It's actually a really cool concept honestly. I do this on a very tiny scale at home. I run a small server cluster largely as a playground but also for things like Plex and Vaultwarden. The waste heat from that is pushed out the back of the rack and a heat pump water heater a few feet away uses that to help heat water.
As you said, seems like there are many opportunities to do this on a much lager scale.
Ok, maybe I'm just spoiled somehow, but that's REALLY high for sleeping. If it's over about 72 I just straight-up cannot sleep. I can flex that a little with good airflow and low humidity (windows open).
I can't possible imagine having to sleep in that temp after a full day of strenuous physical activity. I guess if you were somehow used to it but that seems crazy.
Furthermore, does this cooling strategy (minus the AC units shipped in) even come close to offsetting the burned fossil fuels to actually move all these athletes to another country and set up the games? Asking cause that seems kinda relevant....
Oh no
anyway
the asshole that put lead in gasoline.
Given the knowledge of the time it increased performance and fuel economy. It wasn't until decades later we realized it was horrible to humans and we started to phase it out.
I mean, asbestos was seen as a "wonder" material for a long time before we understood how terrible it was. Hell they used asbestos snow in wizard of oz.
...everything? It's probably a shorter list as to what's not wrong with them.
takes notes so I can bring a quart bag with 3.4 ounce bottles of acid onto a plane.
Damn, I feel old now....
This article is short on details but what I really want to know is WHERE is that data coming from and how the fuck does United have access to it?! Also, a follow-up question would be how does one ensure they don't get access to that data? Is that even possible anymore?
What do you mean? It's on the internet! Everyone knows you can just post fake shit on the internet!!
Does that mean we can also burn the boot licking thin blue/green/red flags? 🤔
Wasn't there a video where Trump was saying this is what would happen if Biden won but everything in the video happened while he was president? I seem to recall that 4 years ago...
It is being used in some places actually:
