  • You make some good points, and there’s also thermal issues.

    The whole reason the datacentres use so much water is cooling all those processors.

    Rejecting heat in space is super hard because you’re ultimately relying only on radiation (not enough matter for conduction/convection), no matter how many heavy/expensive/complex/maintenance-needing cooling systems you use.

    But at least if it was able to be done, the heat would be 'outside the environment ’ as it were. The idea of using earth’s seas to cool datacentres on top of everything else does not sound ideal…






  • I think if you add up your time frying stuff in a pan every meal compared to making a big pot of soup that’s like 8 or 10 portions, you’ll see the ‘break even’ point for time spent cooking happens quite soon. But I guess if the main thing you like to eat is crispy meat and you never really bother with vegetables much, then yeah, soup might not be for you, fair play.


  • What kind of meat do you like?

    I would say soup can be one of the easiest if you let it be: literally just throwing shit in a pot with some water and let it cook as long as you want. Can’t accidentally burn it very easily (unless you use lentils), don’t have to chop things a certain dose/ shape, generally tastes decent with a bit of seasoning…

    I mean I know you can go all out and make fancy soup with many stages and lots of work, but it doesn’t have to be like that… whatever 2/3 types of veg is cheap and available, some beans or lentils, stock cube + season to taste, boom.
