Proposed gas pipeline for Project Jupiter data center delayed to 2027, filings show

Proposed gas pipeline for Project Jupiter data center delayed to 2027, filings show

Interesting development. After hiring a Louisiana firm to conduct interviews with Las Cruces citizens about their feelings about a pipeline running through to supply Project Jupiter, the developer released a statement indicating that they were a bit surprised by our feelings about this. They ambled on with vague statements about having to rethink the pipeline. Now, look at this statement. It sounds s as if they plan on not only putting the pipeline through but that it will be larger than originally proposed.

Anyone with any informed insight on this?

Taylor Farms recalls jalapeno products over salmonella concerns

Taylor Farms put a warning for salmonella a few days ago and it was posted here already. However, the warning was only for fresh jalapeños. Now there’s a warning on all products containing the peppers that have been made into spreads and dips made by Taylor and you’ll find them in all stores in Las Cruces with the exception being theof Fiesta/Lowes chain. No hispanic specialty stores other than Fiesta were mentioned in this article so make sure to check labels to see if the product was made by Taylor Farms.

If you have friends and family in El Paso or other of its’ small towns near it, could you please pass this on?

Watch for sales or food bank donations of this brand: Del Monte

I just bought a few cans of Del Monte pineapple and noticed that the display carried all kinds of fruits from the same brand but in a disorderly display. Then I heard that Del Monte had gone bankrupt and I’m thinking that the display was such a mess because they’re trying to get rid of the old stock to make space for different brands.

Look for sales on the DM brand now. Some stores may be donating the old cans to food providers.

Sometimes e we all just need something a bit sweet to ignite the pallet.

While you’re looking, those small cans of tomato paste are being replaced with larger sizes. They may be on sale. Also, canned garbanzo beans are being discontinued because people aren’t buying them enough to justify shelf space. Keep an eye out for them, too.

A Texas Deputy Searched 83,000 Flock Cameras To Track Down a Woman Who Had an Abortion

I’ve been harping on how LC’s Flock destroy the privacy of women leaving Texas for health care here for awhile now. I’d heard of one case soon after the city installed Flock here and here’s another case.

Please take the time to read the article. Note that the Texas deputy lied about the reason for hunting down this woman. Also, note that he checked many states’ data, even those who do not block women’s health procedures.

First Light CU vs Nuesta

Anyone here using Nusenda? I’ve been thinking about changing credit unions since First is a customer service annoyance and I’m hoping there’s a difference.

Nusenda is behind a lot of building funding and sponsorships. They support PBS and more which gives me a sense of community involvement and First just doesn’t seem to do anything.

I know there are few ATMs for Nusenda right now but I’m hoping they’ll add more on the chest side of town. I get so annoyed with First not having cash in an ATM on a Monday morning and if you have trouble with the machine we’re just told that First can’t fix issues quickly because it is headquartered in El Paso and Las Cruces Is their “satellite” with a lower repair priority.

Today was almost the final straw when I waited in the back over 30 minutes with not one in line ahead of me being served in that time. Then, I discover that it will cost $10 to replace a lost debit card and $5 of I call in and wait in line on the phone. I simply can’t find any added value to absorb the additional fee.

Anybody having better experience with the new credit union in town?

From the FlockSurveillance community on Reddit: Boiling the Frog

I don’t have kids. Has anyone seen flock cameras is sensitive areas? I’m aware that LCPD has has issues with pedo behavior under a different police chief And I’d like to make sure the City Council has not approved Flock to solely watch children. Has the police chief addressed this?

From the FlockSurveillance community on Reddit: Flock microphones triangulate a noise source and send police to a man’s home claiming he’s firing a machine gun.

I’ve been doubtful about the said ability for Flock to listen to activity around it. Now I know it’s possible. This incident wasn’t on a major street or highly-secure location. It’s a guy on his own property in his own neighborhood.

Be aware of what Las Cruces City Counsel has installed.

I’m really offended by Alexa+ constantly trying to get me to disclose my health conditions. They also want to know why I want to know a lot of things. Is Amazon looking to sell this data to DOGE?

Try asking a simple question about a prescribed med or OTC. It will give the answer and then ask personal questions about my health. . If I ask how far a city is from my present location they’ll ask if I’m going on a trip.

BTW, I’ve learned that if I don’t want it asking polite-up questions I swear. Shuts it up like you’ve yelled in a church.

Is ICE staying at local motels in preparation for raids? My guests stayed at a motel I’ll leave nameless, with eight rented vans in the lot, all the same make, model and color, and it left me nervous about their safety.

What is it about Las Cruces not talking about kidnapping and hauling people away? OSS it a big secret that we have both Border Patrol here that takes people to camps where people are strangled and die from untreated illness. Do we not care?

What do cameras installed on street lights look like and who pays for that work?

My city’s subreddit contained a note that several major streets have had flock cameras installed on street lights. I noticed that one camera installed at a major intersection was taken down and wondered if they replaced it with a hidden one, so I want to make sure.

Can someone provide a link to street light installation so I can compare? To be clear, I do not mean installation on a traffic light.

GOP governor candidate Duke Rodriguez was under restraining order in Arizona, where he lives

EDIT: The person pictured is the columnist who wrote the story, NOT Duke Rodriguez. I didn't realize reddit would blow up the picture so big and should have tried to change it.

--

Same guy currently suing to take away New Mexico's universal childcare.

>Here is a sampling of Rodriguez’s messages to the woman in one three-day span:

>Jan. 5, 2020 — “Simple question: Are you seeing or being intimate with others?”

>Jan. 5 — “Thank you. Your silence is clear again just like it was in Vegas when I worried about you not feeling well. What an idiot I was.”

>Jan. 6 — “Please answer yes or no.”

>Jan. 6 — “Can I stop by?”

>Jan. 6 — “Yes or no? Walk?”

>Again on Jan. 6 — Walk?”

>Jan. 7 — “Breakfast?”

>Jan. 7: “Are you free?”

>The woman also presented phone records as evidence against Rodriguez. For instance, her log from Jan. 7 showed Rodriguez phoned her twice, though she had blocked him. That same day, she testified, “He showed up at my condo unannounced and uninvited.”

>The judge, whose name was not apparent in the record, interjected, asking the woman if she had responded to any of those texts from Rodriguez. She said she did not.

“Project Jupiter started with a belief that Doña Ana County could become a Tier 1 industrial engine for New Mexico,” BorderPlex Digital Assets Chair Lanham Napier said in a statement. “We said we could help bring cleaner energy, stronger infrastructure, more jobs and new investment to southern New Mexico, and that vision is becoming reality. With this announcement, Project Jupiter is becoming a platform for better jobs, stronger infrastructure, and generational opportunity in a region with the talent, work ethic, and ambition to help lead New Mexico’s next chapter of growth.”
A notice of air quality permit application filed in the Las Cruces Sun News shows that the new microgrid proposal would emit fewer greenhouse gases than the prior plans — but critics say the figures are still exceedingly high.
Source NM previously reported that plans for Project Jupiter’s on-site gas plants would emit more greenhouse gases than Albuquerque and Las Cruces combined, at more than 14 million tons per year. The figures were so high that climate advocates assumed they were typos. The new notice puts that figure at 10 million tons per year — a nearly 30% reduction.
“I don’t know that this is the clean energy solution that they’re saying it’s going to be,” New Mexico Environmental Law Center staff attorney Kacey Hovden, who’s involved in active litigation against Doña Ana County officials regarding Project Jupiter, told Source NM. [Bold added]
