Nah, people hate nuance, it's now the age of false dichotomy. Where you either offer my position unconditional non-critical support, or you are offering my opponents unconditional non-critical support.

I said something similar about nuclear power a while ago and got a similar response.

And art should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. There's a reason that piracy almost died out completely and then came back with a vengeance. People don't mind paying a reasonable price for art, the prices and accessibility of art has just become unfeasible.

I'm guessing people with body dysmorphia are more prone to ignore/indulge other people's body dysmorphia?

ALL cops you say?

While acab is probably too generalized a term to apply to ALL police forces in the world..... Interpreting acab in absolutes is also kinda silly and needlessly pedantic.

If I were to say all Nazi are bastards...... Would we be making the same arguments? Surely there were Nazi that were forced to join the party, surely there were Nazi giving years of their lives to serving their communities, risking their lives and health.

The point of ACAB is to highlight the inherent and institutional failures of policing actions native to the vast majority of western democracies. Where police are primarily utilized to protect property and institutional power, rather than protecting the most disadvantaged communities in our society.

Modern heat pump systems are reversible, so you would be drawing the heat energy from the room and releasing it outside. During this exchange air is run over a compressed coolant which cools the air and reintroduces it back to the room.

Ahh, that's what I was hoping for! I was afraid it might be an open system, making the additional heat exchange from the servers mainly a vanity/pr project.... My expectations for sensible utility companies have been damaged by living in America.

But yeah, depending on how much heat has been dissipated by the end of its loop, utilizing the heat from the servers right before it gets to chp would significantly reduce the amount of energy needed to get the temp up to 170f.

I wish we could do something similar, but I guess it would be stealing someone's freedom or something?

Generating heat in the thing you're trying to cool won't help save any money no matter the technology.

I should have been more specific, the savings would be from compartmentalizing the hot room from the rest of the HVAC system.

If you partition the lab from the rest of the hvac system and install a heat pump for the lab, it would drastically reduce the amount of heated air the HVAC system has to cool and move around the rest of the home.

Instead of the HVAC system cooling already warm air made from the servers, you would partition the lab from the rest of the house and HVAC system, and then install a heat pump for just the room.

The heat exchange would take care of the lab, and the HVAC system would have to circulate less hot air through the system.

I think the Nordics is probably the only place capable of utilizing this system in the first place. It looks like they have a utility system that already centralizes heating for their communities. They basically have a hot water line that circulates through radiators located in all the buildings in the community. Facebook was able to hook their heat exchange to this system, so they didn't have to build any real infrastructure.

I'm not really sure how efficient this solution is, it really depends if their centralized system is a closed or open system. The water Facebook is pumping out is only 80 degrees, and has to be heated up to 170 by the utility company for service.

The problem is that while these servers produce a large volume of heated air, the intensity of that heat is very low, making it hard to exploit or preserve for transfer.

If you live in an environment that gets hot in the summer time you may think about getting a heat pump for your home. That much heat energy being generated in the summer would be great for your energy bill. Instead of battling the heat generated by your lab with AC it would actually be used to create a more efficient heat energy exchange for the pump.

all the emissions associated with mining, refining and transporting the fuel

Not trying to be pedantic..... But, EVs have the same essential issue, their batteries require the same mining, refining, and transportation process as any other powered vehicle. And if your electricity isn't sourced from renewables, you're just kicking the problem down the road.

It's the trolley problem. Picking up a kid in time to beat a speeding train would just snap his little neck. Stopping a speeding train to save the little boy would most likely kill anyone on board.

This scenario indicates superman would rather kill a train full of people, rather than having witnesses see him sit idle as a child removes himself from the gene pool.

My hypothesis is that this is the child of Lex Luther, or possibly a clone. He's literally playing on train train tracks, baiting super man into a win-less scenario via the trolley problem. It's the perfect scheme to slowly make him question the consequences of all his actions and eventually his entire purpose.
