American farmers grow more food than the country eats, export 20% of the surplus, and we the buyers throw out another third of what’s left. Farmers collect $1.85 billion a year from the federal government to keep a Kentucky-sized 40,000 square miles of farmland intentionally idle https://blog.andymasley.com/p/data-center-land-use-issues-are-fake

Data center land use issues are fake

We have plenty of land, data centers provide more revenue per unit area than any other building, and we should have way less farmland

On this #StarWarsDay, it's important to remember that the Galactic Empire was a stand-in for the imperialistic tendencies of the United States, especially in the wake of Vietnam.

Fight the empire, friends.

It's not Photoshop. Volunteers evacuated a bright green homeless dog from Druzhkivka in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast and took her to a vet clinic in Kramatorsk for sterilization.

She's a stray that local people had been feeding. One day, she chewed open some food coloring and rolled in it. Her health is excellent, but she's very green now.

Why does Microsoft think that releasing WEEKLY office 365 is actually a good thing? A button that says “Hey there's an update", would be preferred instead of the auto-popup update thing they have now.
