More and more Texas voters are having the same issue with trying to vote for a Democratic candidate and it automatically picks the Republican candidate instead so they have to keep selecting the Democratic candidate till it finally accepts it. How many voters didn’t catch it yet.
MAGA Republican William Raymond Catron has been arrested for possession of child porn. The arrest came after a thumb drive fell out of his pocket in a police station parking lot. The device, contained more than 2,000 images & 100 videos of child pornography, & photos of Catron
A MUST-read interview with a Siemens employee explaining just how high demand is for energy equipment right now because of AI:
1. The whole situation is shocking even for people who have been in the business for 40 years. They are getting orders that are double the size of what their entire factory can produce in a year.
2. Demand is so high in the last 5-8 months that they don't need to convince or send any analysis (such as CO2 emissions, etc.) to clients because they just want the equipment, because there's so much backlog that they just want to catch the order.
3. Decisions are being made very quickly by clients; the backlog for some of the energy equipment companies is 5-6 years. For transformers, the situation is even more difficult.
4. He mentions that right now, data center builders do not care about sustainability; they just want power at any expense, reliable power. They say they will think about sustainability later.
5. The orders have gone from previous 20-30 MW orders to now 200-500 MW units. Customers have previously wanted to get equipment from different OEMs, but now they prefer an integrated standardized solution.
6. An interesting dynamic is that even though the data center requires 100 MW, the builders are buying N+1 units of gas turbines (so more than just for 100 MW) as backups, as well as having more energy capacity, as they believe they will continue to grow that data center.
7. He does believe there is some double booking going on on transformers and switchgears because of extra-long lead times.
8. Everyone is trying to reduce PUE, and water use effectiveness, but even after improving, they just use the same power to run more compute.
9. The problem is also liquid cooling, as it is expensive, and water availability in many regions is a problem.
10. Margins on equipment in the sector have gone from 4-6%, where they were 2-3 years ago, to 20-23% and in some cases even 40%. The data center builders know the margins are high, but they are fine with it because they just want to get it.

🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert.
He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000.
Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet.
Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.
The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public.
Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment.
An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him.
A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation.
What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?
@FedExOffice I’m livid about the service I just received from one of your employees. He lied and would not allow me to sign for my package. I have the proof that it only required a signature and not an ID. Who can I talk to about this? I want him held accountable.
