Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I read that Italians only claimed pasta as a national dish because Mussolini pushed it- some kind of effort towards a national identity.

Sanitation is being put out to Pasteur

Ditto. Deeply frustrating.

I mean, I always thought Faye was obnoxious with unflattering clothes- but I also loved the live action series.

Nah, it was stylish and goofy in a way that made you realize how goofy the original was.

I resented that culture insisted I care about people who, as far as I could tell, hadn't done anything. I don't care about how much someone parties, or if they're rich, or have a sex tape. Lohan was an actor, at least- I don't want to hear about Paris or the Kardashians because why?

In an era when libraries synced automatically and space was valuable.

Bono did get Apple to do something invasive and shitty.

I'd say the outcome is known: no one is going to have a good time.

As this is relevant to my job, here's the score:

This process has been coming for a few years now.

Some old houses had small sections of their "service line"- the pipe between the main and the internal plumbing of the house - made of lead. The amount of lead that leaches into the water depends on the chemistry (the Langelier Index) and the contact time. There is currently a requirement for regular testing to see if water that sits for 8+ hours leaches enough lead (& copper) to be dangerous if someone drinks it for 20 years.

The difficulty of replacement is that records from before the 60s are spotty and may not note the material of the line. This will require potholing in front of every house to try to determine the material.

My town was already planning this out, and was starting to get prices from contractors.

It can be done in a non-shitty way. Most people don't, so if you want all the ranchers against the wall, I get it.

Look up AMP grazing if you're interested.

Yeah, people here don't have to sound out our words when we read.

It's projection. The US tried to make one, along with bombs that turn everyone gay and hallucinogenic mind control. We are fucking stupid.
