(/s this is a shit post, I don't think it's likely Trump fellated Bill Clinton, and I'm not sure what the morally correct course of action would be for Bill if he did)

ICE & federalized national guard troops are being sent into American cities.

Literally who cares about White House renovations?

As a sorta aside, the tide of solar and batteries coming online are *the* factor we need to understand to understand the near to medium future grid. Sources of demand that can turn off with time of day or season are going to be basically free, while spiky at-will supply will be super valuable.

Maybe a tiny bit, but line loss is small. If you can turn off data centers during rare power demand peaks you might actually need to build out *less* than the power demand of the data center (though I don't know if any data centers are actually doing this).

One of my oldest friends is making it work and working on a game developed in this way though!

Fields of Aaru is a cozy life sim crafting game set in Ancient Egypt. We've been developing it for almost 3 years. Farm along the Nile and meet the locals. Explore the sands beyond, discovering oases, tombs, and pyramids.

I mean draw and generation are both valid measures just measured at different locations.

Using it as a gross approximation of the size of a data center that also seems fine? It's like saying "Ford has 300,000 SQ ft of manufacturing in Nevada".
