-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

We need to replace those lead pipes with esbestos pipes
i personally hope theyre all replaced with flimsy plastic lined styrofoam
yeah, and then instead of lead from decaying lead pipes, we can have micrplastics from decaying plastic pipes :D it's future proof!
Imagine a major sewer line made entirely out of plex
You know how you can just run many smaller lines to equate the flow rate of one larger line, right? So imagine instead of one sewer line converted to giant plex, it's like three dozen or so just regular sized plex lines running the sewage system, only they're brown instead of blue or red or white. That should do it. No need for a large pipe.
yeah, that wont be a problem when someone flushes one of those "flushable" wipes...
Dude, they're clearly marked flushable, I don't see what the problem is
When winter comes it's perfect reaping season for contracts with cracked pipes.
