Data Center Promises, Veteran Tough Guys & The Most Forgettable Show on TV

Don is back with another episode of The Daily Dose of Don, mixing Fortnite, weed, entertainment, and some much heavier conversations.This episode starts with Don’s immediate reactions to the August 19th and 20th data center meetings. He gives the Town Planning Board credit for asking tough questions—including concerns about sound traveling across the St. Lawrence River—but explains why he still has a hard time trusting promises made by corporate representatives.The argument that “eight years ago was a different time” particularly bothers Don. If the current AI boom turns out to be a bubble, eight years from now could be a very different time too. And corporations might want to rediscover the old “Don’t Be Evil” philosophy before an increasingly skeptical younger generation decides capitalism itself is the problem.Also in this episode:🌿 Joint of the Day: Pink Skittles gets a thumbs up, while Strawberry Jello Runtz tastes like none of those three things—but delivers a good buzz.⚓ A Message to Fellow Veterans: Don has some choice words for veterans mocking sailors who complain about difficult conditions. If we want service members and veterans to ask for help before reaching a crisis, maybe we should stop humiliating them when they actually speak up.🏮 Lanterns Episode 1: Don knows he watched it.
