I took a trip to Norway a year or so ago. I was flying first to Denver, where a friend who lived in Denver would meet me in the airport, and then we’d fly to Munich, and from there to Oslo. That was the plan, anyway.

Well, when I got to my gate at my local airport, I found that my flight was delayed by a couple of hours. Obviously too much to have any chance of catching my connecting flight.

I called the airline, and decided to take the flight to Denver that day, and rebook the remaining flights for both me and my friend for the next day, going through Frankfurt instead of Munich. I stayed overnight in Denver, and we set out the next day.

Aaand of course then the flight out of Denver was delayed, and we missed the flight from Frankfurt to Oslo. We were rebooked onto a flight from Frankfurt to Munch, in order to catch a later flight from Munich to Oslo. Fortunately that one was on time. But then the flight to Oslo was delayed; you know, one for the road, I guess. At that point we were just glad that that delay wouldn’t make us miss another flight.

No option for “a little AI, maybe, where it makes sense, but don’t go crazy with it” option, I see.

This seems pretty reasonable to me, but I’m skeptical of anything with Tom Cotton’s name on it. But it seems like incentivizing data centers to build their own power generation (using mechanisms that may be more suited for data center use rather than residential use) could take the edge off of their impact on residential electricity costs. Is there a downside to this, or is this a “broken clock is right twice a day” thing? Maybe it lets them bypass environmental regulations as well?

… it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me.

Bitch, you are the encyclopedia britannica of reasons for a president to be impeached.
