"Russia Bad" + "Data Centers Bad" = frothing libs

I think the "russian bots got hit" narrative is mostly a big cope. The same libs would likely be very upset about the destruction of US AI data centers, but I think some half-awake libs would actually consider cheering for it. So this gives the "good data centers" a scapegoat for the anti-AI data center fervor to dissipate without impacting the US AI bubble.

It's a very odd contradiction that can collapse like a house of cards with just a tiny bit of critical analysis.

    Actually it's more like they cut off the eyelid of your third eye to keep you from closing it. This causes it to go blind through a process of constant stimulation that results in complete desensitization.

    I heard about it from some alternative medicine enthusiasts and libertarians. Some of them are also very concerned about fluoride causing dysfunction of the pituitary gland, but I don't really know anything about that.

    I do remember there was a time where a lot of full tankers were parked offshore because the price point was "too low". Not sure how that quite equates to negative rates, but I don't know enough about how this value is calculated in that context I guess.

    The synopisis: During the Covid pandemic, New York City created an Open Street on 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights and Corona, Queens — which was one of the city’s pandemic epicenter, where thousands died. The Open Street quickly became a lifeline to residents desperate to exercise or socialize in a socially responsible way. But even as the pandemic faded, residents quickly realized that the 34th Avenue Open Street had become an essential amenity in a neighborhood with among the lowest amount of park space per-capita.

    Quickly, neighborhood activists rallied and got the administration of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio to commit to a full buildout of the Open Street into its current configuration: Paseo Park, which, as its name suggests, is a 1.5-mile long promenade for cycling, strolling and just connecting with neighbors.
