Yeah; an industrial brewery could smell off at times. But the ppl going on about datacenters as though it’s like a pulp mill or iron foundry relocating to your neighborhood are a little much.

Shrug

You asked about energy usage; but I have no idea as to how that bakery's natural gas usage affects the people surrounding it.

The smell of freshly baked fig newtons might offset the possible increased cost of gas-per-cubic-foot.

I suspect the Nabisco plant in Chicago pulls about ~12 million therms worth of natural gas, at 30kwh per therm, that's pretty significant.

What the courts did to the studios back in the '40s should be done today. Your company can either commission/produce original content OR you can be a distributor OR exhibitor. Only one.

There are industrial bakeries that burn that much natural gas (powerwise); although the bakery probably smells better.

I've read plenty; even aside from their glazing of finance, the unsigned articles & snotty-brit house style are grating.

I always read that word as though it were being pronounced by Daffy Duck; "you're dethpikable!".

If the product arrives at the quoted price, I could give a shit if their website was done in ActiveX controls for IE6.

whoosh

They're pro-offshoring of any sort of industrial base. Line-goes-up!

How many destroyer keels has U. Essex laid down this decade?

The Economist is a mouthpiece for the money power, specifically the banking interests of the Rothschild and Cadbury families. The idea of making money by making things (as opposed to arbitrage) is anathema to them.

Nah. It's giving votes to whatever politician promises to put certain regulatory regimes out to pasture. You may find that you like some of their other policies far, far less than "seeks to restrain creeping safetyism".

Presumptuous busybodying as a service.

“The Waltons”; I think. Unclear how rural Virginia in the 1930s translates into Bulgarian, must’ve been interesting.

Of the important life-lessons to have before one turns 18; "don't ever be the third or fourth owner of a Hyundai" is right up there with not eating the yellow snow.

There's no shame in being broke, of course-it is merely a catastrophe. The fourth owner of a '11 Sonata is gonna have a different outlook than the fourth owner of a '73 Mercedes 600 Pullman.

Who told you that? Unless you buy your Hyundai new, or CPO from a dealership, the powertrain warranty is 5/50.

...which AFAIK isn't transferable. IOW, used Hyundais are cheap for a reason.

Ahem:

“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” ― Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

This so isn't true, that it's not even wrong.

Least surprising result ever.

I imagine that an ancient roman would think "Oleum Castorum? It's either oil you get from rendering beavers, or oil you use to lube your beaver..."

Did you know anyone who owned a building that had been tagged?

If it's Oracle Tape, it's proprietary T10000-series 1/2in linear tape and associated drives, that they got when they absorbed Sun (and Sun got when they bought StorageTek). Multiple vendors made tape media for these, but they were not compatible w/ LTO tape nor the IBM 3590-series enterprise tape format.

You could use tape as a backing for Venti arenas; don't know if anyone ever did so. The original Bell Labs fileserver used an MO jukebox for WORM archives, which today LTFS tape is a pretty close approximation of.

Counterpoint: DNS isn't used enough; consider replacing sssd/AD with Hesiod.

Yeah, I almost had a heart attack the first time I saw someone do a 'cfgadm unconfigure' && 'cfgadm disconnect'; then pop open the side of a prod box, press a button and pull a card out.

"See, oracle's still running!"

Things like that used to be how one distinguished enterprise hw & sw vs. PCs w/ delusions of grandeur.

Hasenpfeffer is a German dish; per Leviticus rabbits aren't kosher.

I'm not enough of an expert in 12er Shia fiqh to say how credible they are-but they are there.
