Einstein's elevator explains why acceleration can mimic gravity. It doesn't, by itself, explain why a stationary cube would emerge with a large sideways velocity. That conclusion depends on additional assumptions about how moving portals transfer momentum.

It would be A because it's the orange portal that's moving, not the cube.

The only way it would be B is if the portals suck since the cube doesn't have any momentum to begin with. The game clearly shows that this is not how portals work.

It would probably be A because of Newton's first law of motion.

Hot take:

The Galactic Empire is portrayed as bad mainly due to it's execution of power. The Empire's ideals of order and stability don't actually seem so bad in theory. Even the Mandolorian spin-off show supports this perspective.

Online multiplayer games used to be fub but they have really gone downhill recently.

The most fun I have ever had in a video game was hunting a bear in RDR2 to make clothing with the pelt. It took several days but I think that's what made finding the bear so satisfying.

There is currently no public breakdown of U.S. data center water consumption by AI vs non-AI workloads. However, AI appears to account for a minority of total data center compute and electricity demand today, suggesting its share of water consumption is also likely to be a minority, though the exact proportion is unknown.

However I can give some examples of cloud services:

AWS / Amazon data centers used roughly 2.5 billion gallons globally in 2025

Google data centers used roughly 7.7 billion gallons globally in 2024

https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/data-center-water-use-black-box-google-trying-to-change

All U.S. data centers: about 17.4 billion gallons per year direct water consumption in 2023, projected to reach 38–73 billion gallons per year by 2028. That includes cloud, AI, enterprise, colocation, storage, etc.

Correct. The U.S. doesn't top the list per capita, but you're shifting the goalposts and you know it.

Cry harder. The U.S. has more immigrants crossing their border with the intention to stay permanently per year than any other country in the world.

Exactly. Their employer doesn't pay them a living wage, and refusing to tip sure as hell won't fix that. Their employer couldn't give less of a fuck.

Your mad at the system but taking it out on a server who didn't do anything to deserve it?

Judging by your reply, it seems like you understand this but don't care. That just makes you arrogant.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck. It does.

You wouldn't walk into someone else's house and start ignoring their rules and boundaries.

When you're in someone else's home, show them respect, otherwise don't go there.

Didn't your parents ever teach you manners? I guess not.
