WTF, a pipe broke and the water use needs to be dialed down a bit to conserve a bit while it gets fixed. The F some people need charts and graphics to understand that? Use less water, it's that simple. Apparently there is an entire army of redneck keyboard engineers ready to go, so I guess we have them to keep us informed 
Even more annoying is all the political nerds come out of the woodwork and once again we go on this stupid merry-go-round of left vs right, Gondek this Trudeau that, I can only imagine how r-word-ed some people get if they call a plumber to fix a leaking pipe. Are they standing over him ranting about politics? Christ. |
My neighbours just got back from Calgary. They asked me if I heard about the water situation, and then went on to tell me how weird their experience was asking people about it. Lots of “it’s all bull####, there’s no problem”, “it only affects one community in the north”, and a lot of general “fake news” vibes. They were pretty weirded out about the reactions. Sounded unsurprising.
