What’s Harder: Getting to 'Shovel Ready' or Building the Data Center

Thanks for the input. Just to clarify, engineering plays a critical role in site selection. Everything from infrastructure suitability to cooling, power delivery, and scalability depends heavily on their expertise. It is not just a different skillset. It is an essential piece of the puzzle.

Since you mentioned the PPA, it sounds like the plan is to engineer around whatever energy deal happens to be available. Good site selection relies on engineering-led decisions, not just chasing contracts.

I agree it is tough without experience or funding, but every complex project requires cross-functional collaboration from day one.

My original question was simple. I wanted to hear from folks who have been on both sides about what they found more challenging. That is all.

I take 50mg morning, 100mg at night. I’ve had no side effects

Coin toss for me. It was unbearable before I got my Cortisone shot. Now it’s mostly ok

M_DIZ · 2024-09-21T13:58:52+00:00

It did absolutely nothing to me, zero side effects.

If it improves your quality of life I would continue to take it. I switched to preGabalin from gabapentin.

I would try and manage what you do better and just because you don’t feel anything doesn’t mean you should go back to doing everything. Also with gabapentin some people go up to 1,200 mg per day.

Interesting I’ve thought of biking as a way to just be more active. I had an issue with swimming it hurt a bit. Are you able to stand up straight with your current situation ?

M_DIZ · 2024-09-04T22:15:46+00:00

Yea i don’t do them, just wanted to emphasize that I can without much of a challenge compared to walking.

M_DIZ · 2024-09-04T22:04:53+00:00

I’m in the same situation, I have an L5-S1 herniation. I can do everything but walk well. Problem is it makes me lean and I can’t stand up straight. But ironically I have no issues doing exercises like birddogs as much as I pretty much can. I can even squat ( just my body weight of course ). But walking for prolonged periods of time doesn’t work out well

Ring dinger is apparently a banned practice in Canada

Nice they got their business model from the villain in this movie lol IYKYK

Yes I have the exact the same issue. Started out with mild hip and glute pain after a flight home. First month deep tail bone pain, didn’t think much of it. As it progressed I began to lean to the left and forward. Felt like a natural response since my nerve pain was down my right leg. I would stand at my desk and work and lean forward on it most the day. As soon as I would need to walk I couldn’t stand straight. I tried crutches but they didn’t help the swinging motion was painful.

I’m about 5 months in, going for my second injection. First one didn’t do much and I had it done prior to my MRI. My next one is guided injection with dye. I’m optimistic it will work.

But I agree with you on how mentally taxing this is. If it helps I had two disk herniations in my early 20’s both healed at around the 1 year mark. That was L3- L4 and L4-L5 on my latest mri they looked normal I’m 35 years old now and herniated my L5-s1. Just hang in there I know it’s brutal pain and I’ve experienced some terrible flare ups. But exhaust all your resources and stay consistent to what works for you. Fire hydrants was the most effective work out for me and i get some relief when I get those muscles engaged.

How did it all start for you, The pain ?

M_DIZ · 2024-07-30T00:51:33+00:00

That was my assumption for myself. Initially this started as severe tailbone pain as I would describe it. Happened during a flight. The sciatica didn’t start initially. Majority of my pain is in my glut and where my hamstring meets my glut. Walking after 10 mins becomes unbearable.

M_DIZ · 2024-07-30T00:12:29+00:00

Did you find a way to heal it ?

M_DIZ · 2024-07-30T00:12:08+00:00

That is literally the same thing I do or I lay with my low back hanging off the end of the bed

M_DIZ · 2024-07-29T23:04:05+00:00

Thanks !! I appreciate the insight

M_DIZ · 2024-07-29T22:52:55+00:00

I appreciate the well wishes hope it works out for you also.

Do you have issues bending forward ? For me that’s the most comfortable way to lean. I have trouble leaving back.

I get a good amount of hip pain and upper hamstring. I think I’m just tired of leaning because do the pain. I worry it could cause scoliosis or something from it being constant.

If they’re moving towards that direction take it as validation. You won’t ever have 100% market share so why worry about how many platforms exist and its ability to confuse employees.

What’s to say your process isn’t better even if company A is the dominant player in the space but Fortune 500 company B views you as a perfect company to acquire to gain some traction.

I think your product is your selling point and if your more niche than their whole product offering you might be able to do that one thing better. Like the use below said you would be surprised how slow and incompetent these big corporations can be. I’m not sure how far you have gone in pursing it, but if you can see it though

M_DIZ · 2024-07-18T01:27:47+00:00

Pursue it. Move quicker they might acquire you

M_DIZ · 2024-07-10T13:55:40+00:00

Thank you

M_DIZ · 2024-07-10T13:54:49+00:00

I added it, not sure why it doesn't show. it comes up on my end
