  • There is also this.

    Tl;dw is that these data centers produce a ton of inaudible low frequency infrasound (think that feeling in your chest from a subwoofer) which can have health effects, especially with prolonged exposure.

    Basically this guy recorded sound and infrasound and tested the neighborhoods around data centers vs. West Texas where all of the oil drilling and fracking activity is vs. normal places. The data centers were producing massive amounts of infrasound 24/7 and neighbors were really pissed. Multiple reports of health concerns from it. It was more than the areas of drilling and fracking in TX.

    One of my favorite moments of the video is when he is at someone’s home near the data center and discussing the situation and he lays the camera down on the floor and the video feed begins to visibly vibrate.









  • The second amendment of the U.S. constitution guarantees the rights of citizens to bear arms. Many liberals support stricter gun laws so that there are stronger background checks, limits, etc in order to try and reduce mass shootings, etc. The right wing folks are generally the opposite, trying to remove limits and make them accessible.

    So no, you cannot evoke the second amendment as a defense for shooting anyone. It would only be a potential legal defense against laws limiting gun ownership. The second amendment says you can own a gun, not that you can shoot people with them.

    As for the state’s monopoly on violence, that pretty much stands except in clear cut cases of self defense. So if someone were to shoot an ICE agent (and survive the situation to make it to trial), it would have to be some pretty extraordinary circumstances that would allow the person to avoid conviction of a crime.
