I've seen this idea floated around and it's so fundamentally wrong that any professional suggesting it can be dismissed out of hand on anything they say.
Just because it's being passed around a lot: NO, data centers in space do NOT benefit from space being cold. Space is cold in the formal sense we use to define temperature. But it is very bad at cooling. What would you rather have to cool hot metal: a lukewarm water tub or a giant cold atmosphere?

On Human Rights Day, the UCP used the notwithstanding clause to take away Albertans’ rights.

Now they have gone even further by trying to stop the courts from doing their job.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Rewatching Battlestar and JFC it was prescient. Armed, masked thugs ripping mothers from babies, grabbing innocent people with no warrant. A self-important buffoon as President. Fascists stripped of humanity. On and on.

Mueller found 100's of trump contacts with Russia. Republicans covered it up. Here we are. trump has been compromised by Russian Intelligence his whole adult life.
America’s Foreign Policy Now Aligns With Russia
Last week’s release of Trump’s National Security Strategy made one thing brutally clear and that is that the United States is no longer fully shaping its own foreign policy.

since I had to take it out of my bio for space and since there are some new folks here, I'll say this again:

this is an AI hate space. this is an NFT hate space. all this generative AI/crypto bullshit is hurting people and our planet, and I refuse to have anything to do with it

*I didn't "predict" this, but I did read that speculative Adrian Norman paper back in 1978, and this is very "data haven." Heaps of offshored black money, punitive strikes. Means, motive, opportunity, it's not that hard to figure out

Aw shit, it's a-koo-chee-moya time.

Fun fact: the "Native American" consultant they hired for the show's Native aspects, "Jamake Highwater", was a complete fraud who represented himself as Cherokee when he wasn't in the slightest. His real name was Jackie Marks and he was European Jewish.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

The same MSM widely blowing smoke up Farage’s arse are precisely the same ones coming for Labour with everything they’ve got - because this is the most progressive government we’ve had in generations. And they are delivering. This terrifies the right: With. Everything. They’ve. Got.

I wasn't thrilled when BIll agreed to this debate, but it did provide us with this absolute banger of an exchange showing the difference between science and firewalled faith in nonsense.
A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"

Bill Nye said "Evidence."

Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."

I think about that a lot.
