Pretty minor. If they picked up the whole data center and soaked it in a large jug of 10% acetic acid for about nine months, the concrete would lose about 20% of its strength.
Not sure about the civil engineering side, but I assume there’s enough safety factor in your average construction to account for 20% strength loss.

Then it’s a problem of reading comprehension, because absurdism is not that. Absurdism is finding joy in action.
The only reason I have any remote ammount if happiness is that I broke the boulder. Sisyphus is a bitch.
Go wallow in your misery then.

Oh, I’m not implying you didn’t read the book. That part is extremely obvious. I’m implying that you didn’t even bother skimming the wikipedia article.
Not really sure what I can do with that. Maybe you’ll be better off wallowing?

Hmm. Well, it is pretty clear you didn’t do any reading.

Well, there’s a whole book about it. Matter of fact, the dude wrote many books on the topic.
Type “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” into your search engine of choice.

Yep! That’s how it goes.
You can see something similar if you look at Ukraine threads talking about Russians, or Gaza threads talking about Israelis.

I don’t care enough to upvote or downvote anything. Maybe that’s not the right way to do it, idc.

I only noticed because the second time I sat on the other side of the couch she was sitting on to check when the fireworks were gonna be, and she straight jumped up and out of the room. I wasn’t like, close to her or leaning her way or anything.
I probably give off some kind of creep vibes, I just don’t really understand how or why, and at this point I have zero clue on how to fix it. Guess I just gotta accept that single straight women under age 50 avoid me like the plague. Old ladies at the yacht club love me.

I mean, I definitely don’t start convos the way people want me to start convos, either. Idk. Just had the weirdest experience last night. Two weeks ago, I met this girl who was pretty cool in a friend way. Also, she doesn’t swing my way, no problem. Cool person. So last weekend I went out with her and some of her friends. One of her friends was kinda cute, we talked a bit, but not long at all. Nothing I would consider serious. I wasn’t trying to hit on her. She didn’t seem uncomfortable at all.
Then last night, hanging out with the same group of people. This girl I talked to would straight up run away if I got within ten feet of her. Happened twice, and then I started avoiding her because like…clearly causing distress with my presence alone.
What do I do with that? I mean apart from keep avoiding her, cause clearly she doesn’t want to be anywhere near me.

It’s absolutely a skill issue by my age.
I have gotten dates at the grocery store before, which is where the second skill issue comes in: women don’t stick around very long.

Lol I don’t get laid
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 2 weeks ago:
Eh.
I’m still in my mid 30s and involuntarily celibate. I’m just not an incel. I recognize this is a skill issue on my part, not the fault of women.
Fuck it, in a couple of years I’ll fuck off into the ocean and go sailing.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 2 weeks ago:
Problem with that is that there’s a very small window in which saving an incel/femcel is easy. Before that window, they’re generally still normal but maybe withdrawing. After that window…interacting with them just kinda sucks. You need to have a certain willingness to deal with excessive self-deprecating sadness and basically make life worth living for them.
Incel/femcel communities stew in that toxicity, so it’s easy to add your own toxicity to the stew. Normal people don’t want to put up with that shit.

Have you ever looked at the color theory of economics? It was originally about cars. When the economy is nice, people buy fun color cars, because they like fun colors. Then the economy is shit, people buy black/white/gray/red because those colors maintain resale value.

I see an immediate collapse followed by a quick recovery, personally. If the Internet goes down, a lot of other shit goes down too…until we get the old telegraph lines running again.

I had a friend who bought a BMW a while back. The blinker literally didn’t stay on. You know how in most cars, you move the blinker and it kinda stays in place and blinks until you turn the wheel? Yeah the blinker in his BMW didn’t do that.

Cancer like cancer alley in texas, where life expectancy is a full decade lower than the nice neighborhood five miles further.
Gas plant pollution is currently responsible for approximately 21% of asthma cases in the country.

Yes it is.
Then again everything causes cancer. Aging causes cancer.
- Comment on We have brownouts in the summer and Kevin O'Leary wants a Data Center built here. 3 weeks ago:
Yes, that is my point. It is completely unreasonable to make gas clean enough to not affect air quality. We do what we reasonably can. And that results in pollution.
- Comment on We have brownouts in the summer and Kevin O'Leary wants a Data Center built here. 3 weeks ago:
Well, I think we could easily start by synthesizing high purity methane. As long as you do it very slow and in small amounts, you can at least get rid of hereroatoms. After that, we could have several stages of carb/exhaust loops to ensure complete combustion. Of course, you’re going to need to heat the last few stages.
Then you just spent 10x the energy you’ll get from the natural gas just making it clean. Checkmate, liberals.
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 3 weeks ago:
Well, do you really think two would have been enough? Even three is a little short, what if one gets the sharts? Four sounds nice, until you realize they can get sick twice. Five gives you four backups, but a revolver carries six shots, so…it would be smart to have infinite IT, because infinite things can go wrong.
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 3 weeks ago:
That’s…actually wrong for once.
The entire plot of the first Jurassic Park was caused by (a) corporate espionage and (b) lack of information about frog biology. (a) directly led to the security systems being sabotaged, and (b) led directly to dinosaurs reproducing into a population the system was not designed for.
Unless you think capitalism is the reason people don’t plan for events that cannot be reasonably expected to occur given the information at the time.
- Comment on We have brownouts in the summer and Kevin O'Leary wants a Data Center built here. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, sure. Of course, the phrase “sufficient exhaust scrubbers” is about as reasonable as “100% perfect combustion” in this context. Engineering or no.

Perfectly combusted butane only releases CO2 and water, too. The point of that experiment is showing nothing burns perfectly. Even 100% pure methane burning at 100% efficiency releases CO2, which has measurable toxicity in humans.
That being said, largery hydrocarbons will generally burn less perfectly then smaller ones. Methane has 1 carbon. Butane has four. Gasoline has 8-10, lower grade fuels have more, tars get to 20-30. Coal is a mixture of tars and hydrocarbons with even longer carbon chains.
