If they're smart enough to find and get to planet Earth, they might be able to handle lead abatement.


Maybe they could help Ithaca

From the Ithaca link above...
Quote:
An early customer was J.B. Duke’s American Tobacco monopoly, which ordered 10,000 guns in 1901. That enabled Ithaca Gun to double its operations with a 90-foot building expansion, according to the company’s historian, Walter Claude Snyder. Another less savory customer was Argentina’s right-wing government of the 1970s “Dirty War” period, which favored “Itaka” riot guns, according to a 1976 Ithaca New Times report.
I question the Argentine Government being "less savory" than J.B. Duke.

Three years ago we went to Ithaca Falls and my son spent a long time splashing around in the pool below the falls. Nice place.

I cannot imagine an Argentine gov't "more savory" than, well, anything, really.

I can't think of anything "less savory" than J.B. Duke, tobacco king.

Grown men bitching and sniping behind each others backs like teenagers, which is fine, like whatever.
But looks like I have to be the adult in the room and tell Queen Bee to shape up or ship out, which is a shame 'cause he's a nice guy and I like him

Holy shit, that's an expensive no-show fee. I guess they charge you for the whole appointment.

The previous administration's unchecked narcissism has reached Trump-Level grandiosity and denial. I want to stab myself in the brain.

What.
She.
I.
Don't.
Even.

Still, apparently, I only have 1 hour and 21 minutes left to work this week, and still have fuckloads to do, so it's pretty certain that I will make that up in overtime

Thunderboi's English teacher again......

the "rubric" for the second big assignment is even more fucked up than the first. Not only were four parts of it due the day before it was even set, but there's shit like first do this (due 4/21) then this (DUE 4/20) then this (due 4/13)...... So we emailed her about it and she's "yes that's right, they're just guidelines to shoot for..... how in the fuck are you supposed to shoot for the day before the fucking assignment is set? and and and.... Does this English teacher understand the word "then"? aaaaaargh
