  • Let’s say you don’t speak German, when you see the german posts in the ALL feed do you downvote them each and every time because they are in a language you don’t understand?

    That’s not a very good comparison, they were specifically stating they down voted something they thought was harmful and shouldn’t be promoted.

    For your example it would be closer to seeing a post written in German but it’s a post saying positive things about Nazis or something.

    Then yeah, I would hope people would down vote it.







  • He takes us to a creek downhill from a new construction site for a data centre being built by US firm Quality Technology Services (QTS).

    George Dietz, a local volunteer, scoops up a sample of the water into a clear plastic bag. It’s cloudy and brown.

    Well, maybe they didn’t have proper sediment control but a creek is a lot different than well water. Most people don’t drink out of creeks, sediment control is done more for the purpose of protecting fish habitat.

    Hauls buckets of water to flush her toilet

    What? You’re concern is sediment in your well water and then go haul dirty brown sediment filled water from the creek to flush your toilet instead?

    Buy a sediment filter for your well water. Even people not beside giant data centres should have one just because it keeps the system functional and running better. It is practically a requirement to have one.














  • You definitely could, especially with infinite resources, but prioritization also saves money.

    If you had a core train that ran all the way from hope to Whistler we probably wouldn’t be needing to spend all this money expanding the highway or even have HOV lanes so it quite possibly could be one or the other, because once the money is spent on HOV lanes people may say a train is too expensive we have no money left.
