Never played settlers so I went with something I had.

Kinda like civilization?

Deep Geothermal goes deeeeeepppp to where there is a heat source that is replenished.

Shallow geothermal pulls heat where there is no replenishment, and you have to run it in reverse (use it as an AC in the summer) to swap out the heat. You can’t only pull heat out for shallow geothermal. You may be able to for a time, but also remember that heating for a house is pretty small overall.

It’s not the entire earth that is the heat sink, it’s a relatively short distance from the pipe. We don’t get the massive heat from the molten core at the surface.

You can run a geothermal loop in reverse and use the earth as a giant heat sink.

You need something to move the heat away, like water or air. Having something solid that just absorbs will reach its heat capacity pretty quick.

Maybe I should say it’s reached a real tipping point.

X is full of white supremacists.

Yes I’m aware it’s not an a with decoration jfc. I’m saying for computer entries that garble things, I wouldn’t care about matching it up so perfectly (with dropped whatever those things are called) as to not allow someone to board a plane.

That one I can actually see, having an extra letter that doesn’t match. Dropped punctuation or symbols (whatever the flair is called) though personally I wouldn’t care.

you will not be able to board if your ID doesn’t exactly reflect your details"

Do they care about an apostrophe though? I can see any punctuation being a problem for systems.

Your momma leaks government secrets.

Um can someone translate what this means?

Google has announced a major deal to harness nuclear energy, partnering with startup Kairos Power to source energy from small modular reactors (SMRs) in the US by 2030.

Don’t think this is publicly funded.

Don’t know if you can guarantee they’re disconnected.

As in don’t retire it. JFC.

By “release the kracken .io” I’m saying make it open for general use that is not country specific. We already have tons of domains, I see no reason why this has to be retired.

This is about .io being a country code and that country ceasing to exist, so .io will be retired. I say who the fuck cares, release the kracken .io.

former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said … that the demand for AI computing (this is its power requirement) is infinite and that the key point is “we’re not going to get there through conservation.”

The host then followed up with, “Do you think we can meet AI’s energy without total blowing out climate goals?” and Schmidt answered with, “We’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it — and the way to do it is with the ways that we’re talking about now — and yes, the needs in this area will be a problem. But I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem if you see my plan.”

So, we can’t reorganize our society one way, so let’s reorganize an entirely different way under AI? Right…

The cause of, and the solution to, all of life’s problems.

I’ve already had people demand “source?” for the most mundane facts. Why yes steroids do enhance physical ability.
