    Starkville people…..

    There are countless coffee spots in Starkville. You seem to be of the opinion that we can't criticize businesses in Starkville that we dislike or don't find value in, because doing so shows businesses that they aren't appreciated...or something like that. That is absurd. It is OK to be...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    And here we have your second attempt at changing the discussion to be about solar panels, causing tornadoes. It is a common theme for you – trying to move the conversation to hey totally unrelated argument. The nitrate levels in my water are so consistently high, and continue to grow, that my...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    First, I want to pretend to be shocked that your take on this is 'why not do it since we have wasted money on worse things!'...but it doesnt surprise me at all. Obvious obliviousness is always impressive to see. As for why not do this...well here are some reasons- - Water would need to be...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    2/3 to 3/4 of water used in many/most Data Centers evaporates. The remaining is discharged into the municipal wastewater system(whatever that may be in specific locations). My city's water comes from shallow groundwater wells along a major river, deep bedrock wells, and water purchased from...

    Exactly. Many on the left dont want a surveillance state. Many on the right want clean air, clean water, and clean land. Claiming one ideology/side/group/party wants a surveillance state is either disingenuous or shows a misunderstanding. Claiming one ideology/side/group/party wants a...

    Oh boy. He said there is a massive depletion of water sources. Sources...as in plural. That means multiple. So he wasn't talking about water as a whole across the world. He said sources are depleted, so it was clearly a reference to more localized water sources vs water across the world. And...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    - the internet very much existed for a long time before the recent surge in data centers. - you don't need AI to be on the internet or this message board, and a lot of recent data center growth is directly related to AI and cloud use. - consumer use of AI and data centers is largely due to...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    There is clearly a ton of water depletion across the country. Groundwater subsidence is the term for when land literally drops lower, due to compaction from aquifers being used up. Examples of it are widespread and well documented. Are you saying there isn't depletion because there is somehow...

    Tuberville has an NCAA proposal that I think is fair...

    Yeah, I am just saying the restriction will be challenged, whatever it ends up being. I kinda just view that as how life/society is.

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    I think you are really downplaying the impact some people experience. In my city, Microsoft is the largest user of water for like the last 6 or so years. Microsoft is the largest user of water...and we have have multiple water usage bans in that time due to droughts and due to high level of...

    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    Why arent there bombings of data centers and related buildings in the US? I am not absolutely not advocating for this, I just find it interesting that it isnt happening at all. One of the largest Microsoft Azure centers in the world is in my town like 5mi from my house, another large Microsoft...

    Tuberville has an NCAA proposal that I think is fair...

    I think it will be challenged for it being arbitrary. Why cant someone be in school and play for 6 years? Congress is limiting the student athlete's ability to receive an education and participate in earning an income if they dont allow a student athlete 6 years. Or 7 years. Why not allow a...

    Tuberville has an NCAA proposal that I think is fair...

    Yep- let it be a free for all. Any legislation will be legally challenged, based on current political climate and societal climte. Any legislation that limits earnings will be criticized for the amount of time given to make that money. That time limit will be challenged since it will be...

    Tuberville has an NCAA proposal that I think is fair...

    Yup. I've been surprised to see how 5 years is the limit for many theoretical bills over the last handful of months. A player redshirts freshman year to get better/stronger/adjust. Why get rid of redshirting? They break a bone before junior year session and miss it....so they only get to play...

    Will Wade at LSU, off the rails, again, this time legally?

    Bediako at Bama didnt pan out. I would think Madar wont pan out for similar reason. And Luis seems like he shouldnt be able to play, though I guess this would be his 5th in 5 years? I saw LSU also is trying to get an older Brazil guy and older Italy guy to play as well. Whatever- **** is a...
