Whoa whoa whoa, this is definitely for distilling water.
I would never consider distilling anything illegal with this pinkey promise

Please, only plebes go for the pallet.
If you really want to maximize your per berry savings, then you need to buy the dockside warehouse package.
Neat. I didn’t know any services like this existed.
Should I be wary of using this while logged in to my Microsoft account?
If that’s really how that works, then I can see why the expense has been kicked down the line so long. I worry this allocated money won’t be enough then and that we’re probably talking “show” money vs “getting things done” money.
Yeah, but every dollar spent on repaving roads is a dollar that can’t be spent on lead pipes.
I suppose the example I’ve provided is flawed in a sense though. Probably a better example would be that an intersection gets torn up to replace pipes, but the local town council insists on using his brother’s asphalt company. “They might cost twice as much for the repavong, but I promise, it’ll be higher quality” kinda junk.
Like, it feels like this should be the kind of money to put a real dent in the problem…but I worry that the corruption of local governments and the associated contractors will probably soak up a lot of this on tangential things (e.g. lead pipes crosses under this really old road at one point; guess we’ll need to tear up the road for 10 miles in each direction of the cross under point and then repave the whole thing, just to be sure)
Edit: modifying example for clarity.
Wow, I think that is an instant winner for the annual “most dogshit excuse for cops to do a thing” award.
This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Probably the Columbia University protests. I expect this means someone was arrested for having a bike lock (which can be used as a bludgeon).
And I would argue that this is different than if a soldier kills someone.
Like, when you kill as a soldier, generally the other person is trying to kill you (or you can at least tell yourself that afterwards. When you’re an executioner…well let’s just say they are known for wearing hoods for a reason.
25 per year (call it one every two weeks?) really doesn’t seem that high, esp with their wording of “non-stop executions”.
Guess that really speaks to how messed up these execution methods are.
As I type this, I can’t help but wonder how the mass executions during the French Revolution affected people’s psyche (seems like a well built guillotine would be able to go through closer to 25 executions per day). Anyone have info on that?
Medieval setting plus the similar sounds of “Bannerlord” and “Manor Lord”.
I realize that was a total mistake to assumed that now.
Good to know!
Good to know, thanks for the feedback!
Is this just a Mount and Blade: Banner Lord ripoff? Kinda sounds that way?
Au contraire Mon ami, I think the community has mistaken what I mean (probably my fault, I didn’t think my original comment through very thoroughly and accept responsibility if I communicated it poorly).
I mean to imy that Biden has made good choices in his appointments, but that his ability to speak and his general lack of charisma are the reason he’s not trumping Trump (pun intended) in the polling for the upcoming election.
I would define Trump as a strong, but bad, leader due to his charisma and ability to take ownership for his people’s actions (even if he takes “liberties” in defining who “his people” are). In my workplace, I would want someone who speaks highly of the actions of me and my team.
I don’t see that from Biden.
As such, I would not describe Biden as a strong leader, but with the caveat that “Good” and “strong” exist on independent axes of the “leadership chart”.
I would argue that what you’ve described is a good leader.
To me a strong leader is someone who gets out front of their team and acts as a strong face for their team. That means that the team is getting all the accolades and recognition for their good work, that is keenly running damage control for their mistakes, and that is talking up their team at all points.
I feel Biden is failing as that strong leader.
Unless you’re chronically online, you probably aren’t aware of the recent actions of the NLRB nor of some of the other wins the people Biden appointed over the term of his presidency. He’s not out there blasting some of the absolute W’s his team has gotten, and I think that’s showing in the lackluster polling Biden is getting atm.
The implication of what I’ve said that I want to be clear on: a strong leader isn’t necessarily a good leader, nor is a good leader necessarily a strong leader.
The downvotes I’m getting says the wider community disagrees with this assessment, and in my mind that is what it is. I feel that not recognizing this distinction makes one more inclined to overlook how their voting peers can be swayed towards strong but bad leaders (e.g. Trump) and will thusly make said person less able to influence their voting peers to change their vote.
See, I’m almost convinced that it isn’t even Biden. Like, Biden is not a strong leader at all…and I think that’s been a great thing (at least for domestic policy).
It feels like he’s gotten out of the way of the competent people who actually “run the show” in all the myriad departments of government and just let them do their thing.
Upvoting for admitting you were wrong in your edit.
I wish more of the internet acted that way.
