Why would you pump grey water from house to house? That’s insane. A grey water system would just take water from any sinks, showers and baths in the house and pump it to the toilet tank.

That’s a really good way to stall for time while you try to think up an answer to an unexpected question.

Then unplug it, it’s either battery powered or mains powered if it vibrates.

Depending on where they lived, they could have frozen meat or dried meat to preserve it, and you can smoke meat anywhere if you build something to trap the smoke in around the fire. If there’s a party to hunt and kill the elephant the party can all chip in to preserve it.

If the ancestors of humans weren’t around on earth at the same time as dinosaurs, then what did humans evolve from when you look that far back? Aliens?

Dairy cattle aren’t raised for meat unless they are a dual purpose breed.

If you’re raising dairy cattle rather than beef what good is a cow who can’t get pregnant? I doubt all freemartin calves are kept.

That is emotional abuse and I’m sorry your family are treating you that way, it’s not OK. Can you speak to the school councillor about this? Especially if they’ve helped you before.

It was the 50’s and she was a woman, she wouldn’t have been expected to move out until she married.

Could’ve done much worse than that considering how easily elderly people’s skin can tear. Grandma might have been seriously hurt.

It’s poorly written and most of the sex scenes are assault. I don’t understand why it’s so popular.

Reply to LPT: Take a good picture of your kids before going to a busy place (like an amusement park or a sports arena). If they get lost, a photo will show exactly how they look and what they are wearing. by [deleted]
Use a sharpie to write your mobile number on them if they are too little to remember it. If they get lost and found by staff the staff will know how to contact you to let you know your kid is safe.

So long as the people manufacturing Xboxes had appropriate PPE to keep them safe from lead fumes, no one is going to be ingesting lead from Xboxes. Baby bottles on the other hand need to be made from food safe products only.

Reply to comment by marketrent in Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers used culinary seasoning in food preparation, according to analysis of the oldest charred food remains ever found by marketrent
The assumption that people 70,000 years ago would only eat a single type of food at a meal seems rather crazy to me. Where were they getting enough of it to feed the whole tribe? The idea that they gathered whatever meat and plants they could find and then cooked them all together makes a lot more sense.

If you were a lifeguard why the hell didn’t your training tell you what drowning sounds/looks like? That’s a training issue, not your fault.
