Citizens for Rural Coweta says that it is not against data centers, but argues that they should be placed in preexisting industrial areas to mitigate threats ranging from industrial sprawl and construction traffic, to pressure on local water supplies and air pollution from hundreds of on-site generators. The group also has questioned a Prologis projection that the facility will generate $100 million a year in taxes to fund local services.

I hope they don't fall for this, but ..

Well over 10,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel, many under severe conditions including torture, sexual torture, rape and deliberate starvation. Thousands have not been charged with any crime. Many are children. The new wave of detentions came on the same day that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed publicly that there will never be a Palestinian state, as he rubber-stamped Israel’s grossly illegal plan to annex large portions of the occupied West Bank. The kidnappings continued on Friday morning 12 Sep: Israel is a terrorist state.

Thank you. It's okay. We all have our own issues to answer.

I'm glad it's not your biggest challenge. I've lost neighbors and family to both sugar and salt, as well as plenty of other addictions resistant to curbing.

I mean diabetes isn't necessarily a death sentence, but I'd imagine it's not fun at all. Turns out self-control is really hard. It's kind of why I gave up on trying to control anyone else. Does that affect ours and others' lives both negatively and positively? Resounding yes. I'm just glad I don't have diabetes, but I have continued to adjust my diet, with a few major f'up days. Other habits are still challenging me.

Ngl, doctors recommended it for babies with constipation a couple of decades ago. I just looked and it's no longer recommended.
