She's got an attorney and they're trying to stop it based on that, but it just seems like everyone involved (edit: besides her) just doesn't give a fuck.

It's a lot like another commenter mentioned about eminent domain. It can be used for good (roads, fiber deployments, district heating, etc) but also for things not so good (data centers, etc).

I went out of my way to find a house that didn't even have a vestigial HOA deed restriction, so I get that. But when a private citizen donates something to the local municipality, it's pretty egregious to not honor those restrictions, especially for things that may take a while to develop.

I'd donate my share of my family's farmland to build a park, but I wouldn't sell it for all the money in the world to build a datacenter or landfill or anything else, really.

Even if they didn't do her dirty, she wouldn't. She donated it to the city and relinquished ownership of it. The expectation, even written into the deed, was that the land was to be used as a park, but they turned around and sold it multiple times. Despite the stipulation in the original deed to the parks and recreation department, the data center is still going forward.

The story is just such a tragedy all around.

Or when Nellie shot the hooker with a crossbow because she was bored.

Yeah, that show got dark after the 3rd (or was it the 4th?) season.

The comparison goes deeper. Nellie and Joffrey were basically the same character (minus the whole royal drama). Both evil, spoiled brats with rich parents who usually got away with whatever they did. The fact that decades apart and in completely different shows that their actors look strikingly alike is pretty interesting.

Bike alpaca is Taylor Lautner (from Twilight)

Joffrette is Alison Arngrim who was Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prarie.

Weirdly, back in the dumb phone days, with T9 I could bang out texts way faster and more accurately so long as I wasn't straying too far out of the dictionary. But it was super easy to add new words, and it would pick them up later.

Similar vibes:

A few years ago I decided to try the lithium-ion UPSs. I'm on my 3rd year with them, and I will never go back to lead acid. I've got one "classic" UPS that is still in good shape as long as you don't try to run more than 100w from it, but when it goes, it goes.

These use the LiFePO4 batteries, and I get close to twice the runtime as my old ones, and they don't drop from 80% to 10% like lead acids do. The battery chemistry is also good for about 10 years of daily cycling, so assuming the electronics hold out, they seem like they'll last.

The only hiccup with the model I got is it doesn't have a serial monitor connection, but you can probably fine plenty that have it.

Also nice pun!

Took me a smidge more than a second, but I finally got it. Well played, OP.
