Remember that Stargate SG1 episode where they find themselves into a huge underground facility that is under attack by external forces. Jack O'Neill accepts to pilot one of their drones to help defend the complex from a wave of bombers and is infuriated to learn that the attacker's bombers were manned while he believed they were unmanned.

spoilerAt the end it turns out the facility was actively poisoning the entire planet, threatening to wipe out all life and the "attackers" were simply the people of the rest of the world trying to stop it.

That is what the Amazon data center is to me.

Likely dirty/corroded charger connecting points that make the charging contact intermittent.

Clean them, scrape off the layer of crust/corrosion with a jewler's screwdriver if you have to. Once they're clean and charge well again, I recommend putting a little dab of dielectric grease to protect them from corroding again.

Mine started doing that a year after I bought them and I was about to throw them away when I tried doing that and it completely fixed it.

Since he has infinite power, he could have just made it so capacity constantly increases with population.

As you said, either way, it is a flawed premise.

Thanos could have doubled the amount of space and resouces in the universe just as easily.

For both of them the design features were dictated by an idiot who had free reign over the project and didn't listen to any of the expert's input.

Usually I go there looking for something specific and use the search bar.

However, the search function in YouTube has also turned to absolute crap. It only lists a few results and then switches to random shit you didn't ask for.

A lot of the results are also often misleading titles leading to lazy videos that are a slideshow of impertinent pictures with a synthetized voice spewing inaccurate information. AI has made that even worse. The star rating system would have helped identify these crap videos before you click on them.

And the video's rating was plainly visible so you could use it to make the decision whether the video was even worth your click.

The shovelware AI slop video channels wouldn't be such a problem today if we still had that.

Aaaw, I'm not in it either.

Is there an application form I can fill somewhere?

They'll spend more just in legal fees fighting it

Trust me, in that context it's a possessive. As if the cheese could own the omelet.

The funny thing is that "Omelette du fromage" isn't even correct. It means "The cheese's omelet".

If you want to say "Cheese omelet" you should say "Omelette au fromage"
