  • To be fair, if everything in the system leading up to the school is lead free there should be minimal leeching only happening in the school pipes.

    If the pipes in the school have any sediment buildup sequestering the lead from the water there would be little to no leeching.

    Definitely looks bad when you say “keep lead pipes in schools” but the reality is still something like “95% of lead removed from water coming out of school taps”

    Also, might make schools likely to remove lead pipes if the system is lead free. No point in removing lead pipes from a school if there’s +20 miles of lead pipe leading to/from the school


  • I fully hear you and agree.

    Every 5 days there’s a software update, for something that just changes one or two things slightly - but rarely if ever is it an improvement.

    Oh, you want to do this simple thing you were able to easily do 3 days ago?

    Now you have to change 4 nondescript settings, use 3 separate hotkey commands, watch a YouTube video, and troubleshoot for hours to get a once basic function to preform correctly.

    I’d bet that the AI system will be used exclusively to identify + paywall things you’ll want/need to use your phone.

    seems like you want volume control, based on your history you want 1% volume, subscribe to" basic functions" package to unlock volume options, and “basic functions premium” for up to 5 volume adjustments a week!

    “basic functions unlimited” fully unlocks both volume buttons and for a limited time unlocks the spacebar for 5 minutes an hour from midnight to 6am!




  • Killing education is definitely a big part of it, but controlling every news source in huge areas and pumping outright lies and disinformation 24/7 can eventually break down anyone living in that environment.

    These people desperately cling to hierarchy. Bad people go to jail, good people don’t.

    These people never hear about Trump being bad, and only see him slip though the law effortlessly.

    All they see is Trump being innocent and not getting in trouble at all, ever, for anything. Half of all politics and nearly all Media hide or obfuscate Trump’s insanity and incompetence.

    So many voters see a president everyone they know and talk to adores, getting dragged by Democrats to no effect.

    “If he was guilty he’d be in Jail, but since he’s not in jail Democrats must be liars and everything Republicans say about him is true.”

    Easy, thoughtless conclusions that reinforce their worldview and solidify them as supremely correct.

    Now, they’ll certainly move the goalposts once he is in Jail, because they will also never admit they were wrong about anything because if they’re wrong about Trump, they’re wrong about their entire worldview and that’s something they are not mentally able to do.



  • Immigration has nothing to do with housing or job markets?

    Are you suggesting that the fundamental principles of supply and demand don’t count because immigration =/= the ruling class?

    You have 0 reading comprehension my friend, I’m also fairly left leaning and anti establishment which is plain as day in my comments.

    Definitely must be frustrating to try and (wrongly) attack someone objectively left leaning and anti establishment for being right wing.

    Also, what was your portrait of Canada growing up? Exclusively hockey, Donuts, bad coffee, and free healthcare? That’s all the national pride/identity you’ve ever had?


  • Man, I love it when people stop reading after finding one of their trigger phrases.

    Try reading the entire comment next time.

    Don’t know why I’m wasting my time writing more stuff you won’t read, so I’ll just call you a dummy now before you fully stop reading this comment too.

    1. growing up I always felt Canada was a peacekeeping nation that helped people out and gave people struggling from war/oppression a safe place to live and become a part of the Canadian tapestry. America brought war and bombs while Canada brought hockey, donuts, a warm coat, and bad coffee. Polite, warm, and welcoming were definitely part of the Canadian identity and a source of our superiority to America.

    I myself am a first generation Canadian, so yeah - kind of a fan of immigration, even if my homeland is arguably better than Canada.

    1. literally every other part of my original comment directly stated immigration was being used to suppress wages and it exclusively benefits employers to the downfall of everyone. And that it’s not the fault of immigrants, but broken politics favoring wealthy interests.

  • They’ll just import people in from around the world to replace lagging birthrate.

    Overall birthrate is expected to peak around 2080 so there’s still plenty of time to shuffle people around!

    In Canada we used to have a serious immigration policy that was part of the Canadian identity, and now we’re literally flooding the country with people almost exclusively from 1-2 countries with no qualifications required.

    The workforce collectively lost significant bargaining leverage as millions of desperate people continue to saturate job markets and suppress wages.

    Plenty of jobsites have no oversight regarding certification, so even educated people lose out because it’s cheaper to train a desperate person on the job and pay them next to nothing/under the table instead of hiring an educated workforce with labor rights and who expect a wage that reflects their abilities. For what it’s worth, I know plenty of educated people who are awful at their jobs too.

    So even if all the Western countries get border walls with 100% coverage and catch rates, western governments everywhere will happily throw open the gates for cheap labour regardless of public opinion






  • Yeah, but I assume the entire plane isn’t running the original 24 year old parts.

    You can install new shit correctly, but if that shit was made by Boeing, then every time shit got replaced it likely got replaced with worse shit.

    Eventually all the good Boeing shit gets replaced by okay shit and that gets maintained with mediocre shit.

    Eventually some shit breaks and the backup shit is also shit so the shitty redundancies don’t actually do shit because Boeing has been non-stop shitting for decades, and then all the shit finally hits the fan and that is currently where Boeing is at.

    There’s a ton of shit and a lot of fans, so we’ll be seeing this same stories play out for a long time




  • The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.

    Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.
