Why do data centers need so much water? Cooling water can be recycled.
>>
>>109059891

all water is recyclable, unless you launch it into space or drop it into an event horizon. the problem is that it takes a LOT of time, money, power, and infrastructure to make dirty water drinkable. we are already experiencing droughts caused by climate change because faggots thought we could rely on snowmelt forever to supply cities populated by millions, and no one built desalination plants because resource security is "expensive" and people are afraid of nuclear power because of a soviet shithole from half a century ago.

AI is absolutely pointless outside of data analysis for scientific purposes. we really only ever need one data center.
>>
>>109059891
its not even about recycling, all this heat and energy goes somewhere it just doesnt disappear, also this >>109059926
and to keep the argument desalination plants are also literal cancer, all the concentrated residual salt is sent back to the ocean with more chemicals, the concentrations of salt where all the shit is dumped is so high that it kills all fish around the area, nothing is free basically, all of this recycling and circular economie is the biggest psyop anyone can believe, at the someone has to lose, the environment, you or some other poor bastard

Just mix it with more sea water.

>>109059976
If only we could use the salt for something.

it is just a talking point trotted out to generically oppose things, in 99% of cases it literally does not matter
if it *does* matter, like in that one dubious story of the town that blamed a nearby data center for decreased water pressure, that means there is an issue with regulations or environmental surveying that permitted these data centers to purchase and use too much water in the first place. industrial installations of any sort are permitted and regulated, they don't just run a hose into a nearby lake and suck it dry like a villain in a children's storybook.

I like beef.

This. For me it's
Beef > Goose > Pork > Duck > Chicken > Turkey

lamb gyros are delicious. sheep are hardy animals that can eat shrubs and live on hilly land.
>>
>>109060216

you're thinking of goats.Usually you put sheeps in green pastures where they can eat a lot of grass.
>>
>>109060001

misleading graphics generalising a lot.

corn =/= wheat
cow for milk =/= cow for meat
tomatoes =/= beans
apples =/= blackberry

my boss and me would litterally made fun of people coming to the farm litterally straight telling them they're useless ,new one each year lol you should have seen their faces when you're like "ah the useless is here" them being like "huh you have to give me respect" "yeah yeah do your things and leave after there's people working here".

useless people who couldn't even interact with a cow without scaring them.

my boss didn't care btw we live in a region with a lot of water and he had it's own source ,never had any problem when it comes to water even with heat-wave.

Plant more trees, save the bees, shoot refugees

>Why do data centers need so much water?
A much more intelligent question would be: Why do we need so much data centers?
>>
>>109060859
that is not an intelligent question. that is an ESL question.

>Cooling water can be recycled.
Why do you constantly lie about this? No, cooling water evaporates, it disperses, condensation does not return the same amount of water you put in. Why is your troll agency managed by complete fuckups?

Ah, yes. The retarded glavset hooker is barking its script for mongoloids.

Ranjeet here has a point, though.

Sodium batteries are going to make all that brackish water into liquid gold.

>>109060971
Probably to coddle to psychopaths having a nervous breakdown over john doe collecting rainwater without being spied on 24/7 and buying moonshine from his friend joe blow.
Also goyim seem to have some kind of exhibitionism fetish (they sure love putting cameras everywhere).

>all this heat and energy goes somewhere it just doesnt disappear
thats right, it goes into space
the earth isn't a closed system you know
>>
>>109060013
Start home.
Do you have a garden? If not, why?
I bet you still use a dryer instead of hanging clothes...
>>
how do you cool the cooling water
>>
>>109063759
Can't you pass it through heatsinks and radiators?
Maybe not the most efficient way, but probably not as wasteful as letting it simply evaporate.
