Honest question: wouldn't it be advantageous to build data centers in cooler areas next to large body's of water, like the upper Midwest? I'm sure there are metrics I'm ignorant of, but that would seem to make more sense than building in a hot/dry place.
This is me. I have three unfinished scifi/horror manuscripts that will probably remain so because I took so long to write them that the future I created would be a boring dystopia if it got published today.
Post apocalyptic stuff still sells, though, or stuff that is so esoteric and far in the future that it'll be timeless for another 20-50 years.
I worked at a grocery store during lockdown and Celtic Sea salt trended on tick tock. We couldn't keep that shit on the shelf. One or two dudes would clean us out as soon as we restocked and flip it online for a huge markup.
It's just fucking salt. You'd have to eat a pound of it to get any sort of benefit from the trace minerals.
Had TSA take me aside and X-ray my laptop for a good 20 minutes last time I flew.
To be fair, the laptop had a sticker that insinuated drug use, but it's not like I had hidden a thousand doses of Mega LSD under the SSD (which it really looked like they were scanning for).
