Many steam systems are never properly drained.

Should be done annually when the heat is off and the radiator is cold.

That's why they have a plug on the bottom of the radiator.

Honestly surprised they still had dial-up.

In many places, POTS modems don't work anymore because the lines are now digital.

It's sort of like translating to another language and back again: you often end-up with garbled nonsense.

In medicine, it is a real problem as FAX is still required.

No need for the snark.

Yes, horns coming through major ports of entry with radiation detectors will indeed be stopped.

That won't end the trade, just make it more profitable, and increase the viability of other avenues.

Even cheaper to pay-off agents.

That only accounts for the horns that are caught by customs.

If customs sees a horn, it will be seized.

Those horns already weren't the problem.

All the ones customs misses are.

Seems like a bad idea. Poachers don't care. The illegal trade will continue. People will end-up consuming radioactive horn.

It's like poisoning mice that leads to killing cats and raptors higher up the chain.

Tronald Dump has to get involved.

If the war ends without his involvement, he'll never be able to award himself a Nobel Peace Prize ...

... of course, he'll probably rename it after that ๐Ÿค”

Not it, but definitely interesting suggestion. Thanks!

His voice is not what I would have expected.

Icelandic / UK may be misleading. That's just how they struck me.

'Of Monsters And Men' comes to mind as an example of vocal contrast.

Interesting suggestion, but neither of their styles.

I suspect it is an indie group.

Help with song ID!

Unique voices. Childlike female voice (Icelandic?). Exceptionally suave male voice (UK?)

Song tells the story of how the couple first met on the swings in the playground across the street from school, and their relationship blossomed from there.

Never heard before nor since.

In Canada, we had [Minister] "Tsubouchi Tuna" (1995).

Government approved welfare shopping list included no-name dented cans of tuna.

A decade after Tunagate: large quantities of tuna had been declared unfit for human consumption, sold under order of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
