Does anyone else think 90GW of power for AI (not to mention the cost in water and infrastructure) is asking too much? Meanwhile, affordable EVs are too power-hungry...

I'd rather eat once per month at a truly fine dining restaurant than eat multiple times per month at fast food restaurants. Typically, I spend less, and I leave the meal feeling satisfied and impressed.

Gen Z is the lost generation of the 21st Century. Millenials, we need to show the rest we are best. Help Gen Z and Alpha become the next successful generation. We are the bridge from the past to the future. We must win elections and create the opportunity for them to flourish.

Maintenance is an important part of life. While it can be frustrating to repeat things over and over in this world of short form content, it can be meditative and also a good workout. No weights required!
