Buttigieg: If you want a house, your mortgage went up because interest rates went up, because of this war. Your tank of gas got more expensive. The price of food this summer will be more expensive because fertilizer is more expensive because of this war. They are asking for an extra half trillion dollars for the defense budget. That is thousands of dollars from every household in this country. So we are paying directly for this. And what do we get in return? Is the world any safer? No

A Pennsylvania farmer has rejected a $15 million offer from data center developers, choosing instead to permanently protect his family's land.
Mervin Raudabaugh has lived and worked his farmland in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, for more than 51 years. He milked cows there for decades, and the property holds deep personal meaningโhis mother passed away in his arms inside the family barn.
To developers eyeing the land for a high-tech data center, it represented prime real estate near major infrastructure corridors. To Raudabaugh, every acre is an irreplaceable piece of family history.
Last month, he made a decision that surprised the local market: rather than accept the $15 million+ offer, he sold the development rights to his 261-acre property for about $2 million through a conservation easement held by the Lancaster Farmland Trust (with funding and support from Silver Spring Township's preservation program).
This legal agreement permanently restricts the land to agricultural use onlyโno data centers, no industrial development. The easement binds future owners as well, ensuring the farmland remains green forever.
The developers' pressure was intense; township officials reported aggressive approaches that led Raudabaugh's attorney to consider seeking a court injunction against harassment.
Silver Spring Township has long prioritized preservation. Since a 2013 voter-approved referendum dedicating a portion of earned income tax to farmland, open space, and forest protection (costing the average household roughly $120 per year), the community has preserved 21 properties totaling hundreds of acres.
Raudabaugh can still sell the land someday, but only as farmlandโlikely fetching far less than the data center deal would have paid. In total, his compensation will be a fraction of the $15 million on the table.
In an era when farmland is increasingly swallowed by digital infrastructure to power AI and cloud computing, his choice stands out as a deliberate stand for heritage, legacy, and community over maximum profit.
For Raudabaugh, the quiet certainty that his family barn and fields will endure outweighs any fortune a tech giant could provideโa powerful reminder that some values transcend dollars.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

I was muttering yes YES all the way through. When they took seasoned & shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, cheese, & formed into a faux drumstick around the bones, then breaded and deep fried itโฆthese guys are next level.

O Farol do Jument foi construรญdo em 1904, foi um pesadelo de engenharia que durou 7 anos. Erguido sobre o recife Ar-Gazeg, na Bretanha, os operรกrios sรณ trabalhavam na marรฉ baixa, iรงando blocos de granito de barcos em meio a mares brutais.
A obra foi financiada por Charles Potron, um sobrevivente de naufrรกgio que deixou 400 mil francos para que um farol fosse feito naquele ponto mortal. O desafio foi insano: cada pedra de granito era encaixada como um quebra-cabeรงa para suportar ondas de 30 metros de altura.
A forรงa do oceano era tรฃo absurda que a estrutura original comeรงou a rachar logo no inรญcio, exigindo reforรงos de aรงo perfurados a 30m de profundidade na rocha para o farol nรฃo tombar. Uma das construรงรตes mais รฉpicas e perigosas da histรณria.
