Is it possible he misspoke, and meant to say "Remembered by fondlers"?

Its doable, but only if the Japanese get up early. Japan is 13 hours ahead of ET during the summer, and 16 hours ahead of PT. A Japan game at 0900 is 2000 ET/ 1700 PT. But go much later than 1100 Japan Time, and it's too late for the East Coast.

Night games in Japan (like 2100) would be 0800 on the East Coast but way too early for the West Coast.

I was in Japan recently in October, and it was wild that the prime-time MLB playoff games were all morning games there.

For the same reason why they let so much water evaporate. They could convert some of that heat back into electricity, just like they could run closed-loop cooking systems, but it would cost more money than it would save. There's no financial incentive to do so....

.... Until regulators start insisting! These datacenter folks have gobs of money, we shouldn't be shy about requiring them to not ruin the local environment.

It would be best to do it on a national level, otherwise these folks will just shift the development to someplace without the regulations.

Why are people acting surprised? This is exactly what DOGE intended to do.

How many AI datacenters will it take to boil the ocean?

I guess some Amazon sellers sometimes send out free stuff randomly with the intent to use the shipment to generate a fake review, or to lower their ratio of returned items. They call it "brushing".

Seems a bit silly to me: if someone is in a position to post fake Amazon reviews in your name, shouldn't they be able to do a lot more damage? But, I suppose you would report a fraudulent order right away, but might not even notice a fraudulent review

According to this, trains that started their run before the strike started would still go to their final destination. (The article even lists the affected trains.) It would be interesting to know whether those folks got paid for that shift, or whether paychecks stopped at 12:01

 

A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, as “mister.”

Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride as “the congressman from Delaware” during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. McBride responded by calling Self “Madam Chair.”

My Bills are on Sunday. That Steelers/Ravens game on Saturday will be a good one.

 

That's a lot of money

 

On Monday, the mayor marched down Fifth Avenue during the annual Columbus Day Parade wearing a baseball cap supporting BOTH the Yankees and Mets! The hat featured a Mets logo on one side, an "X" in between and a Yankees logo on the other side. ... "No wonder Eric Adams got indicted, that hat is a crime against humanity," one user wrote in a post on X, formally Twitter.

The announcers were very excited about it while it happened

 

Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.

 

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

 

Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.
