I got 4 shots in total and while I always lived my life like normal I think a 5th isn’t in my future. I don’t know the last time someone I knew was positive and even if they were it’s apparently not as contagious or severe by a significant margin. Maybe I’ll keep getting a booster with my flu shot but that’d be about it.

As always when it comes to these fixes, who's gonna pay for it?

You could raise the price of water to try and force people.... and then get slaughtered in the next election cycle. And that assumes you *can* force people. You can't. People don't have water leaks for fun, it's because they don't have the money to fix them. Or their apartment owners who don't care because they make the renter pay.

Looks like a regular charter bus here, too. I'm not sure if there's a regulation about the hammers here. Could be. And maybe none of them ever noticed them or knew what they were. Pretty conspicuous: bright red, hammer-shaped, molded grip with a handguard, ground steel point; I just took it for granted people knew what they were. I think there's usually a decal in the corner with a pictogram showing where you should hit it. It's been a while since I was on a bus

Edit: correcting the autocorrect

Sure, it’s just a matter of how long it takes to filter through and return to the aquifer.

It can take years or centuries, depending on what the water has to filter through among other variables like capillary action.

If you want to use the water in the near future, it’s best to not let it return to the aquifer.

I know the UK and Germany are different, but when I went to a DoDEA school in the UK, our busses were not the same as the other school busses / busses used in the area. It was many moons ago, but we had a charter bus for high school. But neither our middle school nor high school bus had a little hammer to use, just emergency doors.

I’m assuming theirs didn’t either it they may not have known.
