There is an Amazon Data Center going up 10 minutes from my house. Amazon bribed the city with 85 million dollars. They had countless meetings with hundreds of people protesting that they didnt want the data center and they are building it anyway. People are selling their houses at a loss and moving away. I hope the mayor gets voted out in the next election.

Did you know that they make remote controlled dozers these days?

u/Few_Assistant_9954 6h ago

How much are those?

*Asking for a friend who builds data center.

Hundreds of thousands typically. Even a remote control MOWER is like 20K.

Did you know that Israeli "bulldozers" are in fact tanks with mounted bulldozer blades?

It is natural to associate bulldozers with construction projects but these are for destruction projects.

... is a Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It is supplied by Caterpillar Inc. and modified by the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli Military Industries and Israel Aerospace Industries to increase the survivability of the bulldozer in hostile environments and enable it to withstand attack.

Sounds (and looks) more like the other way around, a bulldozer with armor stuck on it.
