Yeah, it’s all up to the lawyers now. Never forget, a good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge.

Malicious compliance: build free gasoline/diesel pumps but they dispense energy at the same rate as the free L2 chargers: 7,200 J/s. That works out to be roughly 0.2gallons per hour, or a touch over a week to fill up an F150.

No hold open on the pumps either, for safety of course.

This made me laugh out loud.

I don't want to bum anybody out but, the West Texas water situation is gonna get really bad, really soon. Gonna make that West Coast dispute over the Colorado look like child's play.

Oh yeah I think I read about that in the modern sci fi classic The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi.

Anyway, maybe they should all stop voting for Republicans if they don't want to dry up and blow away. This is the outcome they voted for.

I don’t have problems with people watering lawns while every single golf course is going to continue dumping half a river of water on it every day for wealthy people to enjoy. Not to mention all the stupid automatic sprinklers all over corporate offices that just dump gallons in the middle of the hot summer day and half of that ends up in the road since the sprinkler heads aren’t maintained.

Plano doesn’t give a poo poo about asking heavy users to stop.

This is basically my backyard. Sod won't take and I'm not wasting water on it, so let nature do its thing. Love the red hornets that show up and assault my rear end.

This, but unironically. I have clover, dandelions, three kinds of grass and tons of weeds. I mow it until it dies mid summer, then I say gently caress it and let it go until fall. Code compliance loves me.
