He's not wrong, it will take 3 to 5 years for anyone else to create competition. So he's looking at milking the shortage for all it's worth.

Of course, that assumes there aren't major bankruptcies across the data center space, causing a lot of those contracts to be void. Like if a certain bubble were to burst over the next 12 to 18 months.

    Glad to see a more realistic critique of the report. Too many places are screaming about how it's apocalyptic, worst ever horror story.

    The reality is it's not good, weak at best. The most troubling part being the wage growth. But when you have the Great Recession and the Covid pandemic in recent memory, calling it a disaster is just ridiculous. Hyperbole just evades from serious discussion of the problem.

    WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

    Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
     

    About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

    So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

     

    Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

    So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

    I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
