Would love to have one without the labels. Perfect wallpaper material. Is the source somewhere in nasa.gov?

It’s always whoever he spoke with last. As such any statements are meaningless.

Pretty sure it was frogger on a Commodore 64.

Uninterupted? Sounds like this place has never closed, even during war, in 300 years. I presume exceptions for holidays and maintenance.

Is that even one potato?

From what I’ve read the new mayor has withdrawn all orders from the previous mayor following his criminal indictment on the grounds that they may be self serving to the previous mayor and/or made as political favors intended to avoid prosecution.

I’ve also read the new mayor is reviewing each to see which are worth reimplenting in part or in whole.

Whether or not this was a wise choice is up for debate, but it is no surprise that those affected were ready to pounce in order to score political points. Someone associated with the new mayor must have seen this coming for this particular religiously charged topic, and must have known the NY press would not be forgiving.

Time to EDC TP.

That reads as stupid as it was to type.

With the rise in life expectancy I think this is a new problem, but you’re likely right that it will continue as power is not easily relinquished.

I think this is less the legitimacy of the tests but the hypocracy of the admin putting such importance in the thing then retalitating against lower level people when one of their own appointees fail.

Insert “not like this” matrix meme here.

Yep. Distilled to 95% then cut to 40%. That’s why they’re so often flavorless. The slop here is the missing information to make this make sense in the context of the paragraph.

The FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access”

So signal not compromised, but a member of the chats was leveraged to share its contents.

Surprise! Full text does that, too.

Thanks for the link! :-/

Stupid bit of text conflating concepts and creating it’s own definitions. Everyone should have abstained.

Every instance I’ve seen with actual details has been improper use of real property tax exemptions. In many states you get a discounted tax rate by declaring your home as your primary residence. If you own several properties you only get the discount on one, which is supposed be the one you live at the most (ie primary residence).

The “fraud” part comes in play if you claim multiple properties as your primary. It’s harder to do that if the properties are in the same state, but it’s easy if they’re in different states since states don’t talk with one another. It’s so easy that it’s often accidental.

We’re talking a few grand a year in tax savings. It’s ripping off your state by under paying and people in these positions should know better so it’s harder to give them sympathy, but elevating what may be an accident to a supposed major scandal is a silly headline making exercise.

And why is this happening? Retribution, of course: first person I recall being attacked in the manner recently was MTG.

I don’t think that could have been written any harder to understand.

Well damn. Lead restrictions weren’t Federal law until 1986. TIL.

Although some areas added local restrictions starting in the 1920’s, industry lobbies kept the things on the market for decades. Ugh.

Nobody in the last century+ has lead freshwater pipes.

That said, some of our underground infrastructure is very old, and those old iron pipes had fittings sealed with lead and oakum.

Water flowing through such pipes have pH and chemicals carefully controlled to avoid that lead corroding or dissolving. The Flint, Michigan disaster was a direct result of not managing water chemistry correctly, but there are hundreds if not thousands of communities at similar risk who are kept safe by water scientists and engineers doing their job correctly.

That said, hot water tanks do accumulate minute quantities of undesirable metals over time, and depending on a wide variety of variables between the water source and your tap it could result in unhealthy levels of things you don’t want to consume.

So yeah, don’t cook or drink from the hot water tap.
