Reply to comment by biscovery in Lawsuit claims mini bottles of Fireball Cinnamon don’t actually contain whisky by TheAngryBlackGuy

People that want to drink all night and brag about finishing off a bottle themselves, people that like the taste and don’t need the buzz to get all the way to falling down drunk, people that can’t be bothered to mix a drink and don’t want to do shots of straight liquor, etc. See there’s no accounting for taste - just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean that no one should. No one I’ve ever known is buying Fireball because they want a half decent whiskey or even a shitty flavored whiskey. They buy it because it’s cheap and easy.

Reply to Austin aims to address systemic racism, equity with new walk and bike trail plans by gaytechdadwithson

Not oniony. Systemic racism has influenced the widespread de-prioritization of communities of color when it comes to public spending, especially on amenities like green spaces and other infrastructure. If you think this headline is oniony then you probably don’t understand the difference between racism and systemic racism

Reply to comment by dominus_aranearum in Woman on Way to Work Abruptly Swallowed by Long Island Lawn — Then 2 More Fall In by ChocolateTsar

Yeah, it's all conjecture as of now.

My uninformed but kinda smort guess is that it was a quick, massive failure before the meter, or possibly with irrigation that was on an off meter well (a common setup here). Long Island, being a sandbar, gives way to water pretty easily, so it would be quick work for a 1.5" high pressure main to excavate that cavity. I once saw very large main at a horse farm that left a crater big enough to hide a school bus in the ~30 seconds it took to shut down. If this was a normal residential main running all night, this size hole is totally possible. Because it's a grass yard, and a frozen one at that, the grass roots holds up the top 6" and viola, you have a hidden deathtrap.

If I'm right, her sand got pushed down into the water table, or gushed out all over her yard on the edges.
