@heyshrutimishra I wonder if their cooling savings offset the costs of materials needed and the decreased lifespan of the system that will inevitably lose the battle against corrosion and sediment

China deployed a 1,300-ton data center on the ocean floor off the coast of Hainan. No cooling towers or air conditioning. Just cold seawater doing the job for free. The result? Cooling costs drop from ~50% of total energy to under 10%.

@YouthHockeyHub This letter appears a bit more specific, so maybe an angry parent, but gives off similar troll vibes.

@YouthHockeyHub Turns out it was a whacko who sends similar letters to nearly all area programs in any sport that has a website. It complained about record, said x is the best player, and that they represented a group of angry parents.

@capexbt Paying impossible promised returns with investor money Zero revenue Underwater on assets I’m pretty sure lots of humans have accomplished this.

Michael Saylor is doing something no human has ever done before. – bought 45,000 BTC in 30 days while everyone panicked – created a financial instrument paying 11.5% APY backed by Bitcoin – $6 trillion sits in money markets earning 3-4%. His product pays triple – only 450 BTC are mined per day. He’s buying 4-5x the daily supply – holds 720,000+ BTC. That’s 3.4% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist and 76% of all corporate Bitcoin – his average cost is $76K. Bitcoin is at $67K. He’s still buying Most people panic when they’re underwater. This man raised $1.2 billion in a single week to buy more. History will call him either the greatest financial mind of our generation or the biggest gambler. There’s no in between.

@remick16 @Gausmus47 @J_Swish24 @ZachHalverson @YouthHockeyHub @DStarmanHockey @usahockey @MinnHockey 😂 I’ve seen similar. Kid knows a call is coming so he runs around rest of shift really making sure he earned it. Kids would call this a D1 crash out.

Anyone ever see 3 minor penalties and a 10 min misconduct called on the same sequence? Never seen a 13 year old kid snap like this. Volume up dad in stand “it’s hockey not tennis” 🫣😵‍💫 Not a good look

@jarvis_best youtu.be/5hTMYk7orHw?si… Great song, performed to near perfection, delivered a message with layered symbolism about destroying the ruling class with all the ruling class watching. What more could you want?

@jarvis_best Gojira absolutely crushed a song glorifying the French Revolution from the place they chopped the head off all the elites of the time, but because there was fire and red streamers everyone thought it was some devil stuff.

I'm always hoping for a classy Olympics opening ceremony and it's never that, it's always some weird Illuminati thing and Hoda tries to make it seem normal like "And now Klaus Schwab is going to sacrifice that goat to appease the deity" and Al Roker is like "wow that's great."

@B_Marsh92 Nah, don’t matter if he stays. I’ve hated most of what Billy G has done, but this one’s a win. Landed a true superstar. Didn’t give up anything that will ever be close to what Hughes is.

This is the big question. If he doesn’t extend and the Wild don’t get a cup, this trade looks horrible. If he stays, it’s arguably the best trade in franchise history. #mnwild

@Jeff_sixKings @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL I agree Leipold more worried about business than a cup. That’s why Wild have never rebuilt. But in this case, signing Kaprizov is a business decision. Remember the panic and slumping attendance before 97 showed up?

I don't believe Leipold has any interest in setting a record for the most money ever paid to a player. He's not thinking about building a winning team, it's all about his money. His interest is restricted, solely, to profit. How good do we have to be to put butts in seats? Which is also to say, how bad can we be and still put butts in the seat?

Wild owner dodges Kirill Kaprizov contract questions: ‘Nothing to gain. Everything to lose’ Showing how delicate things are in the Kaprizov contract extension standstill, Craig Leipold was uncharacteristically mum on 97 By ⁦@JoeSmithNHL⁩ and me nytimes.com/athletic/66639…

@RussoHockey So if Wild win, is that the team we roll with this season?

😬

@purple_pai76704 @JoeSmithNHL @RussoHockey On that podcast? I heard him say the leak didn’t come from himself or Kaprizovs agent. I didn’t hear him say it wasn’t true.

@JoeSmithNHL @RussoHockey Billy said no offer has been made and he is pissed off about the Fake News. He said you could go ask Karills representatives and they would say the same thing. Dude do some research before posting. Pure Fiction Bill Guerin said.

The #mnwild are at a crossroads with Kirill Kaprizov after the superstar turned down record offer Bill Guerin tells us, however, 'we're not panicking' and talks continue. 'We love Kirill' On what it all means + what comes next From @RussoHockey and me nytimes.com/athletic/66177…

@jimmathesonnhl 8 years is the rest of his career. If he wants to cup chase or play with buddies or a destination market someday, it’s probably the term he’s rejecting, not the 16M per.

I get it that the salary cap is going up a lot but if Kaprizov is turning down a $7m a year pay hike from $9m to $16m, he is a tad greedy. He is a winger not a C but if we are talking wingers he isn’t in Kucherov’s league as winner or scoring champion and he is making $10m

@marissavoss @10k_Takes lol, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t say it’s wrong, kind of whined that it got leaked, and kept up the charade that everything is great. That can’t be true, or it would have been done deal already.

@HPBAac Mine prefers it. Hockey practice 5am, gets blood flowing. Cold shower and big breakfast after. Gets to school fully awake and well fed. Has evenings free. Yeah, he does need an early bed time, but works out great. 4.0 student because he’s on the ball and ready for school.

Maybe an unpopular take but…stop making teenagers wake up at 5am to go lift/workout before school. Unless they’re asleep by 9pm, I promise you that them getting 8 hours of sleep will be more beneficial for them than some 45 minute workout before school.

@HockeyThinkTank The good is we have ice and options. We aren’t monopolized by for-profit clubs. Hockey in MN is as expensive as you want to make it. The for-profit stuff is alluring because they lean hard into the “elite” pitch. But can get ample ice time for minimal cost by staying local.

@HockeyThinkTank Tier 1 in fall is 8 weeks all near the cities. That would run us about $15K. Our district (blue ox) did win national championship last year, so would be neat to be a part of, but tough to justify when we can pick up a weekend tourney in Fargo for $500 or Winnipeg for $750.

Last week I had a post comparing Minnesota and Michigan. I had a bunch of people reach out asking for the same exercise for Minnesota and Massachusetts. Here are the numbers: USA Hockey Youth Registration in 2007-2008: Minnesota: 45,168 Massachusetts: 40,017 Difference: 5,151 more players registered in MN over MA USA Hockey Youth Registration in 2024-2025: Minnesota: 50,597 Massachusetts: 40,120 Difference: 10,477 more players in MN registered over MA USA Hockey Youth Registration from 2008-2025: Minnesota: +5429 players Massachusetts: -103 players Difference: In 15 years, MN is +5,532 players registered over MA 2007-2008 Players in D1 College Hockey Minnesota: 211 Massachusetts: 122 Difference: 89 more D1 players from MN over MA 2024-2025 Players in D1 College Hockey Minnesota: 249 Massachusetts: 117 Difference: 132 more D1 players from MN over MA Players in D1 College Hockey from 2008-2025 Minnesota: +38 Massachusetts: -5 Difference: In 15 years, MN is +43 players in D1 hockey over MA 2008 NHL Draft Picks Minnesota: 11 Massachusetts: 4 Difference: 7 more players drafted from MN over MA 2025 NHL Draft Picks Minnesota: 17 Massachusetts: 2 Difference: 15 more players drafted from MN over MI. NHL Draft Picks from 2008-2025 Minnesota: +6 Massachusetts: -2 Difference: In 15 years, MN is +8 in NHL draft picks over MA *This isn't a great sample size and draft numbers fluctuate a lot, but still these numbers are telling. The numbers speak for themselves.
