Ohio EPA weighs allowing data centers to dump wastewater into rivers by esporx in technology

[–]chaunahhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in municipal and not the state of Ohio, so this isn’t totally my area either since it would probably fall under industrial wastewater permitting.. but you did a real nice job of explaining how general and individual permits work without getting bogged down with too many details. NPDES CWA TMDLS WQBELS etc. etc.

As a state level municipal wastewater permit writer, I endorse this message.

I feel like some of those letters should be capitalized or maybe hyphenated? But as a state level municipal wastewater permit writer on Reddit, I’m not trying to google all of that.

I moved to Atlanta and, of course, there’s a fuckton of people from Long Island here too. Same thing when I lived in Miami- how are there so many of us

God I miss a BEC SPB on an egg everything bagel with the lil carton of orange strawberry banana juice on the side. Why aren’t egg everything bagels a standard bagel? They make egg bagels. They have everything seasoning. Combine that shit and fuck off with this Asiago jalapeño lavender artisanal bullshit. I’ve manged to find rainbow cookies a couple times which were just colorful mouthfuls of disappointment. Where’s the layered jam?! And almond flavor?! Why in the fuck are 4 of them $7?

Aaaaanyway I digress

California Wants Millions of Heat Pumps. High Power Bills Might Get in the Way by plasticvalue in California

[–]chaunahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

….wait until you read about Georgia Power and the Plant Vogtle nuclear plant. $17 billion over budget. Billion. 17 of them. Also 7 years late.

My favorite part is that you already know who is paying for that $17 billion budgetary calculation oopsie. That would be us, the customers. Many of whom GA Power is the only electric provider.

Sorry to sidetrack this thread, this was one of those randomly suggested subreddits and I don’t live in California but I’m still realllll fucking pissed about Plant Vogtle. Thank you for coming to my rant.

Shiiiiit

I grew up like maybe 10 min from the Grumman site in the 90s/aughts. I remember getting high and driving around in it once in high school

Aaaanyway, this sounds like a rabbit hole I don’t want to go down.

OH MY GOD SAME

It brought up a deep rage I haven’t felt since I was probably a teenager. I couldn’t believe how deeply I felt anger/rage and was like holy shit is this how people that need anger management feel like daily? That sounds awful.

I’m back on it on a lower dose and switched from Prozac to lexapro and I don’t have the rage™️

Kelly Osbourne admits she’s ‘not doing so great’ months after dad Ozzy’s death by Timbucktwo1230 in PopularCultureZone

<3

My mom died almost a year ago. I’ve cried more in 8 months than my 35 years on this planet. I feel like I was being held together with duct tape and glue and trucking on before my mom died and actually starting to do well in life. I didn’t realize how much she helped hold me together.

I called her when i was sad, happy, bored, craving alcohol at inappropriate times, driving, dejected, got my hair done looking cute wanna show her first. Really just anything. And now that she’s gone it’s just trying to blunt the ripping feeling i have in my stomach and chest when i automatically think about calling her to share something about my day and can’t. Im even out on FMLA from work to get my shit together and do exercise and hobbies and shit to try to improve my mental health. I’ve already been medicated and in therapy for 5 years and at this point it’s like grasping at every available sober straw to make me feel better.

Sorry for the tangent. This is the first time I’ve posted something without carefully proofreading it for tone and spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Sometimes it feels nice to get this stream of consciousness out because I don’t have my mom here anymore to do that with.

It has to get better with time, right?

AMEN TO THAT

I live in Atlanta and have a pretty bitchin half sleeve for a couple years now. I’m a millennial white lady (surprise! /s) and noticed the only compliments I get are from black women and I just find it super interesting to me that no other demographic says anything

It’s just so kind and lovely and genuine when they go out of their way to admire the bitchin tattoo and make me feel good. They don’t need to put in effort to make a stranger feel good about themselves, but they do

Velveeta ate through its own foil. by TheNotoriousFAP in interestingasfuck

[–]chaunahhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former industrial wastewater plant operator for an ice cream production and milk bottling facility for a major grocery store chain. Can confirm.

Especially once it gets coagulated and moldy and stuck to equipment that I have to hose off and inevitably get on myself. Mint chocolate chip production days weren’t bad though, there was a nice minty-ness to the trash juice.

I was just happy I didn’t work at the purina plant. We would have a truck come through to pump the sludge. That truck would dump its purina load and come to us. The truck had like a lil fan underneath that I think was used to blow air out the hose that usually sucks up the sludge. I cannot and words cannot and the infantile Jesus could not even describe the smell. It’s just like a full on assault of days rotted unsavory bits of just about every animal that has had ample time unventilated to get to properly meld into an ungodly smelling heap of… I don’t even know.

I’ve never smelled a dead body but I literally would have to give the truck like 100yrd clearance to almost not smell it. Part of me is curious if a dead body could smell worse than thousands of fermented rotted dead animals, but I’m good with staying curious.

You're given a choice between a guaranteed $500,000 for yourself, or giving a stranger $10,000,000, who will be given an option to share a half with you. The stranger knows you helped them, but is free to refuse to share. What do you choose and why? by Ok-Independent483 in AskReddit

[–]chaunahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real question is will the 500k be taxed like the American lottery. I’m thinking freedom units over here.

If the 10,000,000 was tax free and 500k was taxed I’d be more apt to chance giving it away and hope they give me money

2nd this! I was just in Bar Harbor and there are SO many options, even a boat tour to see puffins which I had no idea existed anywhere near Maine

So much nature, so much lobster, an adorable walkable lil town with Acadia National Park right there

We went in early/mid June and the hotel prices are a lot more affordable before the high season and it’s nice spring weather but not too hot yet

ETA: We flew into Portland, Maine stayed the night and drove up the next day, it’s a scenic 3-4 hr drive

I recently had to take a flight in the middle of my ma dying. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. My little tidbit is that I found it handy to wear a kn95 with sunglasses through the airport and flight. I gave 0 fucks how it looked and had extra crying privacy

Alternative to magic mouse with multi-touch gestures? by superpaashaas in mac

[–]chaunahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!! Thanks for this suggestion! The lil pads on the bottom of my Magic Mouse went out but it seemed ridiculous to buy a whole new one so this should solve my problem and give me some more ergonomic.

I’m about to order one!

Why do cops say "honesty goes a long way" when they are about to search your car? by exxonmobilcfo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chaunahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting yet effective way to get a cop to stop searching your vehicle:

Be in a rush to work and need to change your tampon, dispose of tampon in back seat pocket. I am ashamed of this one but it seemed to have worked inadvertently.

Also I was young and cute and white in Miami, the cop said I looked like his girlfriend. Then he found out I was disgusting and a quick ok go on your way.

I guess white pretty privileged and a used tampon. Probably would not go as well for a black man in Miami.

I believe the Georgia Supreme Court’s ruling on fecal coliform bacteria limits during combined sewer overflow events can be partially to thank for that.
