Alabamians Want Answers About a Four-Million-Square-Foot Data Center Coming to Their Backyards
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/29805461
Residents in and around Bessemer are furious over Project Marvel, a plan to build a 4.5-million-square-foot data processing facility on 700 acres of wooded land. Public officials have been sworn to silence.If built to planned capacity, the data center would be one of the largest in the United States and could become one of the largest single consumers of electricity in the state. Of nearly a dozen residents interviewed by Inside Climate News, none expressed support for the project as planned. Instead, all shared fear and frustration over their inability to obtain information about the $14.5 billion proposal from politicians charged with representing the public.
Efforts by Inside Climate News to speak with public officials in Bessemer about the proposal, called Project Marvel, were met with silence. The mayor, his chief of staff and the city’s attorney all signed a non-disclosure agreement with the developer, staffers said, and would not be able to answer questions about the project.
Brexit madness - again
'His partner, Sarah, went further, accusing successive governments of a “betrayal”. Money that she believed had been saved by exiting the EU should have been channelled into improving it and other public services, she said.'
What money was saved? It has been a massive cost.

My #Leica IIIf has fully adjustable flash sync, allowing you to dial in the point a flash bulb ignites precisely.
This is great, because it means I can get "high speed sync" with 1950s technology.
The downside is that you sometimes need to burn through some bulbs to figure out exactly what settings to use. This is the result of some experimentation on Thursday night - some of these are definitely not even, so more testing is needed!

❗️Istanbul is not a free pass for Russia — the world must hit harder than just a 17th sanctions package, says Ukraine’s FM Sybiha.
Putin isn’t seeking peace — he’s faking talks to delay sanctions and keep the war going.
“Buy the ‘constructive Putin’ act again, and you’ll get another Bucha.”
Those war goals are to eliminate the Palestinian people, first in Gaza and then in the West Bank.

Darwin: The only way to win is to fight to the death.
Actual scientists: Multi-celled organisms are regulated by mitochondria where mitochondrias have their own DNA and help regulate cells so they don't become tumors. Mitochondrias are actually social creatures and the only reason complex organisms can ever exist and Darwin should be killed with extreme prejudice.

Das Bild zeigt den prächtigen Innenraum eines Gebäudes, vermutlich ein historisches oder kulturelles Gebäude, mit einem hohen, gewölbten Deckenbereich. Der Deckenbereich ist reich verziert mit kunstvollen Fresken und Ornamenten, die in warmen Farben gehalten sind. In der Mitte des Gewölbes befindet sich ein großes Fresko, das eine Szene mit mehreren Figuren darstellt, die in einem himmlischen Umfeld zu sein scheinen. Die Figuren sind in klassischen Gewändern dargestellt und umgeben von Wolken und Engeln.
Die Decke ist mit goldenen Verzierungen und geometrischen Mustern geschmückt, die die architektonische Pracht unterstreichen. Die Wände sind ebenfalls mit kunstvollen Mustern und Fresken verziert, die die Deckenornamente ergänzen. Die Säulen sind aus dunklem Marmor und tragen goldene Verzierungen, was dem Raum eine majestätische Atmosphäre verleiht.
Im Vordergrund sind große Fenster zu sehen, die viel natürliches Licht hereinlassen und den Raum beleuchten. Die Fenster sind mit hohen, archenförmigen Bögen versehen und rahmen die Szene ein. Die Deckenleuchten, die von den Säulen hängen, sind mit mehreren Glühbirnen ausgestattet und tragen zur opulenten Atmosphäre bei.
Insgesamt vermittelt das Bild einen Eindruck von Luxus und historischer Bedeutung, was auf die Architektur und die Kunst im Raum hinweist.
