This was actually fascinating. Water takes longer to dry on plastics not for the reason you think!
Today politicians can say complete nonsense safe in the knowledge their base won't get to hear it in their own media bubbles.

Because the highway onramp is closed due to subsidence plus SLR plus full moon, high tide,.Across the street from the on-ramp is a site where a five story affordable housing project has been approved to be built at grade. We totally have this climate adaptation thing down!

Why is it going to cost so much? Mainly because angry people who didn't want to pay rates were the only ones who voted in local elections. They elected other angry people who didn't want to raise rates and those people kept costs down via the foolproof method of "letting the pipes rot in the ground". Just a few years ago, 8,000 people in and around Havelock North got poisoned when sheep poo seeped into some poorly maintained water infrastructure. Four people died! Wellington's streets are now equal parts sewage and concrete. For a while there people in Otago were drinking lead.
Vote! Vote in your local election! Post your vote by 5pm today! It matters. Hayden explains this more hilariously than I can: thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-...

So very sorry.
I felt so bad and guilty - seeing the result of my actions directly to the person I had targeted instead of a faceless bunch of characters entirely changed my opinions on hackers and hacking.
They are real people with real lives being messed with.
