I get what u mean but the DoD will pay for out of state abortions without a medical need they are one of the better aspects of medical care and coverage in the US and are closer to what we all should have. It's regular folks that don't get reproductive care specifically in red states.

Looking up the origins of that term is a quick, slightly intriguing read. In past tense you can say somebody pissed-off (went away) and it have nothing to do with your own emotion.

But the act of telling someone to piss off, is indeed typically connected to being angry with said person. Oh, English.

You also have to consider the volumes of water needed by drought stricken areas like the US southwest.

California uses 1.8 million barrels of oil per day.

California uses about 91 gallons of water per day per person. That translate into 84.5 million barrels a day.

​

The construction costs, and engineering required to moved THAT volume of water across the country make it completely unfeasible.

It absolutely is. There will be lots of people on the trail as well as several pleasure boats tied up along the wharf. But if you're uncomfortable at any point, you can just walk along the sidewalk on North Shore Drive. And if you're really tuckered out, there are also pedicabs that run between PNC and the casino.

I know it doesn’t mean “I’m going to arbitrarily ignore other definitions of the word to focus on an outdated and/or narrowly used definition”

Again the use of battery to denote a singular object is well established and 100% valid. You can’t ignore the most common usage to try and create a false oxymoron. That’s like saying “Well if you ignore all the points the other team scored, technically I won, even though the final score was 100-1 then”.
