Sadly, nevermore.

It's because everything at work runs off of alternating current.
If they ever switch to direct current, you'd better hope they do it on one of your good days.

Send it to Petite's work, addressed to The Free Table.

Send the paperwork over to PTJ, so he can claim the refund and have something to pay the taxes that T**k didn't take out on the money they paid him.
Attach a note saying the paperwork is from the 'Sunshine Committee'.

I think it's pretty clear to me.
Maxx sent the drones, and he's posting this stuff to divert attention elsewhere. 

You may have to sanitize your water system before anyone uses the water for drinking or cooking.  If there's sediment in the pipes the system isn't or wasn't sealed against the entry of bacteria. 
I'd suggest talking to your maintenance staff about - once this is all over - about opening up the flush valves on your toilets and urinals to clean out any sediment.  Sediment can prevent the valves from operating or closing properly, wasting water, or it can chew up the surfaces meaning you'll have to replace them all the sooner.
If your school has a boiler or hot water system, I'd suggest talking with your maintenance staff about keeping the sediment out of that system or making sure any filters or strainers are cleaned and checked frequently. 

That's what I would call a   "cheeky"   response.
But it does shed some light on where the name 'Buff'Jim came from.

Did RE mean to spell 'but' with one 't', or with two?
 
 

This should make you feel 'better'...
 

 

Congratulations! 
 
You come across on the Forum as pretty much the same, so it's easy to see why you get along so well!
 
 

I think we should lighten up on the moderators.  Comments of late seem to have become somewhat more sharp.
They make judgment calls, which means there's no set formula because everyone's judgment is a bit different.  On rare occasion they may remove a thread preemptively or they may make a mistake.  If that occurs I would suggest our understanding and forgiveness should reflect that we realize that all humans err and the bounds within which moderating occurs are not absolute.
On the whole they keep this place enjoyable for a group of people who have a wide range of viewpoints.  Conflict is essentially non-existent; I would dare say what conflict does exist here is at a far lower level that what you might find in most 'real' families.
The pay stinks, there's no glory, little thanks, and of late increasing criticism.
Most of us have been here long enough to have a good sense of the tone and temper of the Forum, so we should be familiar with what subjects and comments are likely to merit action in the eyes of a moderator.  There should be few surprises and on the whole I think that's the case.
I would suggest there are three options for those who find this site over-moderated: understand the moderators are doing the best they can, volunteer to be a moderator, or find a site that meets your expectations for moderating.  I have no concerns if people want to express concerns about threads being moderated, but I would make the appeal that such concerns be expressed with a measure of grace and with appreciation for what the moderators try to do.

With his experience, I bet Whataburger puts him in charge of making the milkshakes.

Dear Razor,
Please tell your multiple personalities that replying to each other, especially within the same thread, gives other Forumites the impression that you are replying only to yourself.  Regretfully, this is considered a breach of etiquette.  Please gently instruct your personalities that manners are important in the general discourse of the Forum, and that we are here to help them learn and understand how important this is.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you, with my sincere apologies to any of the personalities I neglected to thank.

It's not as much fun as you might think.
 
Yes, it is.
Shut up you twit!
Quiet, you two!  You'll wake up all the other guys.

Torquing your abutment sounds like something a proctologist would do, not a dentist...

Oh for goodness sake!
I was single at the time, just out of college, working my first job in a new area.  I bought a titled-as-junk, high-mileage, cobbed-up-smashed-and-crashed-body-repaired unpopular car that everybody snickered at even when it was new,
and I took it apart and fixed it.
It's what engineers do. 
And even if the car hadn't been broken in the first place - I would have taken it apart and fixed it anyway.
 

I would suggest three of these:

 
 
and three of these:

 
Let's assume there are 2x4 wood studs in the wall, as would be for typical construction.  (You could ask your maintenance people to confirm.)
Put the eye hooks in at the three different heights you want.  Clip one carabiner into each eye hook.  When you want to use that particular height, open the carabiner and slip the resistance band in, and close the carabiner.
Use the closed eye screw hooks, not the open ones.  You don't want the bands or carabiners slipping off the open eye hook and clipping you in the back of the head.
 
Another variation:
Closed eye hook up high, a second closed eye down low.
Get a piece of chain slightly longer than the distance between the two hooks.  Clip a carabiner to the top of the chain, and one to the bottom.  Then clip the carabiners into the eye hooks.  
Hook a third carabiner through any chain link, and run the resistance band through that third carabiner too.
Now instead of three heights you'd have at least six for every foot of chain.
A note of caution with this approach: Make the chain a bit slack between the two screw eyes.  As you pull on the resistance bands, a tight chain will multiply the tension on the screw eyes toward the middle where the band is attached.  This will tend to bend the screw eyes or pull them out of the wall.  Install the chain so it makes a slight 'V" when you pull on the resistance bands, and this will cut down on the tension exerted on the screw eyes when you pull on the bands.
 
 

So....
I'm going to guess homemade jalapeno/tomato vanilla bourbon extract?
Without beans?

Maybe the menage a cinq cent cinquante-et-un is just what's needed to bring them back...

This is what you get when feelings and hope take precedence over reason and reality.  With deference to Wilbur, that's a bit different than logic vs. stupidity.
I don't know how anyone could justify this, other than to completely ignore the question put to them.  And I believe we will see this type of behavior more frequently in the upcoming months.
 
Government officials are recognizing the public more and more is ignoring the guidelines and mandates anyway.  The CDC director recently said part of the reason for reducing the covid isolation time from 10 to 5 days was “It really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate.” 
I think, too, that government officials are finally recognizing that the tools they have relied upon aimed at eliminating or reducing the spread have not proven as effective as they wished or as they pronounced.  The public is weighing the claims vs. the reality they see.  The tools officials used from the beginning of the pandemic did not stop the last variant and did not appear to much slow the rapid spread of the latest variant.  Which is what the public expects in return for the efforts, changes, and sacrifices they have made and continue to make.  I suppose one might say it would have been worse without the guidelines and mandates, but that's a 'what if' that's hard to prove to the public.
These sorts of things, understandably, are uncomfortable for some people to hear. Those who say such things become unpopular, attracting to themselves sideways glances and labels such as 'anti-vaxxer' and 'anti-science' - whether said out loud or not.
In the end, if you look back and look closely you can see the patterns repeating and other patterns emerging, which in turn will help one set expectations on the probabilities of where the eventualities will pan out.

I would say a prima donna is someone who undeservedly holds a high opinion of herself or himself and inflicts that opinion on those nearby to everyone's annoyance and discomfort.
A diva is someone like Zephyr.
