Maybe in addition to nuclear weapons, North Korea has also been developping soccer players?

Brazil, WTF?

I know lots of people who said that coming out of that movie.

I wonder if Brazil will adjust in the second half and come out stronger.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

nuclear-powered soccer players?

And, in wrong-headed grocery news, my aunt once told me about looking all over the store's produce section for phyllo (filo?) leaves.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Gah, I hate my water bill so much. This is how it breaks down:

City of Oakland Sewer Service: $44.48
Wastewater Treatment Charge: $21.96
SF Bay Residential Pollution Prevention: $0.40
Water Service Charge: $20.26
Seismic Improvement Program Surchage: $3.80
Water Usage Charge: $4.00
Total: $94.90

Are all water bills like this, or is EBMUD just ridiculous? Why I am continually paying for sewer service and wastewater treatment? I thought that's what taxes were for.

Bimonthly.

Because they keep providing it?

That's pretty typical for us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why I am continually paying for sewer service and wastewater treatment?

Are you using the sewers and generating waste water?
