"A single Google search requires half a millilitre of water, while ChatGPT consumes 500 millilitres for every five to 50 prompts. Multiply these figures by billions of daily interactions, add streaming services and cloud storage, and the result is staggering: data centre water consumption has reached crisis levels, with some facilities using more water annually than entire cities."

"According to industry data, a 1-megawatt data centre can consume up to 25.5 million litres of water annually just for cooling – equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 300,000 people. To put this in perspective, a medium-sized 15-megawatt data centre consumes as much water annually as either three average-sized hospitals or more than two 18-hole golf courses."

"Hyperscale facilities operated by companies like Google demonstrate the true scale of the challenge. Google’s data centres average 550,000 gallons (2.1 million litres) daily, totalling approximately 200 million gallons (760 million litres) annually per facility. Microsoft’s global operations consumed nearly 6.4 million cubic metres of water (approximately 1.69 billion gallons) in their most recent reporting year – a 34% increase from the previous year."

I've been having electrical issue with my 94 Suburban. Batteries going bad (but under warranty) - 3 replacements in a year. Eventually the starter, distributor and alternator also went bad...
With each fix the "slow-start" issue remained - like the battery was low. It finally dawned on me that I must have an issue with the ground wire either to the engine block or chassis. I checked both and they were secure...
Then I called a friend who is a automotive savant - he asked if I had disconnected the ground wire to check for corrosion?
Me: duh! Why didn't I think of that?
Anyway, I pulled them apart and sure enough they were heavily corroded. I cleaned them and re-installed. Then turned the key and no slow start issue! (I'll be ordering new battery cables to replace both since they are original from 1994)
So if you have older vehicles, try cleaning the ground wire connections to avoid these issues.
I wonder how many cars are in junk yards because of this simple problem?
an once of prevention...
like this
They were also bad... Caused by the intermittent ground. If special note: the voltage regulator is inside the alternator that was allowing the alternator to put out 14.4 to 14.7 volts. The circle of life in electrical form.
Not to mention the water pump was leaking from the weep hole... And by "leaking" I mean gushing.
Also, let me add a "fuck you" to the chevy engineer who thought the voltage regulator inside the alternator was a good idea.

@Otto Pureblood That's true. I usually opt for third party alternators myself, I usually use Leece-Neville's. There was a time when I had a setup where I had two alternators running with dual pulleys.
The original alternator would charge up the battery up front and the second one would charge up the batteries in the back, that run the other electronics such as inverters and such. I'm sort of a mad scientist or at least I once was. I'm not a scientist any longer but I may still be mad.

My OP observed that Jolani tried to please Israel and was bombed regardless.
You can ⋅infer⋅ whatever the hell you want from that, but the words on the page if anything were a comment on what everyone ELSE should do, namely, not bother trying to befriend Israel, not a comment on what Israel should do.
If you want a comment on what Israel should do:
Get the fuck off its neighbour's territories, stop bombing everyone, stop mass murdering people, extradite your own mass murderers to The Hague, disavow ethno-supremacism, pay reparations, etc.

Now you’re just embarrassing yourself.
I think it's fair to say this conversation has run its course.
It's clear now why you can't see the parallel universe: you're inside it. In the actual, empirical reality experience by everyone else, literally not one of those claims is even remotely true, as even a passing familiarity with the facts would make obvious.

I didn’t choose this hunger.
It wasn’t weakness, or a wish to die.
Hunger was forced on us — used as a weapon by the occupation.
They chose to starve us on purpose,
denying us even the most basic needs,
until our stomachs were empty and our hearts heavy with pain.
No one should have to suffer like this.
If this touched you, please don’t stay silent.

Algerian Muslim Woman Stabbed To Death By ‘Racist’ Neighbour
Rahma Ayat, a 26-year-old Algerian woman studying nursing in Hanover, Germany, was stabbed to death in her apartment building by her 31-year-old neighbour.
Rahma contacted her family in Algeria to complain about her neighbour, who was constantly harassing her, making racist remarks and mocking her Hijab.
Rahma was stabbed to death on the morning of 4th July in the stairwell of her apartment building in Arnum, Hanover.
According to police and eyewitnesses, neighbours heard her cries for help and alerted authorities. She was found with multiple stab wounds to her chest and shoulder, and died shortly after emergency services arrived.
A 31-year-old German man who lived in the same building was arrested later that day and remains in custody.
Despite repeatedly complaining to the German police about her neighbour, the complaints were "not taken seriously."
The Muslim Community and her family are calling for her killing to be recognised as a racially motivated hate crime, following reports that she had been repeatedly harassed for wearing the #Hijab.
