@fishbonker68 No. It's because you literally *can't* do that. It was obvious with a quick Google looking at the sheer volume generated vs required. We ain't replacing shit. Canada's got the cards. America is losing everything from reputation to trade deals. Trump is trash at making deals.
@BrianJa76659216@tedcruz So you think the asshole that flew to Cancun during the ice storm and claimed he was just "dropping his daughters off" after the outrage because 200 texans died... gives a fuck about you? Really? It's another greedy career politician lining his pockets. Always has been.
@skiingonmoney@independent24PA@60Minutes Continue. Are you retarded? You don't have to fuck over a local community to build a datacenter. Notice how the ~5,000 we built before had pretty much zero push back? Hyperscale DCs (which I work with directly for my dayjob) are a completely different beast. Outrage is justified
@Osinttechnical More like we don't have the fuckin' ammo. That's the real reason. Anyone with eyes and a brain and who is willing to dig through public procurement documents for the past 15 years knows we're just fucked right now. They can't increase production, spinning that up would take years
@independent24PA@60Minutes You're trying to make an argument and it won't work. You can build AI datacenters WITHOUT fucking communities over. Other countries, like China and most of the EU and even Russia have figured this out. This is just corruption because they can slide a bag of cash to the local gov.
@independent24PA@mariotahitoe@60Minutes Go look up what these *sound* like and you'll see why nobody wants hyperscale datacenters anywhere near them. You can hear them miles away. They're orders of magnitude louder than airports.
@independent24PA@drsarkchasmmd@60Minutes Fucking everything. They're jet-engine loud for one. They also blast infrasound below the levels of human hearing but its LOUD pressure waves. When in the USAF we were required to limit exposure to infrasound. Let's drop one of these in your neighborhood since you're all for it.
@independent24PA@60Minutes You have no idea how these things operate. Or how loud they are. Or how much they pollute with toxic chemicals into the groundwater, or how much water they consume. If you're so for it, then how about we drop one in YOUR neighborhood then? You'll turn into a NIMBY real quick
@BLT21_@CENTCOM You actually believe the government isn't lying to your face when you look at gas and diesel prices? Truck drivers are paying $1200+ per tank now. EVERYTHING is about to ratchet up +40%~ in price within 6~8 months - if you can even get whatever it is anymore due to driver strikes
@CENTCOM CENTCOM lyin out its face! Anyone who has seen diesel prices knows this is a load of utter horseshit. No oil is flowing. US only has one winning move and that is to restrict or deny diesel exports. That or deal with a truck driver strike, which is currently being organized.
@Calmchaosnow@ZelenskyyUa You're not familiar with Europeans and war, are you? No wars de-escalate. Not for the last 3,000+ years. They continue onward until one side is completely destroyed and unable to fight in any meaningful capacity. Then the losers are enslaved and subjugated.
@RockyMtnRapscal@sentdefender Unless you're blind, we're already in WW3. China and Korea are just waiting until Russia pushes into NATO, which will stretch the US military too thin and it will be forced to abandon either the ME, SE Asia or Europe. It can only fight 2 theaters. We can't even handle Iran...
@AllNightLongJay@mtgreenee Iran was only a nuclear threat to Israel. They have no weapon system capable of even reaching Diego Garcia (2.5k miles), let alone the mainland US. Iran is more than 7,500 miles from the US.
@JOHNMACCW5@mtgreenee The same time when you get your DOGE checks. Or your tariff checks. Or your $5k "vote republican" bribe check. Which is never.
Venezuela doesn't have the infrastructure built there to refine petroleum from crude. It would take at least 5 to 6 years to build it...
@22justinx@jacksonhinkle War is the most chaotic shit you will ever experience. The closest thing I can think of that can accurately describe it is floor 9 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. If you have time, you destroy the equipment before abandoning it. This was a complete route of US-Saudi forces. No time.
@22justinx@jacksonhinkle If you're getting shot at or blown up or hit with FPV drones do you really want to sit there and try to find the fucking keys, or the guy who is authenticated to start the vehicle? What if the biometric they used is on the hand/eye that got blown off? 🤦♂️ dude, *think*
@PatriotEthosUSA@jacksonhinkle How do you think China got stealth aircraft tech in the first place? Yep. Because an F-117 got shot down during Kosovo and the bought the wreckage off the locals. The whole entire Iran war is the worst tactical and strategic blunder the US military has ever had.
