© Victor R. Caivano/AP Photo Using her cell phone as a flash light, a woman walks up the stairs to her sixth floor apartment in a building that has been without electricity for two weeks in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Thursday, Dec. 26, 2013. Power outages continue in Argentina's capital, where electricity usage is setting new records amid 100-degree (37.8 Celsius) temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere summer.

They're using old shit to do the story with minimal work, but how do they set usage records with the power off?

The usage records are set while causing brownouts which can progress to widespread blackout if left uncorrected.

asking for a friend.......

When you put the third bottle of bleach in the cupboard under the guest sink, should the thought process change from "....." or at best "wonder why mom keeps buying bleach" to "perhaps mom doesn't realize this (stupid place) is where I am putting all the bleach she buys and so buys more because we don't have any"

Put a prophylactic bottle of bleach under each sink in the house to keep them from reproducing.

Bleach be promiscuous.

BigV · 07-01-2019, 11:58 PM

Bleach, please.

Gravdigr · 07-03-2019, 01:39 PM

That's bleotch, please.

FTR, I will never refer to bleach any other way. It's Clorox Bleotch for me, forever and always.

It's color-safe, bleotch.

BigV · 07-06-2019, 12:27 AM

Thank you for the education.

Hmmm, Cf is a very busy person and might not yet have heard about this.

Anyway, a reminder wouldn't hurt.
