IT’S THE FEDS!

There definitely have been a case where the police, observing things with thermal cameras from a helicopter (for it is in the US where this tale happened), observed some house with a highly suspicious heat signature. ...Some dude's crypto mining operation.
Well, that was definitely indirectly drug related.

This is because "The Drug War" is just a device for political persecution of the people that whoever is in power wants to harass or outright remove. It's the Nixon Playbook and it's not just Republicans who use it.
It's more basic than that as well. Cops assume that if you arent hiding something then it's fine. In a very real sense cops are looking for criminals not crimes. If you act like they think criminals do they're going to be a pain in your ass at best and possibly even pressure you into confessing to crimes because "they know a criminal when they see one".
But the inverse is also true. If you break the law while acting like you have every right to do what it is you're doing, you can often get away with it so long as the cops aren't tipped off. Someone owns that bike, some people lose the keys to their locks, if someone isn't hiding that theyre cutting a bike lock most of the time that person owns the bike, and if they confidently say it's their bike, it's not like a cop is going to check or even have a way to check unless somethings off (unless they think you look like a criminal). A potted plant in the front yard is the same.

My buddy once had an epic hydroponic set up going in his garage. One day the garage door went up for some reason. Guess someone saw it and called the cops. They went full on raid of his garage only to find some of the best fucking vegetables in the city. He said they were actually visibly upset that he only had veggies
Cops get pissed when their hunches are wrong because they still believe the hunch, they just think you got away with it

LoL, this just reminded me of the movie "Shoot 'em Up" with Clive Owen's character being a stone cold badass while munching on carrots he grows in his garage.
BTW, though it is a cartoonishly ridiculous action flick, "Shoot 'em Up" is a terrifically fun movie to watch.

In a way it sorta did. Not directly obviously but if you look at the history of bitcoin, its first truly viable use was darknet markets. After getting established as the currency there, it proved it could work and banks n all started buying it, so it was the weed that did it in a way

I once flipped on all my synthesizers at the same time, sparking a main plug (I cannot reach) so I had to call the building owner. An electrician had to come fix it.
2 weeks later a guy was standing at my door unannounced, wanting to measure everything and check my rooms for a potential weed farm.
I now turn them on in small groups to prevent it happening again.

Disguise your grow op as a server farm... We're "crypto mining"
You've never been at a grow farm, have you? You can disguise it as much as you like, you are never getting rid of 100% of the smell.

Genuinely, does growing weed consume that much energy now? With the LEDs lamp?

Bit of orange chronic will fix that right up

It really depends on the size. There’s home grows all over the place nobody ever smells because tents and negative pressure and activated charcoal filters work. I’ve grown in my house in a very illegal state and felt fine having ac techs come and work right outside that room while flowering.

if you ask the spacebucket community they might know. i assume it uses a lot less, but i'm not taking everything into account

A button worth $25,000 on the low end to refill+replace the magnet, a million on the high end if it needs total replacement. It calls to me when I sit with the mri techs. Looking like SpongeBob trying to not push it sitting in the back.
I understand.

Uh i didn't know you could grow servers. I assumed they were assembled in factories, being machines and all.
Does anybody have experience with this process? Where do you get the seeds from? What soil do they grow in? Should you water them, or not (considering them being machines and all)? Do they need sunlight exposure? And if yes, how much of it?

It still blows my mind that a plant is illegal. One with medicinal uses, no less. What will they think of next? Banning sunshine?

Not weed, but I was going to HS prom in the 80’s and my date had a bottle of sparkling grape juice she showed me when we parked. 3 cop cars came out of nowhere, zoomed up and got us out of the car. I was laughing knowing it was non alcoholic. But the look on the cops faces was priceless. Just total disappointment. They all had to look at the bottle just to make sure. Hadn’t thought about that in years until your comment.

If black people like the sun too much, probably.

So, a moment of curiosity.
If my theoretical pistol did get pulled into am MRI machine, stuck against it by the magnet, and I, for the purpose of scientific inquiry, pulled the trigger, should I expect the bullet to fire more or less as normal, to fire, but the bullet be pulled back to the machine, or for the bullet to not move, or not move more than an inch or so from the barrel?
Lead is not magnetic.

I’m no expert but I heard you can compile the kernels to grow them yourself
