Very specific, but pre-sharpened straight razors (think Sweeny Todd) are not that. They're still pretty sharp, but not sharp enough to shave with.

Go to Goodwill and shop some DVDs. I've discovered so many films that are either not available on streaming or are available but have never been recommended to me. Just watched The Game with Michael Douglas recently which I had never heard of and was pretty good. For $3/pop, it's not a huge risk.
That sucks. Sorry about your luck.
I think OP is talking about all of the future data centers that are allegedly being build despite nobody even knowing where. Nvidia has agreed to pay OpenAI $10B per gigawatt of datacenter for 10 gigawatts of datacenter build up over the next few years.
Unlikely that will fully materialize, but that's the current outlook.
IDK, I think turning them into paintball arenas would be pretty sweet.
I’m not sure what you mean about the premise of “wool” in the story though?
I just didn't buy the impact of the cleaners. Like it's supposed to be a mystery why they choose to go through with it, but we find out they go through with it because a VR helmet convinces them that what they saw through the cameras was a lie when really the VR helmet is a lie. So like...what's the point? If you can make VR helmets, why not build a robot to clean the cameras? If you still need a scary death sentence, just kick people out of the silo and watch them die due to exposure as they clamor to get back inside. The result is the same: outside scary, don't do anything that gets you forced to go outside.
Making a lie to cover up another lie seems like a very roundabout way to solve a lens cleaning issue.
As for the rest of the wool references, puns do not metaphors make.
The only Kindle book I've ever returned.
The Silo series. First one was okay though the protagonist could be a bit of an idiot at times (I'm freezing, I should light these small tires on fire. That'll keep me warm for 2 minutes while I choke on the smoke), but as a hard scifi, the series never answered enough critical questions (how do they get clean air?, is there really an oil deposit under Atlanta?). Also, the entire premise of how "wool" enters the story is so contrived, I failed to catch why it was necessary both in-universe and from a storytelling standpoint.
The second book was a prequel and the back stories of one of the characters was so fucking boring and predictable I just started skipping his chapters.
I read Wikipedia for the third book.
Does that still work? Last I tried it, YT broke it.

Sorry. Wasn't precise. I believe the term was something along the lines of "ready to shave," as in you could pull it out of the package and start shaving. Apparently that used to be the case, but one manufacturer started slacking so everyone else followed suit.
