Do we really have a hamming-distance-based slur detector? Can people not discuss brain fog?
I use at least 100 gallons on my lawn daily :grillman:
high fucking noon to the beginning of the evening? what the hells the point of a reg that puts water on the ground at close to the highest the sun gets? :why-angel:
sensible places put rules exactly opposite this with a restriction around high noon :jesse-wtf:
i just thought you'd confused a/pm tbh. im too dumb to get jokes, all my oxygen goes straight back out my body cuz i'm yodeling 24/7
Joking aside in my area idk the irrigated acreage of residential vs commercial but when there were water restrictions here, it only ever affected residential as in SFH.
Well that's not really surprising because NYC doesn't have farms, which are the biggest water users.

If it worked for them, it can work for us.
And yet Americans keep moving there in big numbers. I'm not a doomer most of the time, but anyone living in Arizona has every reason to be. That state is not making it to the end of this century.
I'd be shocked if there isn't any mass migration out of there by 2050
Knowing how that state operates, its only a matter of time before they try to do some neoliberal brain genius move like fully privatizing the water system. When it costs $100 to water your lawn, the city will implode.
:walter-shock: tfw you build a massive city of several million people in the middle of a desert with no water to work at alfalfa farms for export and you suddenly have no water
