Maybe in addition to nuclear weapons, they've also been developping soccer players?

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

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.

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.

That's monthly P-C?

Bimonthly.

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

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?

No, I know that. Like I said: I thought that's what taxes were for.

You pay city water taxes? I don't. Paying for sewer in addition to water is bog-standard. I mean, taxes could cover water too, right? But don't.
