Here is where the bubble dynamics get complicated. Tech firms don't want to formally take on debt-that is, directly ask investors for loans-because debt looks bad on their balance sheets and could reduce shareholder returns. To get around this, some are partnering with private-equity titans to do some sophisticated financial engineering, Paul Kedrosky, an investor and a financial consultant, told us. These private-equity firms put up or raise the money to build a data center, which a tech company will repay through rent. Data-center leases from, say, Meta can then be repackaged into a financial instrument that people can buy and sell-a bond, in essence. Meta recently did just this: Blue Owl Capital raised money for a massive Meta data center in Louisiana by, in essence, issuing bonds backed by Meta's rent. And multiple data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called "tranches" based on their risk of default. Data centers represent an $800 billion market for private-equity firms through 2028 alone. (Meta has said of its arrangement with Blue Owl that the "innovative partnership was designed to support the speed and flexibility required for Meta's data center projects.

I'm worried people who missed the context of these might think we're exaggerating for effect. rest assured, we are not
cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic on twitter: Edge of Tomorrow (2014) was sunk by confusing marketing and a forgettable title, yet it turned out to be one of the smartest and most entertaining sci-fi films of the last decade. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt at their absolute best. 5 cinesthetic. © @TheCinesthetic - 14h What film have you gone into absolutely expecting to hate but that ended up pleasantly surprising you the most? image from movie of emily blunt doing training for military. Elon Musk: Great movie. cinesthetic. again on twitter: Gary Oldman as Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element (1997) is pure chaos and charisma. Oldman took the role as a favor to his friend Luc Besson, never even reading the script and still stole every scene he was in. image shows gary oldman in fifth element holding enormous sci-fi gun. quoting self prompt for: What movie villain is a horrible person, but an absolute joy to watch on screen? Elon Musk replies: Fifth Element has great style.

in twisted metal 2 if you jump your car up onto the subway train there's a cheat code written on the roof of it has anyone checked if maybe there's similarly a cheat code written atop the subway train irl by jumping cars up on em it just might work no bad ideas we have to try
twisted metal 2 video game for PlayStation 1 car is jumping up atop a bus sized subway train car on top are some black letters that are hard to read from this angle. A clearer view of the car now settled on top of the subway bus sized vehicle shows clearly a down arrow and are but the other symbols are hard to see.
