Prompt: list the next friday febuary 9ths occurring on leap years

Response: Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Friday, February 9th occurring on a leap year. Here's why:

• February only has 28 days in a typical year and 29 days in a leap year.

• Since a month consists of 4 weeks (28 days), the day of the week for any particular date repeats every 4 years.

• This means that if February 9th falls on a Friday in a non-leap year, it will fall on a Monday in the next year, Tuesday in the year after that, Wednesday in the third year, and back to Friday in the fourth year.

• However, since the fourth year is a leap year with an extra day in February, February 9th "shifts" by one day, falling on a Saturday instead of Friday. Therefore, it's impossible for February 9th to be a Friday in a leap year. The next Friday, February 9th will occur in 2029, but it will be a common year, not a leap year.

They use evaporative cooling on days where it is over 85f

Microsoft’s data centers currently use adiabatic cooling, which relies on outside air to cool down temperatures inside. It’s a system that uses less electricity than air conditioning and less water than cooling towers. But when temperatures rise above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, outside air isn’t very helpful. At that point, an evaporative cooling system kicks in, which uses water. It works like a “swamp cooler” — cooling the air by pushing it over or through water-soaked screens.
