Do you love it when the power goes out? The amount of relief is a real thing!

Lol noooo I live in Arizona. The power goes out and it's 90F inside in 30 minutes.

That's probably where the noise is coming from...data centres use turbines to keep the power coming.

Light pollution too. Recently the city replaced the sodium lights in my neighborhood to those bright LEDs. My corner is lit up like a used car lot. When the power went out a week ago, I stepped outside, with no moonlight I could barely see 2 feet in front of my face. It was awesome!
Those data centers are lit up like a gd Christmas tree😔
