Canadian baseball fans absolutely crushing canned beers at the Canada-Cuba WBC game

Hell yeah

Kind of agree that this would have fit right in with the Kobe legacy of pretending that he was the best at things

Should've brought in Kershaw to give up the grand slam there.

this doesn't hurt kobe's legacy. he's still one of the 10 best shooting guards in lakers history

another lie

Everyone on here lying about how many points Bam Adebayo scored.

I went on NPR this weekend to talk about Trump's suggestion that tech companies build their own power plants to power AI data centers. I had just published a 12,000 word report on the topic, so it was hard to distill everything into a 4 minute segment. The "bring your own capacity" (BYOC) idea that Trump mentioned in his State of the Union speech isn't a new one. It's been discussed at virtually every utility commission over the last year. In the broadest terms, BYOC is good policy. The US hasn't been expanding its power grid for the last 10-20 years because electricity demand has been flat. Now data centers are changing the equation triggering huge demand increases. The question is who should pay for the new transmission lines and power generation capacity. Virtually everyone—including many tech companies—agree data centers should foot the bill, not everyday utility bill payers. But electricity policy is complex. There's a federal regulator (FERC), 50 different state regulators, and grid operators that span multiple states. One version of this policy that's become popular is to force data centers off the grid entirely. The idea is tempting, if anything for its simplicity. But it would have some negative consequences. Consider OpenAI's Stargate project in New Mexico. The 2 GW data center will run on its own "microgrid" powered by inefficient gas turbines. That means it will be powered by 100% fossil fuels, which results in far more pollution than a power grid, which can make use of nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, etc. This Stargate project will emit 14 million tons of CO2 per year, according to permit documents we found at Cleanview for our latest report. To put that number in perspective: New Mexico has spent 20 years decarbonizing its economy and in that time has cut emissions by 14 million tons. So in this case "build your own power plant" means wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywh…

Hhhoollly moly. 14 MTCO2-e for OpenAI's fossil-fuelled Stargate data centre

As @michael-thomas.bsky.social says: "wiping out 20 years of climate progress—in a location with more land and solar potential than nearly anywhere on Earth"

Cheese is better than respect anyway.

This umpire's name is Denver Dangerfield!

Moved to tears by the greatness of this umpire's name.

Breakfast is for the birds

West Madison Street

I still love Echo and the Bunnymen so much.

Truly unthinkable that a player without a mastery of the predominant language in a clubhouse might still be able to go about his business and be a good player and teammate.

JJ Wetherholt's first hit of spring is an ICBM three quarters of the way up the batter's eye to dead center -- against Devin Williams.

Photo taken from a passenger car window showing a man wearing full camo biking along side the road. the bike is towing a dead deer, indicating the man is a hunter. in the background there is a burger king parking lot wherein a man is throwing up next to a car.

once and a while i like to share my favorite photo of all time

Never gets old, man

probably not

I made it through it, but it took me two sessions.

Movies need abbreviated cuts instead of extended cuts.

Luis Gastelum's changeup sets Jacob Reimer down for a strikeout.

The specs:
81.4 mph
-10 IVB
52 inches of drop
10 inches of armside run

It's a left-handed breaking ball from a right-handed pitcher. Absurd.

I remain partial to pitchers who chew gum while on the mound.

Somehow I just noticed that Ohtani had a 1.90 FIP last season.

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

That's fine. I just don't want them to get any illinois tax dollars.

I will miss working with this dude immensely. Great things ahead for him.

Bring back the word "webmaster."

Chris Quinn should consider caring about the profession half as much as this grad does.

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin,
patron saint of tired scientists, grumpy fieldworkers, and hating your own manuscript.

Duncan Robinson is too old for this shit. 😂
