City of San Diego will soon be piping reclaimed wastewater into the bottom of Miramar Lake. This lake supplies drinking water to my area. You can't swim in it, or allow your dog to go into it, but dumping thousands of gallons of reclaimed piss into it is just fine.

That's every fresh water system. Houston drink all of DFWs waste water.

And yet they run storm drains miles to the ocean because it's "contaminated". I would much rather drink rain runoff than recycled piss. I know, I know, it's all reclaimed piss. I just prefer it a little farther removed.
 
This is right up there with not being allowed to dump snow into bodies of water. But dumping it on land that drains into those bodies of water is OK.
 
I've had a couple visits from the DEQ. Guy was nice, there regulations are clownish.

If we drop and break a 50# bag of sidewalk salt, that is a reportable spill. As in we are supposed to call them.

But if I put it in a spreader and put it down on a sidewalk, all is good.

I'm not allowed to wash my trucks at my shop...unless I pay the $175 tax that allows me to wash them at my shop.

I jumped right on that one.

And on the flip side, we responded to a semi crash on "our" highway one time, one or both of his fuel tanks were leaking into a swamp. Whoops, wetlands.

Chief has dispatch call DEQ. They ask some questions and tell the dispatcher to tell us to "just handle it". We did. No skeeters from that swamp that year.

What's funny is the people that work at the SD water dept work drink tap water. They have drinking water vending machines at all the service yards.

I work in the water and sewer department in my area. I'm currently drinking water from a water cooler because our pipes are shit in the building.


The shittiest car at the shop is always the mechanic's right?

The cobbler has no shoes... etc

Canadian clown/ness kinda seems to be part of the core theme of this thread, sure sucks not being separated from it.
My clown input today is quad tires, puny fawkn 25” tall 11” rim hold all fukn 4 in one arm, cheapest price for an average tire is around $700plus shipping and tar taxes n levies and don’t fergit the queens fawkn share, for kick in the nuts reality that’s around a fukn grand converted to yer ameribux!
Then gotta give some goober a $50 case of 24 beer to mount them
Good gawd dam that’s the same as it was fer 35” Hankook muds on my f350

It's like the graph thing that Elon Musk had...he stayed where he was but the "left" has moved so far over the past 5 years much less 20 years, he's considered on the right now.

Can you imagine JFK nowadays? He couldn't fit in the Dem party anymore.
