Wow, that number is actually insane. I saw a breakdown last month showing newer models are even worse because they train on way more data. Some companies are trying to use outside air cooling or build data centers in colder places, but it's still a massive hidden cost. Makes you question if all these AI features are really worth draining reservoirs for.

My buddy had a similar scare last year with his outdoor lights. He kept blowing fuses and couldn't figure out why, until an electrician friend traced it back to a reversed line and load at the first switch. He spent a whole weekend redoing every three-way in his place, muttering about old DIY books. Makes you wonder how many houses have little hidden mistakes like that, right?

Yeah, that outgassing thing is a real problem.

What color was that wall AFTER it peeled?

Heard a podcast where a club said those cards saved them from dissolving. They used them as a starting point, not a script. It kept the peace without killing the good arguments.
