So we live on top of a hydrant hydra?

It’s basically a mushroom. The hydrants are the fruit of the water network.

I positively will not!

It’s the Mystery Flesh Pit of Pokemon.

Woah that’s incredible

I remember this guy! First fallout game I played, my friend introduced it to me and let me borrow his disk for the PS3.

This is probably the first boss I’ve fought and in my memory it’ll always be an intense battle.

I can’t believe they amputated that diglets fingers

You’d be surprised how many of us simply never consider even the bare minimum of the mechanisms behind how things work.

I don’t entirely blame them, because the areas outside my knowledge you could wave your hands and I’d probably believe you if it’s too detailed or advanced for me to understand deeply, and things closer to my area I understand and question more.

Quantum physics is basically magic to me (I’m trying to think of another area where I’ve never considered how something works, I’m sure there are many areas where I’m a dunce, but alas, it’s hard to know the things you don’t know you don’t know). I’m totally happy with the physicists telling me: there’s some wibbily-wobbly magic happening down there, and thus, in most cases you’re going to come across, discrete electron energy levels 👍.

Thanks, I like your funny words magic man.

Though, in some cases, I think people’s lack of curiosity disturbing. I had someone once seriously tell me they thought we had sent spacecraft to other star systems 😬. because they heard been able to measure compositions of atmospheres. That was a formative experience for me at the age of 19. That despite someone going to 13 years of school, and getting into a decently competitive university, they didn’t know we haven’t sent spacecraft that far.

The mechanism I actually the whole thing. These ones are designed for cold climates where the pipes are buried deep so they don’t freeze. The valve is at the bottom so the vertical section can drain to prevent freezing

Note: I realize the tone of my writing could sound judgemental, but I’m just trying to be informative and answer the question above ♥️

Major utility/roadwork is being done. It’s not just the sidewalk that’s affected but also at least a lane of roadway. Likely the driveway to the road has a temporary gravel apron. Since this sidewalk has steps there’s no need for temporary ADA accommodations, which the homeowner would have negotiated with the local governing body before construction began. So if they need to walk somewhere they either walk in the grass or cross the road to walk in that sidewalk, if it exists. You can see the sidewalk has been torn up along with the asphalt

There should be more and better pedestrian access in the burbs. That being said, improvements happen in public easement, and it’s not always convenient. For anyone

Revenge.
