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.

Oh awesome, thank you enormously for all your work!

Are you on Android? I am not seeing a 1.0.153 update available, still on 152.

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.

At the scale of war, something purpose-built like this is helpful because it’s customized and standardized for exactly what they want it to do. But if it would really be that helpful for individual acts of terror, I think we’d have seen rudimentary versions by now. If terrorists haven’t been using RC cars or rovers already, I don’t think this is enough of a jump in tech to make them start.

They went on a trip, and now they return to monke

In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

So apparently, it’s true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don’t)

Pixelated photos of Joe Rogan, wigs photoshopped onto Putin to make him look like a woman, and a claim that he is a nondescript bearded man who, in carrying out a clandestine operation, stood next to Osama in a published video? This is the stuff of crackpot dreams, like the video that went viral a decade ago claiming Osama and Obama were the same person.

Make a big batch of pour over and just freeze the extra in an ice tray. Use that to ice hot coffee and you don’t have to change your recipe at all (though you can still use a slightly tighter ratio since cold things taste less, which is why I’ve cream needs such saturated flavoring and so much sugar).

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.

Expansionism and settling is and was wrong. No doubt. To compare it to Hamas’s attacks is simply disingenuous.

Ok buddy. You know how I think and what I notice. That’s an impressive power you got there. Good thing you’re putting it towards such a thorough understanding of the situation.

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.

The recent Dungeons and Dragons does something similar well. Independence Day is a classic in that vein. Many/most superhero movies follow that formula as well.

A different scale, but a lot of sports movies have a similarly satisfying underdog/comeback story.

Nah, if that were true you’d see lots of moldy spots. After all, it’d be spoiled.
