Couple that with concerns about increased electric bills and the noise, and it's a trifecta for "Fuck you, not in our county!"
Down by Granbury there's already one that got famous locally because of the noise and everyone around here knows about it.
Signs opposing them were on tons of gates and in yards when I drove from Jacksboro to Mineral Wells this weekend. Folks out that way are serious about it!
Driving through a very rural part of Texas this weekend, I was shocked at how many farms and ranches had "NO DATA CENTERS" signs on gates and in front yards.
Mine is brewing as we speak!
Even looking back at memories of walking around Fort Worth with a camera to get cool architectural shots, I'm already noticing! Dammit, you're giving me a new type of autistic hyperfocus! 😂
Before I head to bed, just want to take a second and remind everyone to remember the 76 people including 26 children that died on this day 33 years ago in Waco, and the 168 people including 19 children that died on this day 31 years ago in Oklahoma City.
Iran gonna sink a US Navy vessel and I'm just gonna laugh and say that we had it coming.
Handfuls??? I tried canning collards once. It takes BUCKETFULS!!! My god, it just disappears in boiling salt-porky waters!
Not a good reading of Christian scripture or the actual relationship Jesus had with the Pharisees. Read a lot of the scholarly takes people have posted under this. Don't accidentally do Evangelical antisemitism.
For a lot of folks it's probably fine. For those of us that understand things like big boats adrift and military escalation? Yeah, we're gonna suffer some anguish. Ignorance is bliss and I'm beating my head against a wall hoping to get dumber.
Oh wow. They used the 5" guns. And yeah, if they hit where they aimed, and they usually do, yup. Adrift. Maybe that's what the Iranians were saying about responding. They might have got tugs out to get control of the vessel.
Jesus this is a clusterfuck.
Quit supporting the oil and gas company that donated heavily to the GOP but also provides the natural gas to your electricity provider! Don't give them a dime, even indirectly!
I trust Iran slightly more than Trump's blustering and lying. But a boarding does make more sense than torpedoing a big ass boat that could cause logistical nightmares. The US Navy still has people that can think about shit like that, and Trump can just lie about it on his Truth Social.
Ahh, ok. I hadn't seen that yet. Makes more sense now.
I generally hope for the least amount of destruction in war, but I'm at the point that if Iran put a couple of US Navy vessels on the bottom of the Persian Gulf I wouldn't blame them.
Are you seeing a source other than the Trump tweet? Not sure what you're referencing.
That's typically where a torpedo will hit.
How in the world did you come to that conclusion after reading the post you're replying to?
If it hasn't yet, it will.
I mean, if we're putting machines in half marathons, I bet I could beat this machine's time and any human world record by operating my machine (a car).
I did not know this interested me until I saw this post.
I mean, it works really well!! Even in modern militaries, if you want to stop a bullet or shrapnel you fill up bags of dirt and stack them up.
To build this, soldiers constructed the thick walls then filled the entire building with dirt. Once the dirt was piled up in the shape the roof needed to be, you could use it as a form to support the rock and concrete roof. Once cured, you then dug out that huge amount of dirt by hand.
Small square building made of rock with a rock and concrete pyramid roof for storing explosives in the 1860s. At the entrance you can see that the walls are 4 feet thick.
When you store tons of explosive black powder in 1868, you do it in a building with 4 foot thick walls WAY away from where you work and sleep on a frontier Army fort.
It’s the end of the road for the old job folks. Company in a tailspin, shuttering locations, shedding benefits and good people left and right. Full death spiral. I need some help getting out of here faster before it all crashes down and I’m starting from nothing at 50. Please.

Amazingly cute, and surprisingly fearless! They came so close while grazing that I had to actually zoom out with my lens to frame them. Mama was watching me close, but the babies were not worried in the least!

Guess what?
GOSLING BUTT!

It was really cloudy and I'm using a Tamron lens that's pretty OK at best, but managed to get some pics worth sharing.
