I assume that’s :thejoke:


Also, pilgrims, in the older meaning, are people who go on pilgrimages. That is, people who undertake journeys to sites of religious significance for spiritual purposes.

It's bullshit that state employees only get holiday comp time when this falls on a weekday.

Serious answer, PSM/RMP is a weird regulation in that:

1. It's insanely expensive to comply with
2. Is responsible for a massive percentage of fines and penalties doled out by EPA
3. EPA and OSHA can hit you for the same non compliance
4. Requirements are written such that standards get progressively more strict as technology improves and no new rule needs to be written and approved for you to be subject to the new safety technology

Given all that, industry would be pissed if you removed the rule because it helps them benchmark risk and forces local emergency managers to actually pay attention to the potential risks facilities pose to the community (and train on them)

GreyjoyBastard posted:

That fertilizer plant wasn't subject to RMP due to initial carveouts when the rule was written, which is why they got away with no fire sprinklers and didn't have to inform local emergency responders about the risks

Does it require me to hand-deliver the application during working hours? It looks like that is the case in Denton County. They also require an in-person test.

Edit: Because of where I live, I think I need to get Denton, Collin, and Dallas county for maximum effectiveness.

He summed up one of his opponents like this: “He’s a Korean,” said Miller, describing Jacey Jetton, a former chairman of the Fort Bend GOP. “He has decided because, because he is an Asian that my district might need an Asian to win. And that’s kind of racist in my mind, but anyway, that’s not necessary, at least not yet.”

Yes Jacey Jetton definitely sounds like the racist in this scenario

My sample is Bonnen, candidly on a secret tape recorded conversation, telling MQS that Trump is -15 in Garland. Now, I have full faith in the Democratic party to somehow gently caress this up, but every piece of evidence available to us indicates that Trump is insanely unpopular in the suburbs, especially among college-educated women.
