  • It almost seems inevitable when you look at the merging of the conservatives and the reform party.

    By bringing them together they created this party that wanted to be more right than it was as a whole.

    Then with what’s also going on in the US they keep pushing more and more right, more and more crazy.

    That then opens a gap for the more centrist party the liberals to come in and fill that void while still championing some center and left things.

    And it just goes on and on further fueled by what’s happening in the south.

    Then you get MPs crossing the floor like what happened a few weeks ago, and that further brings them to the center right, or just outright right.














  • Australia isn’t the greatest spot to run a data centre in general in terms of heat, but I do understand the need for sovereign data centres, so this obviously can’t work everywhere.

    What makes you think $3.5 million can’t be profitable? A mid sized hospitals heating bill can get into the many hundreds of thousands or into the millions even. Especially if it’s in a colder environment. A 5-6 year payback on that wouldn’t be terrible and would be worth an upfront investment. Even a 10 year payback isn’t terrible.

    These colder locations are the ideal locations for the data centres in the first place because they generally want a cooler climate to begin with, so they will gravitate to them when possible.

    Edit: And if you build a data centre with this ability to recoup heat, you could start building further commercial things in the area and keep the heat redistribution very close. You don’t need to travel very long distances. You do need to put some thought into where they go through and whats around or will be built around.
