  1. no offense intended. didn't realize the link went to an actual article. I didn't get the "feeding on itself" context of the comment and was thinking more about the images of cows unable to walk and falling down that played on a loop anytime Mad Cow disease was discussed in MSM.
  2. good, fuck all theives
  3. I am an FBI agent!
  4. taught my kids this little beauty... Eights on the other hand had them white knucking...
  5. I dislike amazon as much as the next guy, maybe even more. That said, the "techspot" summary article is a huge simplification of a much larger wastewater issue in the area. It basically regurgitates and attempts to amplify Amazons culpability in an issue that frankly they are a rounding error in. But no one really gives a shit about well water and farmers but they do love to hate big tech(and rightfully so in many cases) so thats the hook I guess. The Rolling Stone article is worth a read(its linked in the techspot summary). https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/data-center-water-pollution-amazon-oregon-1235466613/ The good news, as I understand it, is nitrates are effectively removed from drinking water with Reverse Osmosis filtering which is a few hundred to few thousand dollars per house. Of course thats not free, but not digging up every distribution pipe in the area type issue(Flint, MI)
  6. holy shit. that seems like a big jump.(but maybe I have GenX bias in regards to national news programs)
  7. Obligatory Are you new here?
  8. Sark as super brain genius play caller needs to earn his paycheck right here.
  9. Huh… D.C. has extremely strict gun control laws
  10. Pain don’t hurt
  11. Insurance fraud
  12. Incredulity

    NIMBYism

    But when it gets built the entire thing will be sold unit by unit to Chinese nationals trying to get any wealth they can out of China
  13. Disclaimer- I hold no bitcoin or crypto and as evidenced by previous posts am not knowledgeable in the space. This got fed to me by Reddit yesterday, I assume because I looked up Bitcoin/USD price on google earlier in the day. I would love to hear counter narratives from Crypto bulls, most specifically about electricity cost and miner death spiral.
