the reason they're all here is in the 80s the feds laid infinite fibre from here up/down the East coast and into DC
it's not all AI, this is also AWS and Azure and Walmart, etc.
it's where all the East Coast centers are
this is Ashburn Virginia
they take 18-24 months to build
the light red are existing data centers, the dark red are in-construction
this is where I live
so our little neighborhood is praying they come to take ours
they're paying $4M/acre
not the government, data centers
the streamer house may go poof very soon
I'm also genuinely curious if they are just going to take and develop our land
though I'm sure it makes Polu scream internally as he has to update their billing system
which tbh I'm also fine with if they just do that forever

yeah, that makes more sense then
I feel like with an audiobook, I'd want to actually follow along, rather than tuning in/out like I would with a podcast/radio/youtube
if you're going to listen to filler, you can find a podcast or youtube slop to put on
agree, I've never understood how people drive to audiobooks

I've never liked audio books personally. I will absolutely forget anything someone tells me immediately.
but yeah, unless I want to own a book to put on a shelf, I pirate 100% of books I read
