I spend twice as much time rebooting and reconnecting my Roomba than it would take to vacuum the room…so, I guess my submission to my robot overlords has started. FML

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

The Data Center at 5th and Quebec has been pulled from Council...perhaps for a later date? If my math is correct, this data center would pull 26 Megawatts of power...or enough to power nearly 23,000 homes...which is equivalent to all of Mount Pleasant and then some? dailyhive.com/vancouver/m3...

Question to our American friends. Does your Social security work like our Canada Pension Plan...it is something you pay into ( via your paycheque ) so you have something for your later years? Our CPP is OUR money...we paid into the plan. Our Gov't could not just take it away. Is SS the same?
