water water everywhere and not a drop to drink
« on: October 28, 2018, 09:16:36 am »
Living in Austin (yes the tech capital) and its like a third world country having to buy bottled water.  So over it so wants an investigation which you cant even get a 4th city council person to support.. Looked in the stateman online and nothing about the noon today happening.  Hoping the ballot to have a city audit passes.. wont make the water thing any better, but it will make me happy.
forever is composed entirely of nows

Why bottles? I'm dumbfounded by the number of people who find boiling water to be an insurmountable obstacle.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Well, you have to fill up a pot with water and then heat it to a boil and then wait for it to cool down.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

We had HISTORIC flooding upstream of Austin. We were one more heavy rain from the highest water level EVER at Mansfield Dam, and possible historic flooding on Austin and Ladybird Lake. The water is *STILL* almost at street level at the Cesar Chavez pass under Lamar Bridge.

Having to be mildly inconvenienced while people's life and livelihood were washed away is just brutal. I feel SO bad for you.

Do you understand people died from this rainfall? You are whining about an inconvenience? Boo.Fucking.Hoo.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

Are you freezing the water rather than boiling it?
