We live in the safest time in human history by a margin so wide it's remarkable.

I asked! These are New Yorkers, we have good water.

To your point though, there was an issue with lead in schools and in NYCHA that may be at play here.

And:

- "bad parts from vendor" - "bad programming on torque wrench from MRP" - "insufficient training on process" - "tooling was programmed correctly but bad sensors" - "lube mislabeled for 3 days"

This is absolutely not some simple thing. This is why people don't take us seriously as engineers.

There's a class thing to this - everyone I know who's working class refuses to drink tap water. Even if they're on a perfectly good system, it's 100% bottled water or soda all the time.

Was told that "tap water is for broke people"

Ridiculous. Deeply unserious stuff

Reminds me of the THE WHALES WILL DIE offshore wind suits. No, they won’t- but they will at 3C of warming

Hate living in a vetocracy.

Not a fan. Wikipedia should be a truly neutral actor - regardless of situation. Once this starts, it won't stop, and it will start to burn the NPOV.

This doesn't actually happen, it's only possible when there's a sexual component.

You hear the concept a lot, because it's a cover - "I'm on the sex offenders list, but I was just peeing. Didn't realize it was a playground, whoops!" is different from the true "I raped a girl, and despite the incredibly high burden of proof in that charge I was convicted, and now I have to tell you about it because I moved next door."

Isn't that approximately a wire?
