It’s notable that two of the leading tech industries in America are just companies that buy GPUs and burn them out for a *chance* at money.
Neither produce a product with tangible value.

From @candicebernd.bsky.social in our magazine: A Texas Observer analysis found since 2021, at least 60 cryptomines have been developed or are under construction in at least 33 counties statewide. Experts worry our grid, and water supply, can't handle the load.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

You do realize that the rut is when deer/elk breed? It's not in the springtime. It coincides with hunting season. Hunters sit in trees with doe urine poured all over them and slap antlers together to draw in bucks who DESIRE to breed (haven't done it yet) and then kill them.
