@Jason_A_Scharf @grok At a @SXSW session, the @OpenAI folks said they need about 2 Olympic pools of water when the data center opens, and the cooling is a closed system after that. Note the report this is based on uses both “direct” and “indirect” water usage in this number…
English
The big line: "In Texas, data centers used 25 billion gallons of water in 2025, a number projected to balloon up to 161 billion gallons by 2030."
I asked @grok how much water Texas farms used? 2.5T gallons a year.
We need food & innovation. Can we stop demonizing data centers?

@texasrunnerDFW I will die on this hill…the “mini-exodus” in 23/24 was for one reason…weather
2021: COVID sucks, Cali’s expensive, let’s move to Austin
2022: 2nd hottest summer. 67 days above 100
2023: the “new” 2nd hottest summer. 41 days in a row over 100
2024: Buh-bye
Same for DFW I bet

I am astounded by the number of millennial families who moved to Dallas, bought a home, then turned around and sold the home to move out of Dallas, in less than a 5 year time span
Is Dallas just super transient or is this a post-pandemic phenomenon happening everywhere?

@BrilliantMaps Leaving Bexar County out (San Antonio) is correct. Putting Travis County (Austin) in is wrong….

@thealepalombo Loved it!! I'm sure you locals think the Flores Bar is for tourists, but the view is something else....

I am in Porto these days, and it’s one of those rare places where the food is as good as in Rome.
Have you ever been to Porto?

Research help! Trying to find info on the old Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio - specifically how Goodyear Atomic obtained fluorspar for their uranium enrichment and their relationship with Goodrich chemical plant in Henry, IL. This is a hail Mary, but anyone?

@jaybsauceda If you’ve never bought tamales out of someone’s car in a parking lot, you’re not a real Texan…

What's the most random place you've purchased tamales from?

United today is starting to remind me of OG Amazon. This is what happens when you build a strong culture.

United Airlines pilot buys 30 pizzas for stranded passengers after 7-hour delay. A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Houston was forced to make an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after a passenger suffered a medical emergency. The unexpected diversion left about 150 passengers tired, hungry, and stuck at the gate for seven hours while the airline arranged a new crew. Airport restaurants had already closed for the night, and the $15 food vouchers offered by the airline were useless. Instead of just apologizing, the captain took matters into his own hands. Using his personal money, he ordered 30 large pizzas from a local shop and had them delivered straight to the gate. He then personally served every passenger before taking a slice for himself. The heartfelt gesture turned frustration into gratitude and quickly went viral as a true story of kindness in the skies.

Absolutely not but people want to feel good, they don’t care about the logical solution.

Does it still make sense for Austin to spend $2B on a light rail system when a fleet of Cybercabs can move more people, with greater efficiency, at a fraction of the cost?

@AriWasserman If his Dad came to my front door right now and said he really needed me to run a marathon before midnight, after about 5 minutes I’m confident he’d convince me to do it….

The Dallas Cowboys landing Caleb Downs outside of the Top 10 is going to be the steal of the evening. Unbelievable.
