Tips for Surviving the Heatwave
(thelemmy.club)
deconstructing AI datancenters for starters.
Don't think thay would even make top 100 in the list of priorities
I'm pretty sure you're correct in terms of their relative priority, but I think we should do it anyway.
Did you turn your thermostat off and sit in the dark? Otherwise you're the real problem. Not us.
- Corporates
But Ms. Frizzle told me not to run the tap when I'm shaving 😡
But how can we run ChatGPT with all of our electronics turned off?
You people have phones don't you? Just be sure to charge it with a home diesel generator. Can't have you plebes stressing the data centers power grid.
- Governments
Is this a global heatwave now?
Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That's why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years... It's just going to be hotter and drier...
Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that's drowning crops. They got an entire year's rainfall in 1 month.
I'm in California. Normal el niños give us moderate flooding. I'm tempted to stock up on sand and sandbags this summer, before the rush
Probably a good idea... The irony is the Colorado River is so low a lot of southern Cali and Nevada might run out of water.
Funnily enough, Arizona has been taking this way more seriously than California. Probably because California has multiple water sources.
Yeah California's entire existence isn't spitting in the face of God 40 million times every day
yeah, that pisses me off, too. I worship the god of blasphemy (among other things) and how can i beat the existence of Phoenix?
The rain isn't over yet either, more rain forecasted but not as severe. Except now everything is saturated so it'll probably re-flood everything that is slowly receding.
It has encompassed most of Europe and North America… and a reasonably fitting descriptor to me
And India started even earlier
Well just the one half anyway.
Global heatwave you say? 🤔
I love that winter in the southern hemisphere is a bit of frost
Also is that bush or tree back there an evergreen?
Wow. It got so hot on your tin roof that the cat atomized
Ceramic tiles
Some cool cats right there! I thought, if you're us-american, you might not be familiar with ceramic roof tiles
i'm not sure if people use wooden shingles anymore out here unless you're building a shed (and we just did tar paper on ours). nearly everyone in my town has ceramic roofs. rooves. whatever.
Anyone selling fuel free boat tours to Antarctica?
I know you're joking, but my uncle had a goal of visiting every continent. He hit Antarctica by signing onto a research vessel or something. A few hours of work a day, then whenever they stopped he got to go diving.
It's not just the short term profits, it's the power. It's much harder to control places that don't rely on fossil fuels
Buy an AC unit, even a small one that cools one room is life.
Do not eat ice cream. Reject sugar.
