  1. Amazon: We'll monetize your data and pay you back with cancer. What a time to be alive. https://www.techspot.com/news/110442-amazon-data-centers-linked-rare-cancers-miscarriages-oregon.html Amazon data center linked to rare cancers and miscarriages in Oregon, report warns Connecting the dots: The environmental damage caused by data centers could be having a greater impact on people's health than we realized. According to a new report, several of Amazon's facilities in Oregon have contributed to a rise in rare cancers, muscle disorders, and miscarriages among nearby residents. The Lower Umatilla Basin aquifer in Morrow County, Oregon, is the only source of water for up to 45,000 residents, reports Rolling Stone. But samples from the aquifer show that chemical toxins have increased over the years. Nitrate concentrations in some wells have been found as high as 73 ppm (parts per million), 10 times the state limit of 7 ppm and seven times the federal limit. It was discovered that 68 of the 70 wells in the area violated the federal limit for nitrates in the drinking water. Jim Doherty, a cattle rancher and former county commissioner of Morrow County, told the publication that he noticed more people in the area were reporting unexplained medical conditions, including cancers that usually affected the elderly. Doherty said that of the first 30 homes he visited where residents were reliant on well water, around 25 people had recently had miscarriages, while six had lost kidneys. There was also a 60-year-old who had his voice box taken out because of a smoking-related cancer, but he'd never smoked in his life. Doherty believed that the rise in these cancers was in part due to several massive farms and food processing plants in Morrow County. But some experts say the arrival of a 10,000-square-foot Amazon data center in 2011 "supercharged" the pollution. The farms pump out millions of gallons of wastewater loaded with nitrates from the fertilizer, with most of it seeping into the ground. Amazon's arrival in the region has intensified an already-serious environmental problem. The company's data centers draw tens of millions of gallons of groundwater from the aquifer each year to cool their servers. That water is then discharged into the Port's wastewater system, where it mixes with existing nitrate-laden runoff that's already being pumped onto nearby farmland. Because the soil in the area is highly porous, it quickly becomes oversaturated, allowing even more nitrates to seep downward into the aquifer instead of being absorbed. The issue compounds when Amazon extracts that same contaminated groundwater – already above federal nitrate limits – for its cooling systems. As the water circulates through the data centers, some of it evaporates, but the nitrates don't, resulting in a higher concentration of pollutants. By the time this used water is routed back into the wastewater system, nitrate levels can spike dramatically, in some cases averaging 56 parts per million – roughly eight times higher than Oregon's safety threshold.
  2. Low rent trash gonna low rent trash.
  3. Venezuela must be invaded because drugs. Honduran drug criminal must be released we have a fucking idiot for president.
  4. SIAP. What's rumor on the $$$ that LSU is offering Lane?
  5. Difference for the D between the 1st and 2nd half. Simple. Tackling. We tackled much better in the 2nd half. Aggy O is the KState dink offense. We have the athletes to match theirs. If we make tackles, the offense sucks.
  6. This is why our recruiting sucks. Kate, WTF did you do?
  7. It did until it became "political" and got moved here. Another one was re-opened which is free of derp.
  8. Unfortunately this is not true. Austin citizens have to deal with the consequences of his bullshit all the time. It's a fucking revolving door where the only question being asked is, "Did you kill anyone?" If the answer is "No", here's $200 and Get Out of jail card.
  9. This motherfucker laughs at you.
  10. Travis County title transfer office is fucking awesome. It's clean and, more importantly, not a shitshow. I had to go there a month ago. Walked up, talked to a dude, he gave very clear instructions and was extremely helpful. Gave us forms to fill out and sign. Took our info to get in a queue. Supposed to take 30 mins. 10 mins later, got called to a desk. Filled out forms. Given new plates. Took 5 mins. Only complain I have is that there are no chairs to sit on when conducting the transfer business. But it only took 5 mins so no biggie.
  11. I'm not worried about the Guardians Of Pedophiles. I'm worried about Americans.
  12. We are not even through year 1 of this shit.

  16. We win by a field goal. Fuck you, Bert!
  17. I have better things to do than to watch shitty YT Golfers, who take themselves way too seriously, shank it all over a course. Add Portnoy to the equation and it's Fuck No. The only YT golf I watch are the NZ guys. They are actually very good, almost pro golfers. They don't take themselves seriously and often make fun of themselves for not making it. I watch them for the banter and mostly good golf. If I want to watch golf for golf sakes, I'll watch a PGA event.
  18. Lawsuits filed. https://www.statesman.com/news/article/camp-mystic-wrongful-death-texas-kerr-flood-july-4-21151789.php?utm_source=reddit Families of flooding victims sue Camp Mystic, owners for wrongful death of 8 campers, 2 counselors The $1 million-plus lawsuits claim Camp Mystic didn't adequately warn parents of the flooding dangers on the property and that its emergency preparedness plan was subpar. The families of six campers and two counselors who died in the July floods at Camp Mystic in Hunt, west of Kerrville, filed two separate lawsuits suing the the camp and members of the family who own it for negligence and wrongful death. The lawsuits, filed Monday in Travis County, allege that camp management knew of the flooding dangers and neglected to inform parents of those risks, claiming the deaths of 25 campers and two counselors were preventable. "There is no greater trust than when a parent entrusts the care of their child to another," the petition on behalf of the family of 8-year-old Lulu Peck states. "Camp Mystic and the people who ran it betrayed that trust. Camp Mystic’s shocking betrayal of that trust caused the horrific, tragic and needless deaths of twenty-seven innocent young girls, including Eloise 'Lulu' Peck. This case seeks accountability for that betrayal and to send a message to other camps – protect the kids in your care." The Peck lawsuit names camp owners Dick and Tweety Eastland, Camp Mystic, Mystic Camps Family Partnership, Mystic Camps Management and Natural Fountains Properties as defendants. Britt Eastland, Dick Eastland's son, is named in the lawsuit as the Eastland family's representative; the elder Eastland died in the flooding. The multifamily lawsuit names the same defendants, with the addition of Eastland's other son, Edward, and his wife Mary Liz. The multifamily lawsuit comes from the families of Anna Margaret Bellows, Lila Bonner, Chloe Childress, Molly DeWitt, Katherine Ferruzzo, Lainey Landry and Blakely McCrory, who died at Camp Mystic. Childress and Ferruzzo were counselors, while the others were campers. "Today, campers Margaret, Lila, Molly, Lainey, and Blakely should be third graders, and counselors Chloe and Katherine should be freshmen at the University of Texas. They all are gone," the lawsuit states.
  19. They're hoping he thinks of all the children who will die if they payout his contract.
  20. Posted this in the skiing thread but I'm sure non-skiers will appreciate. Without sup oxygen, summitting and then skiing down the bitch. Holy shit.
