Let the Rhumba begin! (eh-eh-eh!)

This should prove more robust than pungi-playing to charmingly hypnotize nearby false water cobras (Hydrodynastes gigas) in case Ceiba’s kapok (or another arch) goes kerplunk (however unlikely)!

I won’t mention here the EU’s Pirate Party (Yarr! https://www.theregister.com/2015/01/20/europes_last_pirate_gets_busy/ ) but local pastafarians could surely pre-heed the prospective rise of a tasty ZettaCthulhu Spaghetti monster of European proportions, with just two 1 PF/s CeibaRacks per 1000 residents, possibly complemented with a side dish-plate of fresh Cerebras tossed salad, or a rack of crunchy Groq appetizers — both best enjoyed with a glass of fine departed Mayan spirits of the Ceiba tree variety (I think)!

Within this perspective, it is eminently clear that locating AWS’ 512-rack Ceiba machine (550+ PF/s) in the Asheville-Lenoir (NC) corridor (pop. 112,000+) will bring the same enjoyment of a ZettaScalar computational experience, of the finest culinary quality, to these most centrally-located of eastern-seaboard tastebuds (Prime location!)!

As HPE’s senior VP Jeremy Cox recently almost noted ( https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/29/hpe_fiscal_2023/ ; see also today’s related TNP article), “customer digestion” by 30-foot long 550-lb Amazonian green anacondas (Eunectes murinus), of enormous girth, can take some time, and “de-elongation” or shrinkage might then ensue, providing much needed relief (if I understood well … ?). Accordingly, promoting a cloudy diversity in Amazonian rainforest DC gastronomy should prove most valuable to all folks who have not yet been devoured by local fauna (or not?)!

As Hubert once said then: “Bon HPC appétit!”! (and, good job on the mixing-up of those cloudy archs!) 8^b
