Doesn't it have like 150,000 people? I guess I don't consider that a very small town. Maybe very small city? This kinda thing came up with friends during a Twin Peaks rewatch when we realized their tiny Town had 50,000 people but everyone knew each other.

This format for introducing a story is the most incomprehensible poo poo and I have to reread it several times before I stop seeing it as "my 36 year-old female husband."

In the first ones were the kids simply sleeping or passed out drunk? I guess one way to end arguments is to use the angry first of god with her comment "I own the house, you're leaving." position but I don't know that anyone is in the right here. The second one is an entitled witch who can't deal with being called out on it. She needs some cognitive realignment.

Like, drat, lady. Your kids love you and would be happy making a cardboard box fort with you in the living room. Mama bear ain't gotta leave the den to make the family happy, just stop freakin' out and have fun with the little motherfuckers. You ain't gotta feel like driving them into a lake or some poo poo when thing don't go your way. Rude awakening ahead when the kids don't think you're cool anymore.

this off smell was the result of a chemical called geosmin which can be released from certain algae that grow in warm-water surface reservoirs. Although unpleasant it is harmless and has nothing to do with murder victims, so its good healthy schad' on those suffering from it. The reason the Waco water treatment system did not already remove it prior to 2012 was not because it 'wasn't filtered,' its just that its difficult and expensive and wasn't prioritized as it's not a health risk. This is fairly typical of the problems with water in the United States. As a result of geography and climate it has to deal with many problems absent in water rich areas like Northern Europe, and because quality is already at a very high standard many popular issues are centered around aesthetic aspects or quality of life issues, rather than public health.

I had to take a business trip to StillWater OK a few years back. I thought the water smelt like absolute garbage and now im starting to wonder if this might be the same effect..?

It was mentioned earlier in the thread that Greek Orthodox churches in Australia are going to continue communion because they reckon that it's just not possible for the holy chalice to carry disease so they'll be safe:


Former tennis legend and current god-bothering homophobe Margaret Court's Victory Life Church put out a similar statement saying that they're going to continue holding services as usual because it's just not possible for the virus to affect them because Psalm 91:9-10 says “Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”

Australian ex-senator Fraser Anning has been declared bankrupt by the federal court today, exactly a year on since Will ‘Eggboy’ Connolly egged him during a public appearance in response to his abhorrent statements on the Christchurch terrorist attacks.

Now he’s bankrupt, while Egg Boy (as per an excellent BuzzFeed interview with Connolly from today) has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Christchurch community and victims of Australia’s bushfires.

In short: Eat poo poo, Anning.

Haha that makes so much sense. It always felt closer to the town where I grew up (~2000) than a small city.
