It's amazing how stupid they think we are. "Actually, you don't see your energy and water bill going up from that shiny new data center you didn't consent to. It was a Chinese plot this whole time!" It fools no one but podcasters.

I don't buy the story that anti data center sentiment is all the results of Chinese plots. It stinks of backpedaling and marketing by US tech companies after all the braggadocio about how AI is so amazing its going to take your job, impoverish you and become Skynet.

I hate when apps and services tell me my password is wrong, not because it is wrong, but because they got breached and they need me to reset it without admitting that they got breached. That seems to be the standard at the moment. And I notice it because I use a password manager. No, my password is not incorrect. You got breached.

I see more colored hair on old people today than I do on young people.

I owe this video to a buddy of mine who had the creativity to play the music as he took the video of me finishing a climb. This video was taken in Warsaw, Missouri during that same day. The trip was bookended by long hikes there and back through the wilderness as there isn't an official trail to these walls, I don't think. You can find these routes on the Mountain Project app.

A very fun rock climbing adventure down in Warsaw, Missouri. These rock climbing expeditions are beginning to consume my weekends.
