The image features a simple, stylized icon of a padlock centered within a circular border. The padlock is depicted in black, with a classic design that includes a shackle and a body with horizontal lines, symbolizing security and protection. The circular border around the padlock is white with a subtle gradient, transitioning from white at the center to a light blue at the edges. The background of the image is a solid, deep blue color, providing a strong contrast that makes the padlock icon stand out prominently. The overall design is minimalistic and modern, conveying a sense of security and privacy.

Life next to a US data center
"I can't live in my home with half of my home functioning and no water," Ms Morris says. "I can't drink the water."
"I'm afraid to drink the water, but I still cook with it, and brush my teeth with it," says Morris. "Am I worried about it? Yes."
Meta, however, says its data center and the poor water quality are not connect.
Meta, the truth sayer.

'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre
Residents in rural Georgia say the data centre next door has disrupted their water supply.By Michelle Fleury (BBC News)
rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
Well, according to the article (which I don't trust entirely, as news outlets regularly get the most basic technical aspects wrong):
Many centres use evaporative cooling systems, where water absorbs heat and evaporates - similar to how sweat wicks away heat from our bodies. On hot days, a single facility can use millions of gallons.
Then, technically, water is not "missing", just turned into steam, but... you get me.
The Beeb is sort of implying this is the case, but of course they didn't bother to dig up or offer any more specifics to the reader.
and?
Evaporating it means that it will rain somewhere else. No water is lost. There are no chemical transformations, so evaporative systems, even if the output was steam, are just creating clouds of water, which will rain again.
Where is the "lost" water, exactly?

Land is losing freshwater
abc.net.au/news/science/2025-0…
As the atmosphere heats up, it holds more water longer
Many drought stricken areas lose freshwater because of evaporative cooling.
Evaporative cooling often uses chemicals and leaves behind a nasty sludge.
There's another water part of a data center which actually circulates water around the servers. This uses highly chemically treated water which is changed regularly because of various buildups

I suppose it's "lost" in the sense that it's no longer available where it previously was.
If I evaporate your pool, no water is "lost", but you'll have a hard time bathing in it.
I think that's what they're trying to say, but it's... pretty vague, to say the least.
@amigaunicorn
To someone who is thirsty, it matters a lot that there isn't enough water nearby.
And anyway, there is a global freshwater crisis that is accelerating.
So, both locally and global, there are huge and growing issues with access to freshwater.

Whilst I know you're all celebrating today which is of course National Kitten Day and National Piña Colada Day, it also happens to be #ChronicDiseaseDay. "A day of awareness, empathy and support for those with constant health battles and unseen struggles. A day dedicated to shining a light on the struggles faced by those living with chronic disease. Its purpose is to create greater awareness in the hope that we can provide better treatment and management of conditions, as well as more effective prevention measures."
So I hope you'll spend a moment thinking about the people in your life living with a chronic condition, which can be exhausting, overwhelming and sometimes confusing. Facing challenges that in addition to physical pain and side-effects of medication can cause stress, anxiety and low self-esteem and lead to social isolation. So big huge massive love to you all and your nearest and dearest and I hope you have a great day. ❤️

49 anni dopo la nube tossica di #Seveso: paura e misteri sulle terre della #Pedemontana.
Ancora oggi restano dubbi enormi su quanta diossina sia fuoriuscita: chi parla di 300 grammi, chi addirittura di 3 quintali. Tuttavia, poiché l’autostrada viene considerata area industriale, non tutti i terreni saranno sottoposti a bonifica.
Ci sono troppe domande senza risposta e i cittadini continuano a chiedere chiarezza.

in reply to 🐴 Sharp Stallion 🏳️🌈 • • •Das Bild zeigt eine Straße unter einem Betonbrückenabschnitt. Auf der rechten Seite steht ein Schild mit der Aufschrift "Hagenauer Str." und einem grünen Kreuz, das für einen Rettungspunkt steht. Darunter ist die Anweisung "Ruf 112 wählen" zu lesen. Neben dem Schild befindet sich ein rotes und weißes Warnschild mit einem orangefarbenen Licht. Die Straße führt in die Ferne, wo weitere Fahrzeuge und ein weiterer Brückenabschnitt zu sehen sind.

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Straße an einem sonnigen Tag. Im Vordergrund ist ein Gehweg zu sehen, der von einer dichten Grünhecke gesäumt wird. Die Straße ist asphaltiert und hat eine zentrale Fahrbahnlinie. Mehrere Autos fahren in beide Richtungen, und im Hintergrund sind einige Gebäude und Bäume zu erkennen. Links im Bild sind mehrere Fahnen mit der Aufschrift "Billux" angebracht, was auf ein Geschäft oder eine Werbung hinweisen könnte. Die Straßenlaternen sind gleichmäßig entlang der Straße aufgestellt. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, was auf gutes Wetter hinweist.
