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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, which the article does not say they’ve failed to do. In fact, the article says that the videos submitted as evidence seem to support its legal use not in Gaza, but near Lebanon, and that Human Rights Watch submitted no videos at all showing white phosphorus in Gaza.

The videos attached to the claim show it being used for smokescreens, which Reuters comments is legal.

Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.

Idk what to call the album, but Anakin’s lightsaber and Wu-Tang already have something on common

They’re for the children.

Idk what dicks you’re looking at, but that’s HUGE (in my personal experience)

Nope, by comparison 2mm sounds huge to me

It’s probably 6mm circumference, not length, which really changes things. That’s almost 2mm wide, which, in my experience, would be huuuge…

This is the move. You can cut/pull apart a cotton ball and put some in there so they don’t rattle around in there too

A classic pour over cone really just has to be rinsed hot after using if you’re using it every day, soap and sponge if an oily coffee leaves a residue over time. A metal or plastic v60 has no risk of breaking while rinsing too

It drains quickly if you grind typically, so you do have to stand over it for 2-3 minutes while you pour, though you have some breaks in there, so it’s easy to make toast or something at the same time.

Some flavors typical of drip will be weaker, like heavier and smoky or chicolatey notes, while others will be much stronger and richer, like caramel, fruit, tea, and what people call juiciness. The biggest draw, though, is the ability to customize every single part of the process, so you can find ways to recreate what you like from drip (be it by grinding finer, using less or hotter water, pouring quickly/slowly, etc.) and bring out notes that might get muted by a drip machine. That said, the added lighter notes with pour over definitely make most sense for black coffee or with just a dash of sugar, so if you like milk/creamer, drip might make more sense to stick with (no judgment, that’s why I have multiple options myself :)

“Sounds like a skill issue”

The small holes are probably more forgiving of grinding than pouring, so if you’re getting good results, I’d feel confident in your pouring with a different cone. People make a big deal about pouring technique, but as long as you’re relatively consistent and not entirely careless, a v60 is not the finicky monster it’s made out to be haha.

Hope the stir is great for ya, and happy pouring!
