Texas is the national epicenter of Bitcoin mining, writes @candicebernd.bsky.social with the @texasobserver.org. There are an estimated 40 crypto mines in Texas, which together consume enough electricity to power 800,000 homes. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/texas-crypto-mining-boom/

Would be a shame if something happened to those facilities...

So what kind of MN weather shenanigans will I be coming home to this this weekend and the next 2.5 weeks?

I so fucking hate Bitcoin (etc.). What a waste of energy. So, stupid.

Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies are little more than a digital front for organized crime.

80's and even possibly low 90's this weekend and first half of next week, then a cool down into the 70's with rain possible in the second half of next week. But as with most weather forecasts here, stick around. It'll change.

Everywhere I have ever been has this joke, except Hawaii.

Minny isn't even top10.

In Hawaii, you drive to the dry side if you're sick of the rain.

CEO of said marina is stepping down due to the PR backlash. Resignation letter included the classic non-apology apology and buzzwords.

"Sorry I 'offended' the libturds, lolololol. MAGA!"

You try. Having driven a lot in Boston, New York, DC, and Seattle, Honolulu has the worst traffic in the US. One E-W highway, constant bumper to bumper. Fucking enraging.

JD Vance endorsed his half brother for mayor of Cincinnatti.

He's trailing by 68 points in an open primary.

It's not who votes that counts. It's who counts the votes.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's office slams, mocks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ahead of visit

Noem is expected to talk about what she calls the failures of sanctuary city policies.

www.cbsnews.com

"Secretary Noem has often been spotted on television cosplaying law enforcement officers, so media are invited to capture her latest costume upon arrival."

"Despite numerous instances the Trump Administration has ignored the Constitution, Secretary Noem will ironically visit an office located on Constitution Drive."

"We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region," Pritzker's office wrote.
