The North Carolina town of Woodlawn rejected a proposal by the Strata Solar Company to build a farm near the town after locals expressed serious opposition.

At a community meeting opposition was raised to the idea of a solar plant because it would “suck up all the energy from the sun” in the words of local man Bobby Mann, reported the local paper.

"You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out,” Mr Mann said.

Another local woman named Jane Mann who was identified as a retired school teacher expressed genuine fears plants in the area would not get enough sunlight to perform photosynthesis if the solar project was approved.

She also said no one had proved solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

“I want to know what’s going to happen,” she said. “I want information. Enough is enough. I don’t see the profit for the town.

“People come with hidden agendas,” she said. “Until we can find if anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn’t sign any paper.”

The council voted 3-1 against the proposal and then agreed to place a moratorium on future farms.

I'm confused by the Plant statement, does Jane Mann expect the Solar Cells to cover most of the farms' plantations in the area, or does an ex-school teacher actually not know how Light works? I feel sorry for her students either way.

The Cancer argument is a bit of a joke too. Nothing has been reported about people who live in close proximity to Solar Cells in the regard of overall health, and it's not like Coal-fired plants and Cars without Catalytic Converters (that are still reasonably common) are making air any better for one's lungs anyway.

Thoughts?

So today I was chilling and playing some MK8 online, which is pre fun tbh fam. I was surprised to note that one guy wasn't dominating the lobby for 5-6 races in a row, despite it being normal for a single person to go entire races up the front without being hit by an item, today the last race's winner kept getting bogged down towards the back of the field for some reason. On a match on Cloudtop Cruise I raced particularly well, having raced on that track a lot in singleplayer and knowing all the optimal lines to take, and the shortcuts not needing a Mushroom boost.

The race after that didn't go so well for me tbh. I made the mistake of going for the Coin patches at the start of Mute City, and never saw the front again. These 2 people from Japan made sure of that. I noticed it when I drove past a guy waiting with a Red shell, instantly realizing his plan (only thinking it was a one-time move) but being unable to make it to a wall to cancel the shell out, resulting in losing 3 places, where I met another fellow (again, Japanese) doing a similar tactic but much worse. Every item box he got was a Star (I'm not convinced he plays legit but I have no reason to think somebody has managed to hack online yet) and he'd always activate it and try to stop right in front of me, chasing and hitting me if I missed, before repeating the tactic for the rest of the race. I got past once thanks to some Mushrooms but outside interference from a Red shell dropped me behind again), and he waited before deciding I couldn't make up enough ground to score points, so I finished 10th out of 12. I left the lobby because there is simply nothing that can be done about that style of play.

TL;DR: Guy who might be hacking (but also may just be blessed by the RNG for a specific race) has a hate boner for skilled MK racers.

So what gives? That was blatant deranking, but in Mario Kart's Multiplayer I don't think it's even remotely necessary because it's largely a recreational game, and online score is inconsequential outside fake internet points as far as I can see. Can anybody think of a reason somebody might do this? Just trolling, or trying to forcefully share first place around in some kind of nanny state?

A 25 year old Woman died from a suspected Overdose, and a 22 year old Woman is in an induced coma after Stereosonic Sydney, a Music Festival renowned for its drug Culture from Steroids to Party substances.

...As long as young people are dying from this in Australia, we’re doing something wrong.
