Which is exactly why federal funds are necessary for it rather than local. The places that need this most tend to be those with the least money for local infrastructure, but if the money doesn’t have to come from the cash-strapped local budget, that’s not an issue.

Projects are already underway and have replaced our two lagest lead service lines in the medium-small Illinois city where I live via federal funding over the last year. City literally just applied for the funds from this same program and hired private contractors once the funds were approved. About 3 months of construction on each of the 2 roads under which our main service lines run, and now lead has been fully removed from 60% of residents water supply, with the last 40% to occur over the next 18 months.

It’s been pretty simple.

What is a single thing about Twitter that has gotten better? Selling my Tesla for an electric Mustang was the best choice I’ve made in a while.

I don’t give really a shit about him, but from the dropoff in Twitter’s usage and value to production and publicity issues at Tesla and cutting off the Ukraine army’s access to Starlink, it seems there’s, well, a lot to hate about him. And like he might not be that good at his job.

Two spirit and furry feel different from the rest tbh. I think they open queerness back up to views that it’s a choice or a learned behavior and not naturally human.

The article literally says that the plans match the tactics and movements seen/recorded in the raid of this kibbutz and others. Dumb for them to bring the documents with? Yes. Still the exact way it happened? Also yes.

Sounds exactly like my (and most managers’) situation(s). Oh, work…

Thank you bro

Ah makes sense. As someone deeply and unfortunately entrenched in middle management, I never think of “boss” and “owner” being the same person, and I know for a fact that my boss is working hard as hell lol

Thank you and exactly. I think most people who think managers do no work actually just don’t understand managers’ jobs (and how much work some people are to manage lol).

Is this supposed to be serious or is the term “bro” used so heavily to criticize/call simplistic their take on it?

Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.

Idk what to call the album, but Anakin’s lightsaber and Wu-Tang already have something on common

They’re for the children.

Idk what dicks you’re looking at, but that’s HUGE (in my personal experience)

Nope, by comparison 2mm sounds huge to me

Cliche, but love is the only thing that feels good and worthwhile 100% of the time. Excitement, thrills, ambition, sensory pleasure, all of these and everything else feel wasted or actively negative if you’re not in the right context for them. But there’s never a time that a genuine feeling of shared love feels bad, whether you’re in the best or worst or most random situation.

Might sound like a cop out, but I’d argue that any love that does feel bad is actually more desire than love. Just my take, but I know philosophers have much more thought out ones.

It’s probably 6mm circumference, not length, which really changes things. That’s almost 2mm wide, which, in my experience, would be huuuge…

You’ll be ok. Sometimes you’ll be wrong, and someone will have the right to point that out, but you’ll be ok.

“Sounds like a skill issue”

In (Madrid, at least) Spain, it’s a sorta huge deal in schools, with every kid under 14-15 dressing up, a lot of schools doing costume parades, and many classes giving out candy and watching movies. But outside of school, it’s all but ignored. You’ll see little kids in costumes and a few bar events, but no trick or treating and no decorations.

The much bigger day/event is carnival, for which kids wear costumes again and there’s a big parade in most cities.
