  • Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.

    The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.

    For example:

    MintPress News said it was a for-profit “regular news organization,” with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress’s anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were “retired businesspeople”, but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was “unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site’s ‘About Us’ page is similarly skinny.”[12]

    The irony of your insinuating I don’t check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn’t we all exercise this caution?

    This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted “ceasefire” in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.

    And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.

    I hope you have a better day.








  • I’ve got a similar situation to your rental for my basement (the main floor drains separately). There’s a macerator/pump combo in an 8ish gallon tank in a pit cut through the foundation (lined with concrete) that elevates to the main drain outside the house. The pump failed a couple years ago and was not fun to deal with. Luckily it was exclusively laundry that day. Everything connected to it is vented.

    When we get pushed to connect to sewer (one way or another), my plan is to get a bit silly and connect at the lowest level so we can avoid the pump for the future.
