The cooling system takes water in, which carries various other things, salts, chemical contaminants, etc, you evaporate off much of the water, say our sample is 100L to start with and then evaporated down to 20L, that is 1/5th the amount in which the same quantity of contaminants exist, in a higher concentration than before.
If you dump that back into the water supply then the water supply will have a higher proportion of contaminants:water, but how much that shifts depends on how great the water supply/usage rate is. Also relevant are the "safe" levels of contaminants and how much was in the water to start with.
If your data center uses 300gallons per minute and your town also uses 300 per minute, maybe you have a problem, if your data center is 300gpm and your town is 10,000gpm then you are less likely to.
A great quip if you only intend to be a shitposter on twitter, but for someone fashioning themselves as the replacement for the incumbent mainstream representation for left-aligned politics(and incumbent government) it's a desperately unserious dodge.
Why not seize the opportunity to forward your political positions and values in the face of a little political pushback?
You're already regarded as deeply unserious as a politician for your quack positions, but apparently you're now so deeply unserious that you won't even stand for your usual horseshit?
'I can't be seen at a civil partnership. But I don't want to hurt Iain.'
Ann Widdecombe declined @IainDale's invitation to his civil partnership — but what she said in private tells a more complicated story, he argues.
@PeterTatchell Was the change of heart when you realised it looked like you were cheering her murder, rather than merely having died after a long life whining about the gays, or is this a genuine turn?
The glee with which I've seen people react to these sorts of horror stories is enormously disappointing.
I think it's fundamentally wrong to act like charity, debateably overextended or incautious/dismissive of risks perhaps, makes the end result a kind of just punishment rather than a tragedy that ought to recalibrate our caution.
"both massive self promoters"
Konstantin doesn't grant himself the political commentary equivalent accolade of being the best trader in the world or being the best inequality economist in the world.
What honest assessment of Konstantin could amount to being the "sycophantic media wing of reform"?
@coldxman "a just result by unjust means" is also an apt description of the attitude behind the January 6th debacle.
I have a feeling that unjust means to the benefit of trump's whims is just how he operates.
They didn't merely check that their work looked ok on a CRT, LCD didn't start to become mainstream until the end of the 90s.
In the 80s through mid 90s, for 99% of people, if you were doing any work involving a screen that screen was a CRT.
CRTs stuck around much longer than people realise

Nobody is saying the option of streamed games shouldn't exist, they are antagonistic to the "you will own nothing" memes potentially coming to fruition, where they are priced out of the model of consumption they prefer that also grants them a large degree of freedom in terms of the entire world of use cases for personal computing.
And the upside of maximal utilisation is easily something that steps over into availability during peak hours being limited and possibly in competition with other use cases that potentially don't want to cede that compute time to people's evening video games, which means that differing use cases for those compute hours is in competition and if the gaming is to win out it has to pay a premium which will be passed on to the customer and then the value proposition starts to change.
90/year will eventually come with awful caveats and limitations or it will turn into 120/year or 180/year or buying "tokens" that deplete at different rates depending on the time of day.
It's bad for me personally, and for friends I'd go the effort of making them something better.
But even as a die hard "build your own"-er the big plus is the investment in software for a solid couch experience that I can benefit from, even if the physical product isn't for me.
Good for anyone who feels like they're getting something they want, though, this just seems like an expansion of consumer choice.
The cost of travelling to Japan is already quite expensive, my wife and I spent around 1,000,000JPY on travel, accommodation, and doing what tourists do, that was even with us spending half the time in a friend's Osaka apartment!
Taxation is important but at a certain point it is punitive and discouraging.
For many it will be enough to put them off doing any of that spending, and the government might see their finances improve for it but the businesses servicing those tourists will simply have fewer customers.
@AimenDean Comparing UK budgets to how far our money would go in the third world is fucking retarded unless you're advocating replacing the entire NHS with remote working Bangladeshis.
@Mr_Ultimate_@M4D0GG0 The closest to reality the claim gets is that Linus invested personal money into @FrameworkPuter(and constantly makes disclosures about it), I don't think anything has been said about LMG changing ownership so he and his wife still own LMG.
@hagooomi Living room PC for a console-ish experience.
Memory costs have bloated the price beyond anything reasonable.
The buy-in is high enough that I'd honestly rather pay more for a more capable small form factor computer.
