Of Bhuva's 2,791 patients, according to state and federal records reviewed by CBS News, fewer than 2% died in 2024.


Holy shite.

This isn't even accurate anymore with closed-loop systems.


It’s still very much accurate for existing data centers, and it’s still the case for most of the electricity generation that is needed.

When discussing the resource consumption much of it revolves around the totality of resources, not just those used at the facility.

That being said, I don’t believe the water issues are a big deal.
quote:

Water, no.


The water stuff is weird. Most of it is just evaporated back into the atmosphere.
I’m a pretty big believer in mutually assured destruction.

Hell, a strong argument can be made that the effort to stop countries from securing weapons of mass destruction and/or nuclear weapons has killed more civilians than the weapons themselves ever have.

He definitely will. Now, those answers will likely just be dismissed by calling the author some insulting name with a few emojis sprinkled in, but he will get answers nonetheless.

We are dropping an incredible amount of bombs on Iran and now they have citizens standing around the next targets. There is an absolutely real threat to those people.


I’m saying those people think they will be fine, and so do I.

quote:

When you say people would stand around the targets here, are you doing so knowing those people KNOW there is no threat because Iran isn’t capable of bombing those targets?


You could replace Iran with a country capable of bombing us here and my comment would remain the same. There are crazy people that would line the bridge in Baton Rouge believing they are perfectly safe. If you interviewed them they would say they’re willing to die and all this shite, but the truth is they think they’re perfectly safe - the same as any of these alleged Iranian citizens do too.

I’ll put it another way- do you believe the US will bomb a power plant that is surrounded by hundreds of lay people?
quote:

no way americans would sacrifice themselves for this


Neither the hypothetical Americans nor the Iranians will be sacrificed.
This is a good trend but also oddly specific time frames. I wonder if this was also the case in Nov-Dec time frame, for example.
quote:

How in the world do you figure that?

Are you calculating our ability and willingness to bomb Iran as well as Iran’s ability to actually pull off their threat?


Because people are fricking nuts. I can’t believe this is even remotely controversial. :lol:

quote:

What?


If Iran was on social media saying they were going to bomb the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge at 10pm this evening, it would be lined with people waving American flags unless the authorities stopped it.

People haven't figured out to not take Trump literally.

This can’t be a serious post.

If Trump says something you like, he’s being honest and serious and it should be taken at face value. If Trump says something outlandish, it’s just the art of the deal and should be taken with a grain of salt? That’s super convenient.
quote:

Trump could have a plan, and you would still say he doesn't because you are mentally ill. But yes, let's go with your theory. The US military doesn't plan.


That’s not what I said at all.

We have 5.5 years of evidence with him as president than many of his most ardent supporters will never, ever find any fault in what he says or does. If it’s not 4D chess, well by golly it must be 5D chess, and so on and so forth.

If Trump makes a deal tonight, you’ll say it was the plan all along. If we wipe most of Iran off the map, you’ll say that was the plan too. If neither happens you’ll say that’s the plan instead. You’re no better off or more capable of rational independent thought than the TDS liberals you so gleefully ridicule (deservingly so).
You can get over 7x your money on Kalshi if you think Rs can hold onto the House in the midterms.
quote:

We wouldn't ask people to send their kids there or to set up bases in schools. One side is evil, the other isnt.


I have little doubt that Iran is more evil than the US, but we would absolutely have people voluntarily hanging out around targets identified by Iran if the roles were reversed.
Only Trump “knows” the plan because whatever happens, he’ll say it was the plan all along and room-temperature IQs like SDV and others will slurp it up.

Good, bad, or otherwise, everything goes according to plan for Trump according to him and much of his base. He’s infallible.

Didn’t see the other thread.
We live in a two part country where just 28% of Americans have a favorable view of one of the parties while 32% have a favorable view of the other. That’s wild but also pretty well deserved.

Oh, good grief. Someone posts this nonsense 8 times a day and its addressed every time.

There is no world where the actions in 2026 can be reconciled with the claims made after the 2025 bombing campaign. None. Zero.
