The funny part is that Washington was originally going to be admitted as Columbia but they thought it would be too confusing because of the District of Columbia.

Windows will get broken immediately, then rain / weather / rodents and squatters will move in. A boarded window is harder to open without more effort or tools.

Completely false that modern cough medicine is “99%” sugar. Maybe don’t give any kind of medical advice over the internet?

Sucrose, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Benzoate, Alcohol 5% v/v. Each 15mL dose contains 5.55g Sucrose. This should be taken into account by diabetics.

We’re all waiting on the poop knife explanation

Wow that’s complicated. But it makes a lot of sense

I was only an apprentice plumber so any pros can check my answer.

That being said, the company I worked for did only service work, that being only repairs or R&R's when something couldn't be fixed or cleaned out, such as drains.

1/2 of my work in the first 6 months was clearing drains, either by plunger, auger, or taking apart pipes.

I never particularly noticed if a drain had been treated with chemicals, but my company taught me not to use them and to recommend them because they damaged the interior of the pipes leading to further problems such as waste sticking to the scarred inside of the pipe, or even damage that required replacement if the drains at some point.

Nothing was specified to apply only to copper or brass or ABS or PVC, so I can't be more specific about that.

>but any "brown liquor"

yup, I use a cheaper brandy for this.. same stuff I keep in the the kitchen cabinet for cooking. Paul Masson Grande Amber VSOP in my case.. best bang for the buck around if you want something with four years of oak aging. It's smooth enough to drink straight although not comparable to something like Hennessey or Remy which can easily cost 3-4x as much.

Even my second choice, a whisky like Wild Turkey or Four Roses costs a few bucks more.

You're thinking with the mindset of a company that needs to save $50 so that it can make rent at the end of the month, and wasting valuable time and effort scrambling to scrounge up money.

Large companies looking to increase revenue can't operate like that. If they're going to penny pinch then that oversight alone to micromanage the expenses of the company with thousands of employees would probably cost more than the money it saves.

And not only that, lower the productivity of the entire company as everyone puts in weekly effort to justify every cent, instead of doing their actual work.

Management commits money for the budget it invests into the company and as far as they're concerned, it's spent.

They don't care about penny pinching to get back $500k of their $500 million budget. They're more concerned on whether spending that $500k could have raised their revenue by another $100 million and the only way to know is to spend it. A healthy company drives forward to maximize revenue, not look backwards to save a few cents.

In addition to tax reasons, and maintenance reasons, it can also be a cashflow solution. If you own a million dollar building, then that million dollars is "stuck" there. If you sell the million dollar building, then lease the space back for fifty thousand a year, you have 950k to spend on buying new equipment, hiring new people, paying salaries, etc.

Even better, as others have said, if you only need part of the building, you can pay less in rent since the new building owner can collect rent from other tenants.

It is also a great way to reduce how much the company owns, and how much it owes, which makes it easier to be acquired by a larger company (such as Paramount).

Note that this also can be done if the value of the property changes significantly.

I'm not sure it matters, really. I use lime more than I use lemon when I make a hot toddy for myself (still citric acid with vitamin c). Some things are just "the way it's always been done" and not necessarily better or worse, probably due to availability and pricing in the past.

Ok, and?

My worst job ever was mediating management meetings where they'd argue about why expenses were put under their department.

Dehydration is a big part of it, but so is the general breakdown of alcohol in the body. The alcohol breaks down into some harsh compounds like acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, then it breaks down into acetic acid.
Acetic acid is fine, it's the same stuff in vinegar.. the problem is the middle part. The common reaction to those two is sweating, skin flushing, vomiting, and nausea.
Combine it with water loss from drinking other things than water, throwing up, or peeing more, and then add in the two compounds and it's a painful morning.

If you got a fat/grease buildup in a kitchen sink boiling water works. A plunger won't move a fatburg, but given enough time the continued addition of piping hot water will heat the PVC enough to both expand the diameter and melt the fat glued the walls of the pipe.

Of course... Don't dump grease down your sink.

There are wave pools where they test scale ships in. You can find demonstrations where they create quilt like patterns using this principle.

Phineas Gage (late 1800s) gave us a great input into this question. He got a pole stuck through his head and survived. However, his personality changed significantly after the event. It's considered a landmark case study in how mind and brain are deeply connected.

Indeed. Water was notoriously unhealthy in many parts of the world, causing severe illness and death. But beer requires boiling the water first, removing said bacteria. It also contributed to creative and inventive thinking. The pyramids, math, modern agriculture, factories, all from beer. There’s a Discovery TV series called How Beer Saved The World that I highly recommend.

Is it literally "Illegal" or just against the terms of the agreement with the credit card processor?

And then in 1985, Georgetown was abolished.

> ...all general laws, ordinances, and regulations of the City of Washington are extended and made applicable to that part of the District of Columbia formerly known as the City of Georgetown. The title and existence of said Georgetown as a separate and independent city by law is abolished. Nothing in this section shall operate to affect or repeal existing law making Georgetown a port of entry, except as to its name.

And current law:

> The District of Columbia is the successor of the corporations of Washington and Georgetown, and all the property of said corporations, and of the County of Washington, is vested in the District of Columbia.

https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/1-104.html

And per the Secretary of the District of Columbia, in 2014:

> “We refer to it as Washington, D.C., but the legal name is the District of Columbia,” Brock-Smith says.
