Which is exactly why federal funds are necessary for it rather than local. The places that need this most tend to be those with the least money for local infrastructure, but if the money doesn't have to come from the cash-strapped local budget, that's not an issue.

Projects are already underway and have replaced our two lagest lead service lines in the medium-small Illinois city where I live via federal funding over the last year. City literally just applied for the funds from this same program and hired private contractors once the funds were approved. About 3 months of construction on each of the 2 roads under which our main service lines run, and now lead has been fully removed from 60% of residents water supply, with the last 40% to occur over the next 18 months.

It's been pretty simple.

Are you on Android? I am not seeing a 1.0.153 update available, still on 152.

What is a single thing about Twitter that has gotten better? Selling my Tesla for an electric Mustang was the best choice I've made in a while.

I don't give really a shit about him, but from the dropoff in Twitter's usage and value to production and publicity issues at Tesla and cutting off the Ukraine army's access to Starlink, it seems there's, well, a lot to hate about him. And like he might not be that good at his job.

At the scale of war, something purpose-built like this is helpful because it's customized and standardized for exactly what they want it to do. But if it would really be that helpful for individual acts of terror, I think we'd have seen rudimentary versions by now. If terrorists haven't been using RC cars or rovers already, I don't think this is enough of a jump in tech to make them start.

Just get a pin you can wear that says "I'm crazy." It will be much easier.

In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

So apparently, it's true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don't)

A lot of people already know this, I'm sure, but it's a bit counterintuitive, and here's hoping it helps any beginners scrolling through.

This is particularly the case for pour over and drip coffee. I long assumed that an astringent flavor/feeling, sorta mouth-drying and unpleasantly mouth-watering at the same time, with a biting aftertaste, was a result of over-extraction, since it can feel sorta similar to bitterness. With that, it seemed to make sense to grind coarser, which obviously didn't help.

In the end, going significantly finer brought a much fuller and sweeter extraction, minimizing the astringency without increasing bitterness at all.

A caveat, of course, astringency can indeed come from over-extraction, so this isn't a guarantee. If you're already coarse, try finer. But if you're grinding super fine, the opposite might go for you/those beans.

TL;DR: if you are having issues with astringency, it might be intuitive to go for a lighter extraction with a coarser grind, but try going finer for richer flavor instead.

 

Title basically says it. Connect offers all of the functions I'd chosen Boost for on Reddit, and there are pretty few bugs for me. Nice job folks.

 

Hey folks, and many apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. Upgrading the RAM on my laptop will be my first ever PC parts purchase and upgrade of any kind, and I have no idea what I'm doing after looking through parts options. I am wondering how I can know if a given RAM stick will fit in and work with the P15, and if anyone has any options on where I should buy it from. Thanks so much in advance and sorry for such a rookie question.

 

I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I'm lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where's the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.
