No, you're not understanding that there are other types of datacenters.

A datacenter is a building with a lot of computers. Not all of them are AI related, and in fact most aren't.
Easily more than 90% of everything on the Internet and all telecommunications runs out of a datacenter.

The thing people are currently, rightly, being opposed to are hyper scale data centers. Those tend to be filled with things like AI training or massive web services where all the pieces need to be close to each other to work efficiently.

Most data centers are similar in size and environmental impact to a shipping warehouse, but with power consumption a fair bit higher.
Any midsize city will have at least a few, if for no other reason than to handle telecommunications, and many businesses will have their own small one near their offices.

Everything in a capitalist society serves profit to its owners. That doesn't mean it doesn't serve a good we want to have around. It'd certainly be better and more efficient if my local telecom hub or hospital were publicly owned and managed with a service motive above a profit motive, but they're not and I'd rather have both than not.

What I don't need is open AI building a datacenter 32 times larger than the hospital and 128 times larger the the telecom hub to train AI models, fuck up the water and double my power bill.

A big part of the sickness is the surfactant and abrasives. The amount of fluoride in a standard tube will likely not require medical treatment for an adult, particularly because they'll throw most of it up from the bubbles and grit.

Kid toothpaste has less or no fluoride and is often a smooth gel because the goal is to encourage brushing habits, so any amount of possible discomfort is less good.

Oh, I never thought you were saying I did or didn't have to like someone or something. And I would never advocate for hurting or mistreating any animal no matter how much of a bastard it is.

I think the disconnect might be exactly how "severe" the label is. There are humans who became cops because they legitimately thought they could do good, who never did anything unjust and never were in a position of ignoring wrong doing or anything like that.
The closest thing to a moral failing being a lack of awareness of systemic justice and so on and so forth.
They're still a bastard because they're contributing to the entire thing, regardless of their lack of involvement in the specific negatives.

I don't think the dog needs punishment, just that it shouldn't be a police dog.

I'd easily agree that a dog doesn't have the same moral autonomy that a human does. I just don't think you need that to be called a bastard. Geese are often bastards. You don't hold it against the goose, but you don't forget that if given the choice that goose will nip you.

Utterly aside from the specifics: there's some research that indicates that canines do actually have capacity for a sense of morality and justice but it's limited to equal treatment so far as we can see. Not the more abstract "right or wrong action".

Damn, that's crazy. Anyway, the applesauce worked, but they definitely need a scoop of vanilla ice cream now to balance out the texture.

They can be victims and be bastards.
A police dog, put in a position to hurt you, will.
A police horse out in a position to hurt you will try not to.

Drug dogs were probably the worst example I could have chosen. A better example would have been a dog used to attack people. They may have been trained and treated with various degrees of mistreatment to do so quite so enthusiastically, but they know they're hurting you.
The police horse uses what agency it has to try not to hurt you.

If someone forces you to drive a car through a crowd, you're still morally culpable if you try to hit people. If you do your best to avoid hurting anyone within the confines of what you were forced to do you're pretty much in the clear.

Considering the stakes of bastarddom are pretty low, I'm willing to judge an animal based on what it would do with its limited autonomy.

Police dogs are trained to rat you out, either legitimately or illegitimately.
Them being victims who weren't given a choice doesn't make them not active participants, just sympathetic ones.
Like modern pirates. They're doing it because they need to feed their families and often have no real choice, but that doesn't make it okay to hurt random fisherman and freighter crews.

Police horses will do their best to not step on you when forced to ride into a crowd. Not bastard.

no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

That's absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn't a lie.

Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.

Like this?

If you look a little closer, you can see the blades are on pivots, and the holes are for water and food particles.

Yeah, I saw you were still being randomly antagonistic and disagreeable and scrolled to the end where you agreed with what I initially said, confirming that this entire thing was basically you being mad you didn't know American hunting laws.

poor hunting practices

Eh. Our parks are probably bigger than your country, so your opinion is moot anyway.

It's seriously funny how freaked out people get from garbage disposals.
They're quite safe. They don't have spinning blades. They have something closer to a dull grater and arms on swivels that catch loose food and push it against the stationary grind plate.

You shouldn't put your hand in one because the little weighted arms are going very fast and could hurt your fingers if they got hit, but it's unlikely to push them into the wall.

They're great if you have proper sewage treatment, since it keeps the trash from getting stinky and it basically just gets turned into fertilizer like a more efficient, roundabout compost heap that I don't need to remember to poke.

More a key role in tourism and managing deforestation. Natural resource management agencies take care of the difference at the end of the season to prevent starvation regardless of hunter involvement.

We almost hunted them to extinction and our continuous destruction of their habitat and eradication of their predators means they can basically never reach equalibrium again, so it's just a constant risk of over consumption, over population and starvation.

Hunters mostly make a lot of money for the area selling the license, both through fees and the economic activity of the hunters.
Actually letting things get better would involve reintroducing a non-trivial number of wolves, which is largely opposed by farmers and some hunting groups since it would reduce the population of deer.

So they do currently play a key role, but largely because it's something they want and it's generally pretty profitable. It's just treading water though, since no one with power is particularly interested in fixing it.

Knowing how.

All routers are just Linux computers managing slightly better than average network cards. (Home routers, obviously. Beefy carrier hardware is different).

A basic setup is essentially installing Linux and then running a handful of commands for packet forwarding. The figuring out how to do it without wifi crashing will take longer because that software is wonky.
