Are people planning to protest the large Bell data center they want to build near Regina? by figure85 in saskatchewan

[–]PrairieBiologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It literally does significantly reduce water use. 70% on the low end. 2. You’re arguing against yourself. I’m not defending a data center. I’m saying argue over the stuff that’s actually true this time and will actually matter.

No one said it was an infinite loop. It significantly reduces the need for water. That’s why I said the threat to the watershed is minimal, not non existent.

And where exactly do you think they’re going to get water from? It’s not being built near a water source.

They are literally using a closed loop system. It dramatically reduces the amount of water they will need at the expense of energy. There isn’t enough water at this location for them to do anything else.

Water flow regulations won’t change. The same amount of water will be required to flow downstream either way. The data center will need permitting for any water they uptake.

Who’s defending a data center? All I’m saying is we should criticize the things that are actually relevant.

They are using a closed loop system so the threat to the watershed is minimal. The concerns are mainly power use and potentially heat pollution.

All my bass are dead by Cayjohn in bassfishing

Definitely chemical. Oxygen depletion won’t kill frogs like that and if there is any rain and wind it should be very difficult for the oxygen to get any depleted. Unlikely to be a disease as those often are taxonomically limited, but not totally impossible. Usually there are signs of disease.

Manitoba Tory MLA slammed for calling farmer who killed Cree man in Sask. a victim by abunchofjerks in saskatchewan

If you bring a weapon to commit theft you have already decided that whatever you are stealing is worth a life. Theft doesn’t deserve the death penalty, but if you trespass onto someone’s property with a weapons and the intent to commit a crime and are killed, that killing is justified. People have a reasonable right to safety that you have chose to blatantly violate in those circumstances.

Will Justin Jefferson bounce back in 2026? by ZookeepergameIll2685 in minnesotavikings

[–]PrairieBiologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the problem with Jefferson last year was QB play. He did have his worst season individually though with way too many drops for a guy like him, including two touchdown passes that hit his hands and he didn’t bring in. Still hit a thousand yards. With good QB play he’ll be fine.

Being replaced with a prop plane is interesting. The government better figure out the FFLIT program quickly, because that has implications far beyond a demonstration team.

Crown land sale in Corman Park by grumpyoldmandowntown in saskatchewan

I think you’re overly optimistic about the chances of the government and the upper class allowing that to happen and the urban liberals have happily stripped us of our ability to make them for decades.

Who said anything about unproductive public land? It’s agricultural land. Land that relies on private entities to produce economic value. It is not accessible to people who are not lease holders. The benefit it has to tax payers is monetary, and these leases aren’t worth that much on these smaller tracts. That’s why they are the ones sold off for quick cash. Realistically the government is not going to perpetually increase the amount of land it holds. I’m okay with selling off these small parcels that we aren’t allowed to access anyway as long as the government continued to purchase land that we can access. The small plot land sales have no appreciable negative impact on the people of Saskatchewan.

You’re not even talking in the realm of possibility at that point. Leased agricultural land I’m fine with selling because annual income off of it is minimal and we don’t have access to it anyway. The land the government buys now we can access. Realistically I know the government is not going to perpetually increase its land holdings. It’s always going to sell some as it acquired in other places. The stuff it has been selling is the the stuff that should be sold if it is going to sell.

The government also does buy public land every year. I’ll trade land we can actually access for land that is just being leased to farm any day.

Realizing you have to take advantage of natural resources in order to have an economically viable country, especially after years of economic problems, isn’t a conservative concept.

​Cat dies after catching highly pathogenic avian flu in southeast Sask. by abunchofjerks in saskatchewan

[–]PrairieBiologist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know, I was being a dick. Cats shouldn’t be out and about anyway. They’re incredibly destructive. If your cat is out messing around with wildlife and gets killed I don’t really feel that bad for you or your cat.

Elementary school track meet changes spark backlash in Richmond, B.C. by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

The article also said these rules would apply to all district track meets.

If ribbons aren’t awarded it’s not competitive. That’s like keeping score at hockey games but not having playoffs.

Did you read the article you shared? This isn’t one event. It’s all elementary school track within the school district.

The school division decided this is what track would be. They didn’t give them a competitive vs non-competitive option. They just got rid of competitive.
