Of course WIRED has an article Bitcoin uses 112.31 TWh annually AI servers could use between 85 to 134 Twh annually by 2027 in a middle-ground scenario Other resources, like water, also are impacted in both scenarios

almost all NYT recipes are posted elsewhere if you're willing to search. The associated Cooking commentary may not be present, though, so some story details and comments you'd enjoy reading won't be there

If only there was a way to tell people there should be a brief pause between Ruth's and Chris to make it sound better "Ruth's<take a breath>Chris" isn't exactly legible

We often hear "Ruth Chris", not "Ruth's Chris", which sounds better and easier to say But at least there's a reason for the possessive S. Due to circumstances, the chain founder Ruth couldn't use the "Chris Steak House" name by itself - so she claimed it as her own by adding "Ruth's"

Read that as "bikini'ing" instead of "biking". Sentence still made grammatical sense.

YouTube streams Coachella live. Hulu streams Lolla, Bonnaroo, and ACLFest (all 💯 coverage) All things that SHOULD be in MTV's wheelhouse - but for whatever reason, Paramount/Viacom chose not to leverage their music brand equity (and associated streaming platform) to cover major live music festivals

VH1 was great - fill a video void w/older stuff while the main channel shifts focus to culture and new music promotion MTV2 was a reasonable expansion also Now? PBS airs P!NK and Rolling Stones concerts (check local listings). AXS has their own concert series too. Stuff that SHOULD be on MTV 🎵📺

The early seasons of The Real World were pretty good (NY1, Seattle, Boston, NY2, Miami, Vegas1, SF all have defining moments for the genre) The game show Remote Control introduced an audience to Adam Sandler and Colin Quinn And 40 seasons of The Challenge (plus iterations) counts for something ...

But once you get into the core of the plotline (family relationships/alliances, line of succession, political maneuvering, and unnecessary escalations...), the overall story is kinda interesting Plus has the GoT benefit of knowing a bit of how all these castle strongholds are related

Depends on why you weren't impressed. S1 had a lot of ground to cover and did the best they could in the allotted time In terms of getting closer to what GoT fans enjoyed, S2E3 (and what previews for S2E4 suggest) start to deliver

No, you can buy ST as a standalone subscription now. It's an improvement over the DTV model

Still pricey, but for fans of teams that are rarely on national broadcasts or chosen to air by local markets, it's often the best (legal, technologically safest) choice

Some of S2's more interesting plot points is based on that book to the point where WillG (the author) is now a producer on S3 Try watching S3E1. It's a departure from the usual yelling. (S3E2 is back to the usual)
