I could see that as well. Guess it’s like the Ed Shereen lawsuit where there is a finite amount of riffs on a guitar, and its what you do with it.

That looks like Nathan Lane wearing a toupee.

Not a complaint though, love that song and this riff was different enough that it seemed more homage than anything.

Cool video/song, definitely sounds like the guitar was pulled from Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm.

? OP was claiming that the majority of data centers use closed loop/refrigeration systems and I was pointing out that US data shows the vast majority use evaporative cooling. They posted a few comments pushing that idea which is why I refuted that. I’m not sure what the point you’re trying to make is in regards to those two statements. I’m not disputing the accuracy of what you’re saying, just unsure of where you’re going with it.

Got any info to back that up? Here’s a screenshot from page 39 of the US Data Center Energy Usage Report, which shows the use of closed loop systems (which they call dry cooling) as one of the smallest percentages of cooling types used. Pretty sure you’ve got it completely backwards on the types of cooling used, and I know for a fact the massive Amazon data center out in Oregon uses evaporative, because you can’t drink the water there as a result.

Did they ever release the names of the pilots rescued? Kind of weird that the largest rescue operation in the history of the US- that definitely happened, for reals- never released any images or stories or anything.

Thanks for the extra info, I never paid much attention the last time it cropped up (because fuck all parties involved), so I had thought it was Spotify going after him as opposed to what sounds like them turning a blind eye to the situation. I guess for them, any amount of perceived usage of their product is a win. I wish the either the courts or congress would do something about arbitration clauses in terms of service, they are highly anti-consumer.

Wasn’t he just caught pumping his numbers on Spotify like six months ago? My first thought when I heard this story was that it was that all over again, but apparently this time Spotify is also involved? Bailed on them years ago, constantly reminded that was the right call.

Pretty much any Jets qb would likely fall into that. I’m sure Geno Smith would’ve had a better career as well, although he may have had his own issues at the beginning.

[-] KnitWit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I’m surprised more players haven’t done it, or at least the top ranked qbs. Being locked to a bad team for the first five years of your career can put an end to it before it even begins.

Two-piece band consisting of a drummer and a guitar and bass combo utilizing loopers. Seems like a bunch of people (includng myself) have just discovered them from a recent KEXP broadcast.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.
