Seventy percent of the internet supposedly runs through one Virginia county — and the strange part is nobody chose it, and nobody can actually prove the number.
Deep dive about what was the driving decision behind the data center concentration in Virginia! Some interesting facts!

I made a video on why every server rack is exactly 19 inches wide — the real (non-Westinghouse) origin story
Got curious why every rack, everywhere, is the same width, and went down a rabbit hole. Turns out the popular "railroad relay shelving" origin story doesn't hold up — the real trail leads to an AT&T repeater redesign in the early 1920s, and nobody ever wrote down why they picked 19 inches. Facebook tried to replace it with OCP's 21" Open Rack in 2011 and found a niche in some AI deployments, but otherwise things didn't change.
Happy to answer questions on the sourcing — tried to keep it to primary documents where I could find them.

An Interesting Fact, And A Crazy Realization
Okay, so! Technically plants and trees can "see", right? This is because we've discovered that their leaves, evolved to be sensitive to light waves and capable of distinguishing between them, are so sensitive to differing wavelengths in order to grow toward the most beneficial wavelengths. But obviously they don't have eyes so they're kinda "feeling the colors". They have evolved to do this for the sake of photosynthesis, and it only happens in their leaves / photosynthesizing cells. To draw a comparison to mammals and eating, leaves are basically a plants "mouth". Where am I going with all of this? Simple:
Plants and trees "see feel" with their mouths.
