Rolls Royce? Sure, what else do you do.

I have gone thru multiple custom mattresses over the years, but I'm still definitely below $10k total. I never fathomed this level even existed, much less getting on it.

As I understand it:
- Data center scale is largely gated by cooling capacity (raw HVAC size, or available HVAC input power)
- Dumping surplus heat into vacuum is one of the biggest challenges in anything space-related.
So how do "data centers in space" possibly work at any meaningful scale?

Spent part of the evening hanging out with a lady going thru my in-laws' stuff for an estate sale, sorting junk from valuable.
She put old boxes w/ MS Office CDs from 20 yrs ago in the "keep" pile. People will buy the older editions bc then they get software w/o paying a monthly subscription.

Takes two minutes. Feels cathartic to remind him he'll never be president if he can't grow a spine.

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
