Love how half of Texas doesn't have any building codes and the other half projects the most absurd ones.

I get that the city just wants this done ASAP. And yet, they send this letter that they'll enforce in 30 days, the homeowner may or may not know if they'll enforce, the city may not know if they'll enforce. What's the fucking point of this system? We're going to tell you half a lie, you're supposed to know which half is a lie, we'll not punish you if you guess correctly.

How about this: Defund the the fuckin lawmakers! 85% of people are generally happy with the state of their lives. So why in the hell are we electing jackasses that wanna overturn every law, scorched earth, arachy, rabble rabble!?! Just leave shit alone dickheads, its fine as it. We should be electing lawmakers running platforms of milquetoast apathy, wtf...

The headline from that link:

"to ferment is to cause a chemical change to food or drink, like turning grapes into wine, but to foment is to stir up trouble, like turning a group of people into an angry mob."

Fermenting is a fancy word for rotting. Fomenting is arousing or inciting. Neither have necessarily positive or negative connotations. One could ferment a tasty ale or a noxious concoction. One could foment civil disobedience or civil war.

I wouldn't say low-carb diets are pointless. Study after study has shown that if you're going to cut calories from your existing diet, you'll be healthier and less miserable if you cut carbs rather than fat. What's pointless is replacing carbs with fat without lowering your food intake, and expecting health benefits.
