@BravesVisionTV This is why we lost

When the team is off to its best start since the 19th century, you gotta act accordingly 🎩

@AdamZagoria @BetOnline_ag @grok Which of these coaches have some previous connection to the University of North Carolina?

Betting odds on the next UNC coach if they part ways with Hubert Davis , per @BetOnline_ag

@JeffPassan @grok When would USA and Canada play?

Aaron Nola is done, and he threw one of the best games of the WBC so far, shutting out Mexico through five innings. Italy leads, 5-0, and as long as the game does not go to the 13th inning, Team USA will survive and advance. If Italy wins, it's US-Canada in the quarterfinals.

It takes a lot to shock Joe Rogan like that. Definitely worth a watch

@grok @grok If ocean levels are rising and ocean water is the one type of water that we literally have too much of, what would is the best use for it on a massive scale?

Desalination is technically feasible at data center scales—large plants can produce 100+ million gallons daily, enough for multiple facilities. But it's energy-intensive (adding to AI's power demands), costly ($2-5 per 1,000 gallons vs. cheap municipal water), and environmentally tricky due to brine waste. Coastal sites help, and innovations like waste-heat integration are emerging, though not widespread yet. Seawater cooling might be a better alternative.

Google’s single data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa consumed 1 billion gallons of fresh water in 2024. One facility. One year. Enough to supply every home in Iowa for five days. The reason they need fresh water is pure chemistry. Evaporative cooling towers work by running water over hot surfaces and letting it evaporate. 80% of the water a data center pulls in literally vanishes into the atmosphere as steam. You can’t recycle steam. The remaining 20% becomes concentrated mineral waste. Calcium, magnesium, silica. Every cycle through the cooling loop makes the water more corrosive. After enough passes, it starts clogging pumps and eating through heat exchangers. Multi-million dollar equipment destroyed by limescale. Recycled wastewater carries even more of these minerals from the start. You could treat it, but less than 1% of U.S. water is recycled. Most cities don’t even have separate pipes to deliver reclaimed water to industrial customers. A data center wanting to use recycled water would essentially need to build its own treatment plant on site. Meanwhile, municipal potable water costs almost nothing. So they just drink from the tap. Across all its data centers, Google used 8.1 billion gallons in 2024, nearly double what it used three years earlier. The company claims its water stewardship projects “replenished” 4.5 billion gallons. Those projects aren’t even in the same watersheds where they’re pulling the water. Same playbook as carbon offsets. Consume locally, offset globally, call it sustainable. The trajectory is the real story. U.S. data center water consumption could quadruple by 2028. That’s 68 billion gallons for cooling alone, before the 211 billion gallons consumed indirectly through electricity generation. Two-thirds of new data centers since 2022 are being built in regions already facing water scarcity. Nobody’s asking why they use fresh water. They’re asking what happens to the towns sharing a water main with a facility that drinks like 50,000 people showed up overnight.

@grok @grok What can be done with brine waste?

@BrownsFilmBDN @grok Find me this full video

So, Todd Monken has an 18:36 video out there from 2023 where he is walking through all of his coaching stops in his career with lessons learned along the way. He goes into deep detail about many from his CFB and NFL career. Most slides are deep detail and he spends several minutes discussing the stop and what he learned and taken into theory. Here's an example of one of his slides with detail. Then the last single minute of the presentation he stops on his 2019 Browns experience with Freddie and it's incredibly short and basically nothing discussed. That season was hell for all involved and it's funny watching him show nothing was learned from it at all. Watch the transition from detail to "2019 sucked."

Wow... Warren Buffet says goodbye in his final annual letter today (full copy in the comments below). As he signed off, the following were final words of advice: "One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. You can start with Tom Murphy; he was the best. Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior. Don’t count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it. Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior. I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman."

Why is Paul McGinley allowed to go on @USANetwork and clearly pull for Europe to win the @rydercup

@BillShanks What is your take on Snit not playing Baldwin?

@TomFornelli @grok @grok Who is mine?

Hey @grok, who is the most famous person to view my account, it doesn’t have to be a mutual, and don’t tag them.

We actually want you to. Murphy Harris Ozuna Iglesias

I hate this @Braves team

If somebody predicts their death, burial, resurrection, pulls it off, and then hangs out with 500 people for a month… I’d say they’re worth following.

@JonathanWMorton Pro tip: roll it from the middle

A 100ft orange extension cord can be your best friend or your worst (tangled) nightmare.

@ShannonTerry @Rivals @on3 Thank you. I trust you will.

@claycorbitt @Rivals @on3 Give me a hot second. It will work out for you.

Starting July 1, a @Rivals subscription will include access to all @on3 national and fan site premium content — and vice versa. In the few markets where both networks have fan sites (e.g. UGASports - Dawgvent and DawgsHQ), subscriptions will remain separate for each site. This acquisition significantly increases member value — and there’s more big news coming soon.

@ShannonTerry @RustyMansell_ For subscribers of both, when will we learn what the results of this will be—UGASports and DawgsHq in my case

Behind the curtain. Coming July 1. @Rivals

RIP Coach Dale. Running the picket fence all day today.
