My name is Thomas-Ryan Lawakua Cleek. I was born and raised on Oahu and have lived in Kapolei my whole life. I graduated Kapolei High School in 2011, and have been in and out of college since. I am an active member of my community and this is a synopsis of my doings.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The most likely window for start of episode 37 is between tomorrow November 26 and Thanksgiving Day, November 27. This forecast may change if additional unexpected deflation events occur. Previous episodes have been preceded by hours to days of precursory overflows of degassed magma.

It’s ingrained and indoctrinated on US military members not to follow Unlawful orders. Trump never has taken his oath seriously, he will never understand this.
