich) identity-thieved her kids and totally fucked up their credit for rich-bitch money. some people said "oh, well, she probably shouldn't do jail time or anything" and I flipped out - yes she should, doing that to your kids is evil

today they think we can reconcile and my dipshit mom who saw all of this and could write a check or literally any other kind of help on the sly if she were a good mom wants to set it up

I'm estranged but will have to see them this week. god damn that's going to suck. normal families make me cry
