to me the egregious part of data center water use is not the sheer volume of water, but the return on investment for that water use. Do any of these centers actually serve a purpose? One that advances human well being? If not, _any_ amount of a precious resource they deplete is extremely bad, no?

I agree that the polluting farms are the public health hazard here which I think is your main point.

I do also think that in a time of depleting fresh water sources and no end in sight for that depletion, I feel like we ought to be serious about wasting water.

rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

And youre completely right that it's the latest in a series of consecutive episodes demonstrating the inevitable, degrading impact of legalized sports gambling on sports as a business, as a culture, and as entertainment

I stg the main thing that people in this country seem to aspire to these days is running a succesful racket. This is pure hustle grindset thinking. Its not important that youre obviously getting a bad price (risk vs payoff), a chance for free money cannot be ignored
