You seem to have a hard time understanding that water is used because it is cheaper than the alternatives which already exist. This new development won’t replace water while the water remains cheap.

Good point but this will be a huge battle nevertheless and educate the complacent public about how these data centres operate.

It is a retired hippie stronghold AFAIK so there is no way it goes through. Even if it is a foreign investor, why would they not have known this?

Before your parents even die you need not only a will but two more documents; Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship which are important if the person “loses capacity” for important decisions.

Otherwise you risk the awful Public Trustee taking over your loved one’s life and their finances. The Public Guardian/Advocate will often force them into a nursing home to make way for the PT to plunder the assets.

It can happen even if you have the above documents but a corrupt social worker or vexatious family member takes the matter to a tribunal.

The tribunal is exempt from the rules of evidence and any conflict is often exploited by the Tribunal to transfer power to their unaccountable mates (public trustee/advocate/guardian).

I would say a good proportion are enablers, probably because they are thinking of themselves as “temporarily embarrassed future billionaires”

Your point about demoralising the IRGC by killing their kids is interesting but is outweighed by the predictable public fallout and the resolve of IRGC to avenge the deaths.

Picking off leaders is one thing. Killing their kids is counterproductive.

No windows, therefore quiet, and good acoustics.

I don’t understand his point about restoring your messages to a new phone. How does that prove it isn’t encrypted? Couldn’t Telegram store the encrypted data on their server, send the encrypted data back to you and then you automatically decrypt it because you have the key?

even disabling things remotely that are there but you didn’t subscribe to. This is bonkers.

I don’t understand the consumer outrage about that though. It is like paying to unlock satellite TV reception (even though we are receiving the signals the whole time).
