Flint finally replaced its lead pipes | The contamination in Flint, Michigan, sparked a national dialogue about the harms of lead pipes and the country’s aging water infrastructure.
  • 2077 seems pretty outrageous, but if we're talking replacement of every lead service line and meter connection in the city of Chicago, the logistics around a project of that magnitude are absurd and difficult to grasp. Even just the sheer number of replacements would be astronomical, let alone the logistics involved in performing the construction in some pretty cramped areas, including shutting down streets and businesses.

    Dunno about 2077, but I could see it taking at least a decade... They'd probably do it in phases, rather than one massive project, which could also stretch things out.

  • to my family this is just business as usual with extra manpower

    This is simply not true, and it's dangerous to pretend that it is. I'm not saying anything about how good or bad things have been for your family in the US.

    However, there is not been any time in the past, at least, 80 years that the US government has trafficked lawful permanent residents, green card holders, literal infants with terminal cancer, etc., to a mega prison in a country they've likely never been to and have never had a connection to. That's not "business as usual."

    Not, in at least 80 years (probably never), has a sitting president threatened to "deport" US citizens in any capacity, let alone for their political views. And, as we've all seen, these are not empty threats.

    Never have we had such a corrupt and compromised Supreme Court. Never has a political party in the US been so subservient to a single demagogue, to the point of complete deriliction of duty.

    I could go on and on... None of this is normal.

  • Steam Client Now Enables Proton by Default for Games without Native Linux Builds
  • You can set the compatibility for all games in the Steam settings. One of the options is "Proton Experimental" which updates automatically and will use the newest version without having to manually select it each time.

    That's what I'd like for GE-Proton.

  • Pangolin at Work #1
  • You're acting like you made a collage. You didn't. You typed a few words into a prompt, and an LLM used the work of other artists without their permission to spit something out.

    Just make a collage next time instead, it has actual artistic value.

  • GE-Proton 10-7 out now with fixes for Wuthering Waves, Anno 1800, Wine Wayland
  • Wait for real? How? Do you mean the flatpak of ProtonUp-qt?

    If so I'm already using both of those, but I have to open up the latter and update manually each time. I then have to manually change the compatibility settings to point to the new version.

  • Jury reaches verdict on 4 of 5 counts in Diddy trial but is told to keep deliberating
  • No, they can't do that and rightfully so. The man was accused of a crime, and therefore he was a right to a trial by a jury of his peers for each and every charge.

    Not only just for the purposes of future appeals, but simply because the US Constitution grants every person in the US that right.

  • Charlie Chaplin released The Great Dictator in 1939, and while Hitler banned the film in Nazi-controlled countries, he allegedly watched it more than once after Chaplin personally arranged to have a copy sent to him (the balls on that guy).

    Maybe not "death to Hitler," but it's fucking scathing, and the final speech would be considered extreme if it was released today.

    Fantastic film if anyone hasn't seen it. Hysterical, on point satire.
