Anyone who says that someone is gay "because it's trendy" is outing themselves. No straight person would ever imagine that could be a thing, because it's so self-evidently impossible to be attracted to the same sex if you're straight.

Whoosh

Sold in Japan.

Slack is buggy as hell though. There's one guy on my team who insists on video calls on slack "because it's easier, and we're already chatting on slack" and half the time it can't find my audio devices, or won't connect. We also use WebEx, which used to be terrible but got much better.

So they're not allowed to "produce a document such that it is not possible for Ofcom to understand the information it contains"? Why are they writing a law that requires all online content to be written at or below a third-grade reading level?

America has become so incompetent and corrupt that other countries need to be the adults and step in. Not a good look, Yankees.

And prison time. There's no excuse for betraying the public trust looked this.

You'd be better off just putting hydrogen farms in the ocean and shipping the products inland, given the energy density of hydrogen compared to sea water per unit mass. Much less wasted energy. For remote places with a plentiful renewable energy source but little clean water, it could be useful.

My house is 70 years old and the main shutoff valve for the water is leaky, so I'd like to add a new valve. It's regular 1/2" copper, which I'm usually comfortable working with, but the problem is that since the valve is leaky, I don't know if I can keep the pipe dry long enough to solder in a new valve downstream of it. I don't know if I want to use a sharkbite fitting for such an important location, since they seem to be unreliable in the long run. Copper compression fittings seem like the ideal solution here, but require an expensive power tool I don't have and which the hardware stores don't seem to rent out.

Am I missing an option here? Do I need to pay someone to come in and crimp a valve into place?
