This is a post I just made on Facebook concerning a massive data center being constructed in Fort Wayne, IN. Ours is probably somewhat unique as it is being located in an area of our city near residences which is causing a wide variety of concerns, but the data centers are going up all over the place. Makes one wonder what exactly is being stored in them?:
I just read a post that this is what the Google monstrosity being put in our backyard is all about. If so, no wonder it was cloaked in secrecy and we were never given a say. Talk about making Fort Wayne a target on a warfare map. Great job State of Indiana! (If it’s proven this is BS, I will apologize for making assumptions. I PRAY I will need to apologize!):
“The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $9 billion cloud computing contract to Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle[1][2][3][4][5]. The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract will provide the Pentagon with enterprise-wide cloud services across all security domains and classification levels, from the strategic to tactical level[1][4].
The contract, which runs until June 2028, is a departure from the previous JEDI contract awarded solely to Microsoft in 2019[1][2]. The JEDI contract was mired in controversy and legal battles, with Amazon alleging political interference from former President Trump[2].
The multi-vendor approach is more common in the private sector and aims to make the work cheaper and more resilient[2][3]. Each company will compete for individual task orders, with a minimum guarantee of $100,000[2][3].
The award is a significant win for Oracle, which is not typically considered a top cloud provider[3]. All four companies have achieved high-level security accreditations to host the Pentagon's sensitive data[4].

Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.

@KimIversen I have always believed Justin was Castro's Son until I saw a photo of Pierre's Brother Charles Trudeau (Justin's uncle) who looks almost Identical to Justin.... Also idk if i Agree with your description of Fidel being a "Sexy" "Strapping" "hot" "Cuban man" or "Imposing" lmao 😂😂 He had unusually wide hips for a man, Weak jawline/double chin, weak upper body, and what looks to be 30-35% body fat. the only redeeming quality( Body wise) was his height
Here are the numbers for Massie's primary that I got off of Kim's vid about it. Thing is, i'm not sure if those numbers were official of just exit polling. Anyways, it add up to over 52% of the vote for Massie.
78% of 9.6 = 0.78 × 9.6 = 7.488
65% of 22.8 = 0.65 × 22.8 = 14.82
53% of 35 = 0.53 × 35 = 18.55
35% of 32.7 = 0.35 × 32.7 = 11.445
Sum: 7.488 + 14.82 + 18.55 + 11.445 = 52.303
Answer: 52.303% of the total votes cast!!
Why isn't anyone else doing the math?????
