AI data centers require significant water primarily for thermal management to prevent servers from overheating, as well as indirectly through electricity generation and chip manufacturing.
Direct Cooling: Most data centers use evaporative cooling systems, where water is circulated to absorb heat from processors and then evaporated in cooling towers. This process consumes large volumes of freshwater, with estimates suggesting that 50–60% of withdrawn water is lost to evaporation. Indirect Water Use: Approximately 80% or more of a data center’s total water footprint comes from the electricity it consumes. Power plants, particularly those burning fossil fuels, require massive amounts of water for steam generation and cooling. Manufacturing: The production of the specialized high-density chips used in AI training requires "ultrapure" water to rinse silicon wafers, with some factories using up to 10 million gallons per day. AI Intensity: AI workloads generate significantly higher heat densities than traditional computing, forcing facilities to rely more heavily on water-intensive liquid cooling or increasing the strain on evaporative systems to maintain operational temperatures.
I read an article once on how power stations could use massive (and I mean massive) spinning cylinders to store energy. Seemed within our engineering capabilities but it required room temp. super conductors to really make it work efficiently.
Just as a weird segway, I decided to divide the 144 by the 13 tribes rather than 12 and there is a recurring decimal of 76923, so I then searched Jewish 76923 and got..
The term "Jewish 76923" likely refers to one of two distinct topics found in the search context: the E-Y6923 Jewish Haplogroup or the artist Cary Leibowitz associated with the number 76923.
E-Y6923 Jewish Haplogroup: This is a specific Y-DNA lineage identified by FamilyTreeDNA. It is considered "Jewish" because the vast majority of men with this haplogroup are Jewish or of Jewish patrilineal descent. The common ancestor for all E-Y6923 men lived around 200 CE in the Western Roman Empire (likely Italy), while the major Ashkenazi sub-branch, E-Y6940, traces back to an ancestor around 650 CE. It is the second-largest Y-DNA branch among Ashkenazi Jews.
Cary Leibowitz (Museum Show 76923): The number 76923 appears in the context of a retrospective announcement for New York-based contemporary artist Cary Leibowitz (b. 1963) at The Contemporary Jewish Museum. His work is described as comic, text-based, and often Jewish, addressing identity, queer politics, and kitsch.
there are some weird co-incidences in this world :)
I'm starting to wonder if the 'No Kings' protests were the DS getting ahead of the game as they knew what was happening.
I mean, at present there is zero credibility to argue that Trump is acting like a King, so it would make sense.
This is by design because everyone has to own dollars in order to pay for oil.
The US has exported it's debt over the years via treasuries which has kept inflation in check - there are a lot of moving parts to this whole scenario and I don't pretend to know them all, but I do know it's a massive house of cards.
At this point I don't think anything can save it, so replacement is the only logical course of action.
The things that Trump is doing looks like a controlled descent, which means that he is strengthening his position prior to this replacement, whatever it is (which must already be in place otherwise he's taking an outrageous risk).
Factor in BRICS (which was supposed to replace the Petrodollar dependency) which is now under threat and it only re-inforces the idea that there is something else in the wings.
Whether it will be good or bad for the peons, well, time will tell.
However, I trust Trump - he's obviously building a legacy and no-one does that by screwing everyone over (See Genghis Khan).
A degree is just a fashion accessory to them, no more.
What a massive contribution this person is poised to deliver to the world.
