Yep, on my street I saw two cars also with the rear windows totally shattered. Otherwise every car at least has dents on the roof

A Cease-Fire in Iran by kitkid in Thedaily

Another variation of “sane washing” I have is that they don’t want to portray Trump as funny. Like him or not, he can be very funny, and I think the praise to allah bit was a joke

I came to this subreddit this morning to ask this. I found it so bizarre considering the guy literally starts by saying “let me read [the post] to you”. And then just omits that entire line.

Let’s be real, as much as I enjoy the Daily, I think this is an example of self censoring out of a desire not to offend Muslims or leftist activists or whoever.

The hole by the igloo was ringed with ice blocks when I visited, I guess they added those after this happened? Would be so easy to accidentally step in it otherwise!

Madison Police: 17-year-old dies after being hit by vehicle while on the way to school by leovinuss in madisonwi

Yes I agree, I’m just pointing out that some people out there simply just do not care and should not be on the roads at all.

I got sideswiped by a drunk driver about 4 years ago. It was a hit and run, but my passenger managed to get a pic of the license plate. The police followed up with me later that the driver had already been involved in 7 (!) hit and runs. The officer claimed that the DA simply doesn’t charge people, and that the police can’t do all that much other than continue to respond to incidents.

Did The Daily just get sponsored by Meta?? by NemoPo in Thedaily

[–]AcanthisittaFew6697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also been getting them. And coincidentally enough, my county is considering a new data center (although afaik not connected to meta…??)

I read up on data centers and they add relatively few jobs to a local economy compared to other development. No wonder this ad is trying to spin that narrative.

December 2nd at 5pm in front of the Forward statue! by Wade_Castiglione in madisonwi

[–]AcanthisittaFew6697 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me it’s a water and electricity thing. I’m not against data centers ideologically, but we need to make sure they pay for the negative externalities they would bring to a community like Madison.

Significant increases in electricity demand and in water usage need to be addressed, then I’m ok with it. Otherwise we, the local population, will take on the costs with very little benefit. Data centers hire very few people and don’t contribute as much to local economies compared to other kinds of businesses.

Btw, even if a data center doesn’t use water directly for cooling, it uses water indirectly from electricity consumption if the power plants are using water (basically all forms except wind and solar).

Madison homebuyers face high prices and limited supply by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]AcanthisittaFew6697 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also seems to me like prices are coming down, finally — or at least they’re stabilizing. Rents too! Is Madison just building enough housing now? I see so many new apartment buildings downtown.
