Lure me into the post with pizza, stay for the woodworking talk. Well played! (The cutting board looks great!)

Does mention it is passed to a treatment facility, some is treated on campus, and other is stored.

So according to epa report it was not expected to affect local groundwater.

I thought I found something earlier that alluded to it, but Lemmys on my phone and doing any real research is always annoying on it. I can try to find something. I know they do release very significant amounts of wastewater though. But whether that’s all back on public utilities or how it’s but back in the ground is unclear. I’ll see I can find anything specific.

But combine that with someone ~~dumping thousands of gallons of wastewater into the ground~~ basically across the street and weirder things are going to happen.

EDIT: Yeah, I don't think they are dumping water into the ground. Scratch that out. These datacenters DO use lots of water, as in millions of gallons per day, the concern there is more about how the public utilities and incentives were structured. [Quote for millions comes from Kate Crawford's Atlas of AI book, but the link was the the first data I could source, which looks less than that.]

I'm now thinking this article may be more about the person not liking the datacenter than it specifically affecting the well. Could construction cause some extra sediment to clog up the well intake? Seems likely.

In the south it’s also more common to either not have a garage at all or have a carport instead of an enclosed garage. It’s just easier to leave your car or vehicle (tractor) out anyway. Combine that with, I need to sell this or work on it at some point, you park it in your yard and will get around to it someday. Or maybe your cousin might need it one day so you’ll keep it. It’s a bit of an ingrained impoverished idea that you “might need it someday” attitude.

I’m also staying with family that are regularly using tractors pushing 60? 70? Years. I’m not even sure how old they are, but it takes a bunch of parts and pieces to keep these things running. Luckily here though the scraps are either off in a barn or not directly in between the house and the street.

That’s for the whole bag though. Is that how people use these things?? Just down the bag??

Ha! Yeah, that’s too great to change :)

I’m not sure how common it is, but anyone can book a performer. They advertise their prices for private shoes quite openly usually.

And also maybe the opening theme song to The Adventures of Pete and Pete references Kent State?

Yeah, which is why my comment had the latter part. I’m not saying it has “no yeast”. Just that if you were writing a recipe for a starter or for a sourdough bread you’d never explicitly include yeast. It’s pedantics.

Sourdough pizza has no yeast, but OPs does not sound like a sourdough crust.

(Ok, technically it does have yeast, but at the same time the ingredients would just be flour and water)

Also curious about this! Rabbits are stealing all our berries, and especially as the plants start taking over the beds
